First timed SD stage of the season with new cars.. Loeb and Ford fastest! Good PR! (Just what M-Sport needs)
Good start for car no 8 also..
And no service in the middle of stages doesn't help either.. oh
It will be while now we see second runs. Everybody is in remote service.
Katsuta is at monte service park according to maps
So, surprisingly or not, Loeb is on top, have to say, the cars look great, only wish we had 1 more manufacturer and it would be perfect.
Ogier, Neuville, Breen and Evans heading to the second run
OOps! Coolant leak or overheating? Hydraulic problem? No reverse gear?Quote:

E: or not, the maps is crazy at the moment
Won't WRC2 participate in the SD?
Nope, it's only for rally1 carsQuote:

Neuvill with the exact same time
It would not be good publicity if they all beat those hybrid bricks on their first runQuote:

Seems like WRC- has finished working for today.
Tänak was on his way to second run, now made a turn and is back to remote service way
Strange... hopefully this problem is something that can be fixed for tomorrow. Would be really sad to start the year with some issue and no points.
GPS is really all over. Hopefully it gets better for the evening :rolleyes:
ok i wont trust the live maps anymore, its flying the drivers all over the place, one moment they are on the stage, they next moment it puts them back to service and etc
now its showing Ott moving to the stage again

Great first pass from Katsuta, faster than Breen or Rovanperä, and only 0.6 slower than Evans's first pass
Tänak also slow on second pass...
With minimal testing and after two weeks in the desert.. extraordinary.Quote:

Shakedown is shakedown. Can't read much into it in terms of who could win/ who could fight for podiums etc.
However it's nice to see all 3 teams with a driver(s) on the 'pace' .
This rally could be an absolute minefield with battery issues. Which is pot luck. Sometimes mechanical issues are down to stress a driver puts on components etc, but Tanak and Katsuta here are just the unlucky ones in shakedown so far.
... hands are still warm :)Quote:

i guess we will hear that later in during the interviewsQuote:

In racing at least they usually try to avoid auxiliary belts on the engines, don't really know whats the usual stratigie in rallying but maybe the power steering pump is powered remotly by electricity.Quote:

Gus second run is kind of respectable, given his first was ruined?
