’17 is quickly arriving but spectators (and photo press members) control isn’t improving like it should be. Hope FIA will get serious on this!Quote:

Can anyone help?
They start Day 1 and Day two according to championship points order. On Day 3 top 15 start in reverse according to their place after day 2.Quote:

Kevin Abbring:
P1 on Shakedown WRC2 @WalesRallyGB. Unexpected on our first outing on gravel with new iNGi20R5 Can't say I didn't enjoy that !
SD times mean nothing directly but they show a way how things are going. Sordo for example... never be fast there and not fast on SD.
But very and very good time for Abbring and i20R5 at gravel, even when a title race are in progress.
In wrc2:
Suninen need at least P2 to pass Evans
If Suninen 2nd - Lappi must win here and be at least 2nd in Australia, if Suninen win here - not matter what Lappi do - Suninen wins a championship
Kopecky must win all... and GB and Australia to pass Suninen.
So three title contenders must win here, and so quick SD time for Abbring make work for championship horses more difficult.
Will be exciting:)

Interesting to see Mikkelsen taking 2 spares. Curious to see how much he will loose in the first loop and what he can gain back with fresher tyres in the second loop!Quote:
