weird, Tänak says nothing about that engine issue (it was reported from a fan who is at the rally the the engine didnt sound normal), he says there were some small problems with the power steering on the first pass and then he just saved the tyres on 2nd and 3rd pass.
Maybe something else caused the weird soundQuote:

just found what color difference have the 3 Toyota drivers at their yaris.
Black side mirrors for Lappi
black mirrors with red stripe for Latvala
and black mirrors with white stripe for Juho
Could be really minor stuff like a dent in the exhaust or something like that.Quote:

For those of you who dont understand Norwegian. On this Inboard with Mikkelsen from shakedown, he and the codriver agrees that the car is very nervous under breaking. The rear of the car comes out on the smallest breaking.
Any live stream of the SSS ?
And even MIKKELSEN can't setup it?
Asked whether the Norwegian had ever performed well in Sardinia compared to Poland or Finland, the Citroën team manager first wanted to justify his choice.
"I asked myself this question, then I looked more closely at Andreas's race last year. Before taking the stone, it was in the times of Ogier and Ostberg which also were dropped compared to Neuville and Latvala. It must also be taken into account that he has never really benefited from a good position on the road so he is potentially performing here, "analyzed the Belgian.
"In a sense, at the earliest we could finalize something with Andreas, at best it was. The opportunity of Sardinia came up and was seized. It would certainly have been very successful in Poland and Finland but it can not be said that it was never fast in Sardinia, it just did not materialize. "
More than a simple one-shot, the collaboration with the former Volkswagen driver is a perfect opportunity for the whole team to move forward in the right direction.
"The presence of Andreas in the team this weekend has a double interest. On the one hand, thanks to his experience with two other WRC 2017, he brings an additional opinion on our car. On the other hand, we will have a second reference on the competitiveness of the C3, "Matton confessed. "Indeed, Kris never really had any references in relation to young people (Breen and Lefebvre) to know on what rhythm he was driving with the car. Here, the reference will be more precise, even if the knowledge of the car will not be equal. Craig will also be able to gauge against another top driver with experience. "
"He has a different piloting from Kris that opens up new avenues of exploration. We also had confirmations concerning the work done at the beginning of the year, which was quite similar to the competition. It's encouraging and it saves us from wasting time asking questions. Without revolutionizing the car, you save time. "
The director of the red then addressed the case of Stéphane Lefebvre forced to give up his place in the C3 WRC for this event.
"Stéphane made this decision in a constructive way. He understood that this choice was in the interest of the team. He also attended Andreas's tests to take advantage of his experience. "
The Belgian director of Citroën Racing then concluded by discussing the future which Mikkelsen's result in Sardinia could inevitably follow.
"He has no pressure, things have been done quickly and the objectives are not fixed to medium and long term. The collaboration and integration with the team went well and the return it makes is very interesting. If we can work together again, I think both sides will be winners, but to date, nothing has yet been done. "

watch Meeke at 0,35 sec,also compare with other cars

Yes he says that, but doesn't say anything about car or setup.Quote:

Plenty of time to find one... ;)Quote:

Don't you people think that you are starting to overblow stuff a bit?
EDIT: Mikkelsen does also similar thing just after Meeke. But when you watch the onboard which clearly is from a different run the car is dead stable (it's on 1:40). Just a question of how you enter the corner/jump.

@dupanton could you please open back the pickems thread??? I thought it would close in the next hour or so. please it would be much appreciated!!
Meeke was always complaining that the car was very nervous and twichty which can be derived from oversteer under braking.Quote:

And Sweden as clear example of itQuote:

Ahhhaaa! Mads :D
MIkklsen the fastest Citroen after this stage.
Yaris doesn't like slow-speed stages?
always a problem with Tänak, now the whipers didnt work
damn Neuville! TOP7 cars Fords and Hyundais
Not good one for Toyotas, hope they can bring gears for tomorrow stages.
Get in Neuville, keep it up
Then the three Citroens, then the Toyotas.Quote:
