E: same story with Sordo, the car doesnt move basically at all on the same place.

Can't see the onboards myself atm, but from what you say it could have been caused by running his car lower than others again? I recall the same thing being the cause for several of his DNF's with Toyota.

they can be seen from the SS13 live..

If he had finished the stage and only got penalty for the last one, he would have been 9th overall and 1min10 to 7th Lappi..

Maybe. It’s a fast place and it’s only for a second or less so hard to judge.


Have to wait for his own comments. Maybe I’m totally wrong but the fact that he curses already in the next corner makes me believe it was the moment

Hyundai have to enter one of Neuville/Tanak to get manu points tomorrow. But they can even drive in road mode and just get to finish and get 6 or 8 points.

Watching this video, I think it'd be cool to have a proper mixed rally again, with both tarmac and gravel in the same loop.

Not sure what you mean. Mixed surface rallies were banned from WRC from 1997 to 2009 and before that servicing was more free, so you rarely had to drive on tarmac with gravel tyres. And even in those days, Sanremo and Catalunya had distinct tarmac and gravel loops. Actually even Portugal had distinct tarmac loops, but sometimes just had some tarmac stages or sections within the "gravel loops".

However, there is something cool about driving on tarmac with gravel setup/tyres. Amarante and Terra Alta are great stages, and there are many historical examples as well (Chiusdino, Meteora)

Pretty much till tanak screwed up.

I'm not sure sordo can go much faster, but he can try.
