If someone's opinion is ridiculous, the only person humiliated by that is the person who put forward such funny opinion. Why should it bother you, having something to smile about?Quote:

why tanak is so slow?
Mikkelsen was +2.15 secs/km on the first stage. That has gradually come down to +0.98 secs/km on SS4. He probably deserves to reach the end of the rally until his pace is judged.
Says car is not good, worse than in Monte, and he was also the only one who took all softs, which wasn't optimal.Quote:

I didn't pay much attention to WRC2 before this year. I had the impression that he was always quick but crashed a lot, and he's been getting more reliable in recent years. Is that about right?
It is also tarmac + C3 combo, that works well on such roads.. like they were fast in Monte with Rossell alsoQuote:

Impressive morning from Evans and Ogier tho.. Let's see if some rain would come in the Afternoon, some clouds ale rising here
My weather app shows 0% chance of a rain this afternoon. But on Saturday its light rain possible all day.Quote:

Let´s go back to the rally itself.
Tänak fighting with Fourmaux is a thing I didn’t expect for this season
Fourmaux is doing well. If we take the assumption, that M-Sport's Ford is not on the level with Hyundai and Toyota, then very well.
Schwarz crash, crew ok

What is the point of Mikkelsen? Lappi or Sordo would do a better job
Why there isn't satellite teams anymore like 10 years ago? That way it could run last years' cars or old spec. Or paying drivers. The grid would be bigger.
There wouldn't be more people. Otherwise M-Sport would be fielding as many chassis as they have.Quote:

Sorry for interrupting ,,why Mikkelsen is driving..'' conversation..
But Neuville had FR puncture, but didn't lose too much..

edit: I got confused by camera-position, it was front right.
Ogier shaking his ass there...
Damn, he got away with it again. [/Evans fan]Quote:

Neuville clipped a rock 5km in and damaged the wheel so did well to lose so little.
What time lost are you expecting on 10km stage?Quote:

Pajari is doing his bit to reduce the commercialization of rallying, by knocking the advertising hoardings over.
At least 15minutesQuote:
