Good point, hopefully they send a car around with the gravel crews and can update the information just before the stage runs.Quote:

My point was that the part about wet/dry/ice/snow isn't going to be accurate. They just posted a more recent update though, great content!Quote:

Hats off to Hankook for this info.

Unfortunately it is too hot and too dry...
Stupid fans for evans with the smoke
Tanak back with his classic Monte pace
Tänak with a plan or something with the car
The stage beginning was really good and then suddenly dropped time
Just careful I would say, it looks a bit wet and dirty towards the end.. Fourmaux quicker.
Katsuta big lost and Kalle isn't very fast too
Or the fact that his test day was with heavy rain and wet. Hasn’t got experience with dryQuote:

Hankook has posted the tire info now
Could be, the next stages will be interestingQuote:

Munster as expected, Solberg stopped.
Solberg stopped
Nightmare for Solberg, puncture?
Ffs Solberg :D
Neuville and Fourmaux with 4 super soft and 2 winter tires
Ogier, Tänak, Katsuta, Kalle with 5 super softs
Evans, Pajari and Josh with 6 super softs
Munster with 2 softs and 4 super softs
Hot damn, it is good to be watching a rally again.
It's awesome. And this year the drivers will have eevn more demanding with one extra event added, they will only have one month of "free time"
Just tuned in. Lets goooo!!!
What happened to mcerlean?
Thought that the stage won't get much dirty but from Kalle's run, it was already dirty especially 2nd half of the stage.
Just taking it slow and careful, I think.Quote:

Atleast Serderidis and Munster will have their own fight
Yeah, Monte is pretty much the worst rally to debaut in a new car.Quote:

Surprised times are Tanak, Katsuta, Rovanpera and Fourmaux (he was so hyped he will throw the glow to everything straight away)... But I wasn't surprised at M-Sport drivers. Josh is first time in this car. But Munster is completely dissapointment.
But on the other hand we saw Dakar. Dacia, Ford and also Toyota did all dissapoint. And then ex WRC friend won with private entry. That was surprise, since I never imagined he will fly high there.

However this is Monte you never know what is gonna happen anytime.
Neuville and Fourmaux's winter tires are quite a surprise for me
When are SS2 & SS3 starting ?
