We'll see, I have no idea. Prokop said they did very good job improving their asphalt tyres but unfortunately nobody expected to do whole MRC on wide snow tyres which are normally useful only for one event in the season...

So, the wetaher looks like 4 studs for Turini, then 2 supersofts and 2 studs for next stage and 4 studs for Turini again. Temperature at 900m is around +1 at the moment. That means 0 degrees at around 1100m. Currently snow aind rainfall should get heavier.

Ogier cames the same, but often let's the car slide when starts to accelerate. Front tyres are opposite to the sideway.
Bouffier is the same as Ogier, but lets the car slide less.
Jari-Matti comes all sideways to the hearspin and leaves sideways.

Have to "study" more about Mikko, Dani and Juho.

Mikko has said when he has compared data from his and Loeb’s driving that he is coming to fast into corners.

I once saw a animation comparing Loeb’s and Marcus breaking on tarmac (WRC was on Eurosport). Marcus had one long breaking but Loeb had several short breakings probably to have optimum speed entering the corner.

Isn’t said that slow in and fast out.

Ketomaa says that he has now been him selves involved in the development of the DMACK winter tyres and the tyres should be better now.

Google Translate

Btw, are Swedish type tyres allowed in Latvia?

It's not. Fiesta WRC engine is based on modern stock 1.6 Eco Boost engine. Mini engine is also production based (PSA/BMW EP6CDT). I think that Citroën and VW uses purpose built racing units however I'm not sure about VW.

About the ideal steering. I was thinking to myself the same when I saw this photo of Novikov. All wheels perfectly straight with best possible traction.

Are these guys recording a bit and then uploading? As I seem to be able to skip through the 'live' footage, unless I am looking in the wrong place?

It should be where it says "Broadcaster" (at top of videos), the rest are videos, yes

interesting info, thanks.

From what I know there are only two purpose built engines in the WRC at the minute Citroen and VW. Both Ford and Mini are derived from production units.

SS15 very challenging! 0.5c and sleet at start, slush turning to snow and ice to Col at 14kms. Wet to stop.

Probably because he's a nine-time World Champion, and you don't become nine-time World Champion by deciding your tyre chocie with a magic 8-ball.

It was a rhetorical question :) . Everybody knows that Loeb won't lose the rally due to a tyre choice.

Actuaaly Mikko said in the same VM interview that it doesn't actually matter what tyres Loeb has.
He is cabable of making fast stage times with the wrong tyres too.
That's not fare, is it? :D :rolleyes:

ACM has delayed 25 minutes the second and third run through Turini and the second one through Luceram to allow ovreurs drive into them again. So, SS16 at 17:17, SS17 at 21.23 and SS18 at 22.06.
