Did Suninen have a pre-event test to get used to the car?

Yes he did. And he is a Pro so getting used is not a problem. I think it´s a brand new car and man should not expect too much...

If Solberg is with national Pirellis he will be hard to beat in estonia. Everybody drives with Pirelli there since its quite a lot faster tyre.

At these times, when you aren`t competitive from the first outing, you are nothing, especially with a PRO behind the wheel. Look at VW`s first outing, they have several big issues, yes, but they have been winning.

That said, it`s still early stages, lets see tomorrow.

Not a good start for the M-Sport cars... Markko Martin is the top Ford ! ;)

Oliver Solberg

The jumps here at @RallyEstonia are the biggest I've ever done!! Crazy, sometimes feel like you're never going to land !!

Gryazin said he wasn't pushing on SS2 because he doesn't have any spare tyres..

how about wrc+? it worth to pay for this promo event?

well, it´s a bonus, anyway... No incar, I think...

So Oliver on Pirellis and Gryazin Michelins then?

I wake-up only now and don't know pay now for wrc+ or wait till Finland

I would say It is worth a watch if you have an active subscription but I would not renew just for this.
There is no live in car cameras, no live maps/splits and not all stages are broadcast. Only 3 more stages will be broadcast (+ the one live right now)

Interesting that Breen says the wiper switch is in different place in his I20 than in the other I20 (the one Mikkelsen drives today and Breen drove last week)

Was it a Nose end first landing? :p

Seems Mikkelsen got something here with car. Looks better handling in rear. No big slides any more. Just my thoughts.

Yes, that's correct.

first (and last?) stage win for non-Tanak )) Andreas fastest

Apart from the obvious testing unknowns I think we see a repeat of what has been normal on most gravel rallies this year.

In first pass with smooth road Toyota's are much faster, followed by Fiestas, then on second pass with more rutted road (and more mechanical grip) it's much closer. Lappi even mentioned this already.

Well...the again, SS3 showed otherwise.

Otherwise to what? Compared to first pass everyone was much closer to Tanak, just as I wrote. And it was there that Lappi made the mentioned comment.

Gryazin jump & off causing puncture

Is solbergs tyres (national pirelli) much faster than suninens (wrc Michelin) ?

ss 5 Mikkelsen Andreas - Jæger Anders
"Tänak's time.. impossible."

Groos stopped after a hard landing

And Gorban now on solid 2nd place at Latvia and Estonia championship. Since Oliver - untouchable it could be already driving to finish

Puncture for Breen

Wow. I have never seen a car going so fast in my life where I am.

Unbelievable, very very fast right hander. Tänak and Breen were awesome. Mikkelsen not so much

flagBreen Craig - Nagle Paul

"Very fast stage - you could turn the car on at the start, push the throttle down and then just turn it off at the finish."

Evans been 2nd on 4/6 stages.

Super time by Gryazin on SS5.
