Ott’s taking back time on sp3
Puncture for Neuville
Kalle last 3 splits are slower from Hellers
How many of you want to take a car and just to drive the road where is the stage at the moment? Visually really nice area.
Ott´s tyrechoice will pay at the end of the loop.
Good run by Tanak on those tyres and with an extra spare compared to Rovanpera.
Must have had a spin or smth.Quote:

Not bad at all from Ott, those hard tyres should really pay off on the longest stage
Massive dust for rally2 guys
Full 360 without stopping from Solberg...!
Nice save.
Pajari gets more dust from Rally1 car than others from Rally2 cars?
Yeah, please at least 1 point for that spin! :)Quote:

FOUR MINUTE INTERVALS IN PLACE
Responding to the dust problems of SS7, Rally1 cars will start SS8 four minutes apart
Finally they are reacting like they shouldQuote:

Lappi’s accident from another angle, very lucky no one was hurt.
Yeah, but will they give Rally2 cars 4 mins as well? Or still two minutes?Quote:

Nothing to save there when they are pretty much doneQuote:

... or from another point of view, others just lose a lot of time as they don't have any working tires left.Quote:

... but with overly optimistic tyre-strategy it all seems to work out in the opposite wayQuote:

jepp. Kalle driving Heller tempo between split 1 and 2...
Tyres are so done and they burst
