Dont think he is doing anything for Neuville. Only helping Hyunday for manufacturers really.Quote:

What is gap between wrc and nationals?
I should have made the Vana Tallin deal this year instead of last year, damn. :DQuote:

and now we are Spanish?
Stage 1 Ogier clearly more aggressive with very bold lines. Tänak very steady, Neuville slided off the line etc.
I must say Ogier was very spectacular with the best driving line, never slid off.

Budar unfortunately just said they didnt fix the powersteering issue
Good first two stages for the early runners like Tanak/Neuville/ Meeke. Only Sordo on same pace, but gaps are still small and this next stage is where the real gaps can be made.
delay
trying to think out, how to cancel the stage?
Ogier will be laughing if this is cancelled
Better the devil you know.Quote:

40 sek is not possible to make up on Tänak unless he too runs into problems.Quote:

I would say C3 is the most reliable car. Fiesta for sure is not. Remember what happened to Suninen in Germany? Evans in Portugal? Evans in Wales 2018? Bouffier in Corsica 2018? Evans in Mexico 2017? Tänak in Monte and Sweden 2017?Quote:

Indeed C3 has been clearly the most reliable car of the 4, definitely since mid 2017 or so.Quote:

Reliable yeah..., but it's still a dog of a car though. A dog that is contributing in dethroning a 6 straight champion - not even the great Ogier can drag it to a title.Quote:

Well clearly we were talking about reliability. Interestingly enough, Ogier never(?) had technical problems with the Fiesta. Only something small hydraulic stuff in Corsica 2017Quote:

Yes, his only hopes are others' issues and power stage points.Quote:

I said it has been a 'problem car' not an unreliable one.Quote:

Yeah, first time we see the later starters being faster than the leading trio.Quote:
