Engine issue for Ott. What a shame
OK, then. Engine issue for Tanak.
Oh my... Engine issue?!
Was about to say after today that it was Tanak's chance... if it's a technical retirement, very bad luck for him
I fucking hate watching rally as Tänak fan.
Fuck Hyundai and this Mickey Mouse Toyota cup
So just Hyundai doing Hyundai things then.
Puts me in a great mood heading to CER in a month‘s time…
At least top3 is close: Fourmaux, Neuville, Ogier in 2.3 sec.
Hyundai 1-2... but not Tanak. Tough one to take.
Only hope for Kalle is that the rain wets the stages enough to give him an advantage over the top 4 tomorrow, especially over his title contenders teammates.
What a shitbox.
Please be the Toyota rumor true, even with half season I would be happy.
This move to Hyundai has been miserable and one of the worst ever in Motorsport history
As some drivers already pointed out tire-ware tomorrow, I think it is logical to expect that Ogier is doing well. But if this is some slippy mud-show, then Rovanperä may have a chance.
Tweet from Hyundai: Disaster for Ott and Martin, they've been forced to stop from the lead on the final stage of the say with a suspected engine issue.

What I'd give to see Tanak or Neville in a Yaris
So McErlean lost 38 seconds with rear puncture and Rovanpera over a minute. Strange. Rovanpera's tire even looked well. Probably Kalle was just playing it more safe..
Tomorrow is well-opened. But difficult and wet conditions indicate another win of Ogier. Maybe Evans could climb back. I can't see Kalle climbing back to TOP 4 with pure speed, just TOP 5 is possible.
Oliver leads WRC2, Gryazin 2nd +10,4 secs
Is there news if Tänak continues today with superrally?
Think I'm gonna pass the last three rallies. Every time it ends in tears.
This cant be normal anymore, how many engine failures or another technical gremlins he could have?
Neuville can easily pass Tanak in championship standings, if he won't restart, which is quite likely.. Cruel.
On the other hand, Tanak's teammates can hold others of being 1-2. It's in their hands
Rain has allready fallen in Chile overnight, it's going to be wet in the morning and I wouldn't eliminate a chance of fog.
Tanak is in the starting list for today
FX Demaison:
"Unfortunately, an engine failure brought his day to an early end. He will be back with a different engine and a clear mission to score points on Sunday.”
In RallyTV they try to talk us away from the fact the stage already started.
Heller stopped 800 m in to SS7
Difficult conditions
Problems for McErlean also (engine)
