Heller is moving again.
... but not anymore. I wonder did he went off the place where Rovanperä and Munster had their moments, just before McErlean
Good time by Evans, as it should be in Wales Rally GB conditions! ;)
Great time by Evans. Neuville and Ogier weren't comfortable with the wet parts of the stages yesterday, so not surprising they're losing time.
Kalle will not recover enough time to pass anyone else on speed beyond Katsuta, I think...
8 seconds covering the top 4! Incredible battle for the lead
Great to have these wet muddy conditions and another type of test for the drivers. It's been too long.
Evans loosing a lot now, is the road really getting too bad?
Seems like the road might be getting a bit polished with all the mud? Just making it really slippery.
As I remember, Neuville had engine change during this season and they said it was an already used engine, so Hyundai could change it.Quote:

E: prob. just NeuvilleQuote:

It feel like good old days when Loeb post fastest time being 1st on a road and the rest just fighting for 2nd
Tänak is not starting?
On the maps Tanak is moving towards service
Kalle to open the road then, good news for him if it stays wet, bad news if it dries out...
W T F
This can't be tactical right? What a piece of shit of a car.
Car is often worse than Ford.. just 5x more money invested :D
Tänak just got tired and went to prepare for Super Sunday.
on the opposite, team stated was to prepare for tomorrow.Quote:

With 2 x fords retired earlier in the day, he knows he won't be first car on the road for Super Sunday now.Quote:

This makes the afternoon interesting to say the least, set-up, tyres make your mind up guys.....
Fourmaux sounds positive towards the afternoon. Interesting..
Saving tyres before going to service?Quote:

The spare engine Tanak's using also has an issue, so he's retired again in order to protect it.
Explaining that decision back in Concepción, Tänak said: “By regulation you’re allowed two engines per year. This is actually also the engine which we had a problem in Sweden and it’s also not in a good shape. So it was already getting on the limit on these two stages. So yeah, we try to save it for Super Sunday and hopefully it can take us through four stages.

Does he have an working engine till the end of this season? Is it forbidden to carry out major repairs to the engine during the season? If this engine was still not working properly from Sweden, then there probably are some kind of restrictions. Also we don't know if the broken engine from yesterday is repairable.Quote:
