The dust will be better tomorrow - 2 min gaps during shakedown, 3 mins during the actual stages.

Let's see if Hyundai can repeat what they did last year or if Toyota will continue their win streak, which is already embarassingly long. Or if M-Sport gets the most unexpected win of all times :D

EKO Acropolis Rally
@AcropolisRally
Due to severe traffic congestion coming into the holding area in Athens, the start of the rally is delayed. New start times will be communicated later.
Traffic jam in Greece.. no way. Must be first time..
Use police escort or smth ffs
cancelled as TV stage
ridiculous
Rally Journal saying that not all drivers have had a chance to recce the stage yet, so the delay could be even longer. (Might have been mentioned on tv coverage too but I had it muted)

For those who doesn't have a subscription with RallyTV, there's Greek pay-tv "Cosmote TV" who is broadcasting live the stage on YouTube (probably it has geographical restrictions, so a VPN might help.Quote:
