Average speed 131.1km/h on first stage
In recce onboard that stage seemed like endless meaningless straight. Wondering where Nasser found place to crash...Quote:

I agree. Onboards always straightens and flattens the road. SS2 and SS13 (opposite direction of SS2) seemed most boring stages to me, lets say so :)Quote:

Btw, my money is on Mikkelsen for this event. Last year he was most impressive driver on these roads. VW is most powerfull car still, he has equal car with others VW guys and he is in a good mood now due to new contract.
Good mode or good mood?
Sorry, my mistake :)Quote:

I think both. :)
He can win indeed but I think soon or later Ogier will take all the gap back.
Good job so far btw.
Tanak's gonna take lead? :eek:
Tänak with brake problems but fastest, damn Fiesta!!!!
Nice splits by Tanak. EstWRC should be happy :)
im happy but worried, first stage gearbox and now brakes :(
And Tanak takes lead!
I'm glad I picked a VW 1-2-3 in the pickems.
Yesterday one thing caught my eye at the SSS: Acceleration from the starting line. All the Hyundais were slower to the first braking point and VWs beat the Fords. About the Citroen...hmm...little bit difficult to say...
These kinds of roads are natural for him. I don't believe in Fiesta reliability unfortunately...Quote:

Only time will tell but I am bit skeptic about the reliability as wellQuote:

Luckily it seems that nothing serious

Just now ·
A good stage, nice to drive, Just a strange feeling with the brakes but ok
Seems like Lefebvre finally found the speed. The known stages of Ypres worked for his confidence.
Lefebvre found,Abbring lost.Quote:

Paddon nice pace.
Kruuda even faster than Lappi.
Tanak up on Split 1...
And wins SS4... :)
Wilson and other people just give him more time and he will be like that on every rally, great performance so far :)
'I am quite flat out, it is nice, the car is just perfect. The instruction was to let the other guys know we are here for the second half of the season...' :DQuote:

Lappi is faster than Prokop and Abbring! Just 0.9s/km slower from Tanak
