That was hardly a gamble here. The weather was just something in between, the stages were very short and in the end no choice brough any major advantage.Quote:

I've only now caught up to the happenings... I suppose today doesn't matter so much, but I think tomorrow the actual gaps will be made.
As for Tanak's comments I think they were 100% a dig at MSport. As Tanak comments go I think they were "below average" in sharpness he said way worse stuff about Hyundai for example. I think he didn't have a good experience this year. Remember when he signed? He shook hands and said he went there "to win", but then the only improvement they made to the car was diffs and the car fell apart several times, I think he has the right to be pissed off.
Anyway, to me this seems it could be a "Neuville style" rally and I expected his closest oponent to be Ogier because Evans and Rovanpera would keep something in reserve due to the championship implications, but let's see, there could be surprises!

spot on, I think Evan's strength comes in unusual situations that he makes the best of and in his consistency, his weakness is his absolute pace in comparison to the likes of Ogier or Tanak. Still, the rally could come to him depending on the conditions.Quote:

It is more complex. There were issues with plates during scrutineering. More than 10 cars didnt passes scrutineering because of same issue. Luckily for them there was long time between scrutineering and start of rally, so they had time to manage it. You can see for example few new french plates which were managed during one day. So all of them were able to start. But some of them didnt have correct valid plates and police plus german customs checked the cars on czech-german border during their return back to Germany.Quote:

Same here, we could be wet and miserable the evening.Quote:

Sadly too much rain usually makes spectating of asphalt events boring. I really don't like rainy asphalt ones. That's also why I decided that it will be more fun on RallyTV than live today.Quote:

Neuville just said that some anticuts were removed by the spectators.
Kalle will walk this with these conditions
Broken suspension for Ogier
Oh thats a puncture
Puncture.
Rim was broken and still whining about Pirelli.
Wait, did Ogier just confirm Michelin back for 2025?!?!
Ogier:
,,I can't wait when Michelin is back''
Wtf lappi with such a pace on wet tarmac with Hyundai!
He obviously hit something, rim was pretty badly broken
That sounds quite funny when you have a 5 cm deep dent in the rim.Quote:
