Tanaks crash from another angle
https://youtu.be/3R_eIk1EvJc
wtf .. theres really nothing Tänak could have done different to avoid this. Just a huge hole with a rock in there, massive impact with it.
Such a shame .. thinking that, spectators should have been even warning him or something, considering that theres Paddons car in flames also ..
Only in Portugal, they say :)Quote:

Is there any photo/video of Ogier at the same place as Paddon's/ Tanak's accidents.
Is the VW shock absorber valving different to Hyundai? Does the VW - motor have more torque and better brakes so Ogier does not have to take as bigger cuts?
Were you there?! Did you see how the fire developed in those 10 minutes?!Quote:

Thisis not excuse. Forrest fire in such bushes=stop immediately all kind of traffic way before incident. That mean not just yellow flag. If you look heli footage form Tänak scene, it does not look like controlled fire. Such things can go out of control very easily in seconds. What I want to say is that theys should lear from it not to repeat such a horror movie thing.Quote:

He passed the scene 2 minutes later and there is a big smoke already. That means, Mikkelsen+4 minutes, Sordo +6 minutes, Latvala +8 minutes, Tänak +10 minutes.. until Prokop +18 minutes all passed this spot in competitive mode
And spectators in spot tell that Ogier was saved by the fact that he was cutting more, that lifted all his fou feels in air and maybe also superior VW suspension helped to saved him.
Kopecky will restart today.
Stupid and frustrating to have to retire without any technical problem or accident.
Why Kopecky retired then?
Too many punctures and too few spare tyres.Quote:
