It has happened many times before in situations when the audio does not work both ways but works from a driver to co-driver, then there is an easy decision to swap.Quote:

edit: repearing something on the road section, is he even able to start?
edit 2: do I need to say n+1th time that previously we had "Maps" for that...
Tanak slow getaway...
good that he has a big gap with the next drivers but for sure he will loose the lead
10s down already.

cant believe how bad the Hyundai is here always
why didnt they risk and bring the new car here, the end result is same
Down to 3rd now. At least the car still running. One to go.
Not to be overly sardonic in the face of an utterly familiar story… but man, great move by Hyundai to bring the old car.
Works just as well as it has every year since the Safari came back.
Hyundai should have left 2 years ago
Thanks a lot! How it is possible that there is no more this Live Map in WRC+ Rally TV? What kind of amateurs they are?Quote:

Has anyone spotted a single animal yet during the live stage coverage?
It's Friday.Quote:

Probably, given that Starlet is a Toyota. :DQuote:

Just for background, some years ago they participated in one rally in Estonia with Starlet.Quote:

Yes, I am aware of that. But I couldn't help quipping the joke anyway.Quote:

Tanak explains the issue...
https://x.com/DirtFishRally/status/1903090485545050565
Neuville would lead by 30s if he didn't has the problems
and Tänak would lead almost with a minute without the problems....Quote:

so Evans and Kalle the only ones today who didnt have problems (major ones) and it also shows with them being 1-2.
Tänak had 45 sec lead over Evans before his problems started and he is 55 secoonds down at the moment, but as the starting order is reversed tomorrow then i doubt he can make such a gap again.
The engine problem in Sweden and the driveshaft here in Kenya have both stolen a possible win from him and are very costly in the championship standings.
Lets see tomorrow
Tanak and Neuville can take positives from today, even though Toyota's probably weren't pushing the limits, Hyundai's were clearly faster.. We have another long day tomorrow and let's see if weather is going to change things. Weather is so random in Kenya lol, I don't know after all these years
