Anyone heading out to stages in Poland this afternoon, the main road from Mikolajki to Orzysz is closed by an accident 6kms out of Mikolajki
Really like the shots so far, looks like to be a great rally again.
I was spectating the shakedown there, really great crest-corner combination with high speed! Paddon had really wide and attack-ious line, but nearly everyone had great slide angle over that crest, most impressive ones among Paddon were Ogier, JML, Neuville, Henning and Holowczyc. To my eye Citroens were really calm, as were Fiestas too. Hyundais seemed to have some tendency to oversteer but nothing big, could be down to driving style too.
Next up for me after coffee break is SS2 Kruklanki, I've chosen an interesting long left over crest with a very high-speed entry and blank backdrop with no visual cues, lets see who has the best notes. :)
PS. To my ear DS3 R5 sounds awesome!
One quick shot from SD junction when I was leaving:

as for now quite nice weather, sunny, with some wind. crews heading for ceremonial start and then 3 stages (incl. sss).
Yes, initial forecast failed completely. Currently it looks like there will be no significant rain until Saturay evening (I do not have longer reliable prediction). There is very high rain risk on Lithuanian stages today in the evening and tonight but I hope it will not be too bad. Sky looks really black in some places.
3-2-1 start :)
Can anyone access the splits on Citroen website?
Start list to first leg - http://rally-base.com/2014/lotos-ral...TimeTypeId=459
Latvala almost 1sec/km slower at 2nd split
Ogiers average was 126.43!
splits are not working=we will do shoot out.
Ogier already so much faster than JML
TYRE NEWS All WRC Michelin drivers on 5 soft Latitude Cross tyres
Paddon 7:05.9 with noisy front end: "I think it's just the sump guard - no diff rattle anyway" @HaydenPaddon #WRC
Tanak at the end of the stage must be very near of Rendina.Hopefully not so much dust.
Why JML is first on the road?
Poor start by the Finns.. :(
Better by Meeke & Kubica. :)
Ogier is first on the road.
wow Latvala +5,6 at 1st split.
And now it's Ogier - Ostberg - Latvala? WTF is going on...
And back to normal... wrc.com computers are f*ed up.
Fuchs didn't start in Sardegna because the Fiesta R5 has engine problems, now after one stage in Polski he has engine problems again..
(32 - Kruuda Karl / Järveoja Martin): went through stage in road mode, changed pop-off valve before stage
again problems for 208?
