Evans broken rear right suspension

Hynudead…..I wonder how the Polo would fare in here.
not a good look for hankook. it seems they can't make tyres that are suitable for rough rallies.
Ogier taking quite a lot of time back from Solberg.. nothing lost for Ogier yet
Stage stopped after Rally1?
Solberg will loose massively here, Hyundai retiring after stage end or will they do it?
Solberg going 170+kph basically blindfolded.. omg
Ogier and Solberg retired !!

@TGR_WRC
The demanding rough and muddy conditions this morning have really taken their toll.
Unfortunately two more of our cars have to retire for today on the road section after SS13: #99 with transmission and alternator issues and #1 with an alternator issue.
Wtf?
So... Katsuta leads with a minute in hand over Neuville?
I wasn't following this rally and just popped in for a look at the forum. Seems I picked my moment...Quote:

Wow! Yet more drama!
Toyota’s Takamoto Katsuta has moved into the Safari Rally Kenya lead after Oliver Solberg and Sebastien Ogier were forced to stop on the road section coming back to service.
Hyundai could still take the win here, what a turn of events !
Neither Pajari nor Katsuta are entered for Toyota main team manufacturer points. Pajari might build a useful lead here in the 2026 battle between TGR2 and M-Sport.
I don't think the Rally1 cars were designed for Rally Raid/ Cross Country conditions. Would be interesting see the stage times of a Dakar Hilux in the mud.
Yes, I'd be very curious to see that.Quote:

Finally a proper safari, not just high speed through savanna. Don’t like the fact that stages get cancelled because of conditions (safety reasons are different) , this is rallying, not racing.
Let's see if Warrior 2 is cancelled or not
If Rally2 cars take overall points, isn´t it unfair, because they had advantage not running SS13? If - and a big if - no car had run Sleeping warrior we´ve had those top three still in the rally...
SLEEPING WARRIOR 2
SS 16 is shortened by 4.52 km from the start. New start is 50 m after box 6 on page 271 in Road
Book 2. Target time for TC16 remains unchanged.
Big disagree, when conditions looks like as such that even an articular hauler would get into trouble them it's not rallying.Quote:

This too, but should not have cancelled for rally2 cars in the first placeQuote:

Huge chance for Taka, Fourmaux or maybe even Pajari to get their first win.
So Wheatley was serious after all about winning both championships
so? Off road events are still not rallying,Quote:

My quote has nothing to do with championship. Just rules handling...Quote:
