Ott doesnt seem to care about the tires
The rules say you're allocated 20 tyres for the rally, and additional 4 if you start the shakedown. Thus you could get 24, which is essentially full 6 for all four legs of the rally.Quote:

Dunno but Toyota should have the data if someone, with Hänninen having driven the event.Quote:

well, Paavo reports and sent photo. Full gravel in the bottom, after three times. No ruts.
For sure they save tyres.
However I think it´s stupid rule. Let the four tyres be outside competition, so we get full speed on SD.
nice time by Egon Kaur on his second run
Looks like big road development atm. Solberg, Greensmith, Loubet etc. all getting 1-2 s/km faster.
Not sure how relevant for the rally.
I thought the rules changed after 2017, but maybe it's a new rule for these short events?Quote:
