Ogier faster 10sec from 1st pass
Strange, it looks like the suspension just collapsed itself on the jump. Maybe he hit something before.Quote:

I know, but didn't S2000 have quite a long gearbox too? I'm not saying it is all down to the top speed but this is certainly the R5's most convincing performance so far.Quote:

no serious competition from rrc /s2000 cars.Even Nasser would be slower at these kinds of roads against Lappi Kruuda TidemandQuote:

Fiesta R5 has top speed little bellow 190 with long gearbox. For RRC cars it's possible to use whole WRC gear range. If they are all with long gearboxes they have no big differences between themselves.Quote:

interesting tyre choice for Tänak.
SS6: TANAKQuote:

Great time Kubica! On the second loop (with minumum differences on road-surface), with everybody maximum attack to be faster than anybody except Ogier is really good on maybe the fastest rally of the season. That shows really something that you can drive with the best outthere. I know some people here on the forum are blind about his performances and will always be negative but for me he's definitly his place worth in the WRC.
And so far another good performances by Paddon (compare to Neuville and Sordo) and offcorse Tanak, he's for sure the faster driver than Evans who looks to me is standing a bit still in his progression.
Kubi is on Pirellis,we have to think it.

Sounds like a lot of tyres are destroyed already... could be the high temperatures adding to the problem...
Evans lost a chunk of time. What happened? "We went off. No grip whatsoever and I couldn't stop. Not good."
Meeke- 'Wrong choice. I'm haemorrhaging time all the way through, it's hard.'
Neuville - 'I drove very, very smooth cause of the tyres. I felt like I had no tyre left & tried to manage.'
Tanak closest to Ogier at 1st split ... but losing more now...
Paddon moving up with good tyre management.
... and 6th on the 2nd split...
Paddon seems had the right choice (4 hards).
Tanak missing a split
Tanak's tyres finished and down to 3rd O/A ... :(
no brakes for Tänak, every stage he has had a problem and in the end of the day its still VW 1-2-3.
Oh well... Time to stop watching and starting to get drunk then...
Somehow my colleagues probably expected that when they planned a garden party for tomorrow :-)Quote:

Lucky to escape an off-road moment. "We went off into a field. Completely no grip. The left rear was letting go everywhere..."
Tänak in estonian: "we will fight back tomorrow, had brake issues all day, got worse and worse with every stage"
EnjoyQuote:
