Strange engine sound from Ogier's car in SS2: https://youtu.be/rhUiGQ1HgSM
did they said something about it at the rallyradio?
iRally @Official_iRally 1 ώραΠριν από 1 ώρα
Reports coming in that Ogier, Neuville and Sordo took an incorrect junction in the stage #WRC #RallyArgentina #iRally
Is it possible that some water entered in the engine during a watersplash and damaged something? Maybe a co-driver error that did not close the pipes to keep water outside?Quote:

With VW specifying Ogier had a 'technical problem', they clearly want to show its not some kind of error by the crew.
On the video it sounded to me like a broken manifold or not running on all cylinders ...
so, the m-sport drivers have 2 spare soft tires while others have 1.
Early days but can Meeke grasp his Argentina chance ??

if he doesn't bin it he has a chance.Quote:

Neuville: "Andreas was in front of me driving very slowly so I had to give him a push. It's no fun at all. This is more like Dakar."
probably too much km with flat tyre from previous stage.Quote:

But still leads?
Still waiting to see the real speed of Tänak but pretty good so far in 4th with easy tempo. Great to see someone else leading the rally :)
Yes, he is still leading by 15 sec;)Quote:

Edit.. moving now.. probably will be very late
Protasov in trouble? That other stage end commentator is hard work.
iRally @Official_iRally
Paddon "Exhaust has fallen off, gears are shot, it's going to be harder this afternoon...
Tänak: Now 4th after SS3. Really nice and fast at the start then it was more narrow. Trying to take it easy to make sure everything is right
Mikkelsen doing 180 km/h
lololol
FRI 11:16 - SS3: WRC 2 PROTASOV
His co-driver Pavlo Cherepin gives an update: "The wheel came off two corners before the end. We will try and get back to service." Protasov is still in stage looking for the wheel. Without it on the car he will have to retire.

And he's brought with him the missing wheel, hub and drive-shaft. He and Cherepin are off to try and fit the bits back on the car.

and splits now working great for me in wrc+ after stage 2.
so he was slower even with not flat tyre.Quote:
