Great to see all those images, unfortunately no entry for me - as it transpired what the organisers told me about the service park being free to enter today, was a lie. What was free to enter was the technical inspection of the cars below the WRC category from 3pm onwards. Ah well, you live and learn...
I entered by 16pm without credential :)
Lucky you
Ostberg's car in preparation (with DMack sticker just visible).

Can somebody tell me why I always frantically await the shakedown times eventhough deep down I know they are not really anything to go by?
Yeah, same here! :D If you look at Argentina shakedown results, Evans was the slowest works WRC and Latvala was the quickest. And in Sweden, Ψstberg had the quickest Shakedown time whereas Latvala was slower than Lefevbre in a DS3. So maybe we should see who's the slowest on shakedown and bet on that guy?Quote:

HELP request.
Two Kiwi rally fans made a last minute decision to fly from NZ to Portugal to support Hayden Paddon & Seb Marshall. They have made it to Porto but all organised tour groups are full with no cancellations. They are struggling to get out to stages. If anyone knows of 2 spare seats in a car, truck or van they would love to get in contact. They are very happy to share fuel and vehicle costs. Please email me KiwiWRCfan@vodafone.co.nz if you can assist them
Live stream from the shakedown: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7k0s-bEZ-o
Shakedown love stream with awesome quality:

Incredibly tight times at the moment.
Pontus some problems during SD, drives slowly.
Anybody knows if Latvala was tactical on his second pass - or if prob?
Latvala on SD stage again now. In 3 minutes we will knowQuote:

And now he's third.Quote:

Meeke did finally a fifth round and got up to fourth place. Now there's four different car makes in the top four, all one tenth of a second from the next. Also all works drivers are within 2,6 seconds. Very interesting rally coming up.
So was Camilli. Tidemand and Suninen came awfully close too.Quote:
