Maybe modern rally drivers have clause in their contract, no testing in bad weather.Quote:

Maybe this was first time their hi-tech wipers actually worked?
/s
And I wonder if he didn't use them in Monte or Sweden just to clean the windscreen? Or if he meant that he hadn't driven in wet conditions with wipers working all the time, then this is even more strange for me. How different can it be from previous years... Very strange.Quote:

SS1 Chris Ingram 2nd fastest in WRC2.
What kind of s**t live is this.

Man Tänak and Breen already so far back time wise
Still a long way to go, lets hope they just get to the end of the day in one piece.Quote:

Loubet travelling slowly
huge disappointment for Loubet.. seems like another (3rd) puncture on SS2
any point to continue? better to save budget for other event?
Massive puncture risk for later starters too. Minefield
So slippery. Thierry with a great save and all over the place
What Breen said basically means he hasn’t really driven the car in wet conditions. Don’t take the wiper comment too literally.Quote:

SS3 time better by Breen, at least in the ballpark of the top two.
Evans activated stage mode, fastest on split 1 by 1.7s
Also nice time from Tänak
Fourmaux crash
Fourmaux off.
The same place where Neuville had a moment
Lost the rear and went trough a hedge...
Hybrid boost off the line maybe didnt help Fourmaux.
Evans shows his true pace.
Where the hell that suddenly came from Evans
Nice job
Less cutting on this stage.Quote:

Still grates that Msport could've had a stronger team for their new car, yet literally showed no ambition and took the money instead.
Greenslow back to his usual and Fourmaux can't buy a clean rally.
Agreed.Quote:

Kalle with a moment or two...
They should have Breen and Mikkelsen as the two safe pts scorers for the full season. Can both be in and around podium places on a fair few events, and maybe Breen can challenge for a win in Ypres/ Finland.Quote:

That would give Ford proper publicity, like in Monte. Remember Ford are heavily backing this car/ hybrid era, this isn't hard up Msport being hung out to fend for themselves.
Greensmith should be doing a Loubet as a full pay driver outside of a manufacturer team. Fourmaux is sadly feeling the pressure, I had high hopes for him but let's hope he improves.
These wet muddy stages should suit Breen... very like Ireland.
Very good stage times from Chris Ingram - better than Gryazin, Kajto, Lefebvre, Camili, Huttunen, Lindholm...
you are a bit arsh on Greensmith, so far he is still faster than Solberg, Katsuta and Evans...
Tanak lost time to Breen on the wetter road.
Massive loss for Ott in the second half of the stage
Only 1.9 secs in front of Breen now
