Good morning, it's rally day!
All the Michelin @WRC drivers with 5 MICHELIN Pilot Sport H5
Ken Torn had to change engine, thus five minute penalty is issued.
Morning guys
gonna be a exciting day!
None of the Finns have yet to manage to disappoint in this rally, so the overall feeling is good. Judging by the first three rallies of the season, it all will change once SS1 gets underway, so I try to enjoy while I still can...
:) The same feeling, but maybe Lappi can make some surprise...Quote:

What a dramatic opening stage. Pieniazek also with a puncture.
Well this has to be one of the most unexpected stage results so far this season (and that's even counting R5s beating most WRCs on first run of Sweden PS)
In points:
- Sunninen faster than Ogier on his first Corsica stage in WRC
- Evans fastest
- Loeb crashing in first stage after like 4 mins of driving
Let's see if these kind of positions will last.
I think thats the problem with the Hyundai. Its possible to go fast but the risks are very high. Understeer/oversteer and losing the rear seems to be a returning problem. If they dont solve these problems they dont stand a chance against citroen/toyota.Quote:

Neuville and Sordo were pretty quick in Spain on dry tarmac and were happier with the upgrades. Thierry quick in Monte on the dry too fighting with Ogier, so I wouldn't expect them to be really slow.Quote:

Great start by Evans... didnt see that coming !
"Pretty quick" meant ending 4th and 5th in standings, but on pace they were also behind Tanak and Latvala so 6-7th.Quote:

Dry tarmac!!!! It was a monsoon for most of Saturday. You can check the drivers comments.Quote:
