At the lunchtime interview, Seb Loeb was asked to compare this Safari with those of old. He replied that it was as rough as before, maybe rougher and he didn't recall the fesh-fesh being so bad in the past. Lastly he said 'these car are too low!'Quote:

I prefer to have variability in the events. To have fast gravel, to have slow gravel, to have rough gravel. Same with tarmac or snow and ice. I like when drivers (and also cars) needs to adapt to various conditions.Quote:

Yes, really smart idea.. hopefully it doesn't break any rules, like open spare parts or smthQuote:

First and foremost, it's a global, all-rounder championship of rallies using roads from all around the world. Not a specialist rallysprint championship that only uses certain configurations of roads. That's my opinion, not necessarily where it's going, but it's nice to see folk admitting they want this sprint championship, which in my opinion, could exist as a complementary championship(s).Quote:

Wow M sport
Shouldn't break any rules though I am not sure what you mean by open spare parts? Loose, not tied down? Air filter is easily deformed and difficult to secure without damaging it.Quote:

Why didnt they show Breen onboard when he stopped to show if a puncture as I presume ?
Disaster for Msport
Finally we see Breen OB.
Taka in trouble now
Breen hit like gazillion of stones
Got stuck in Breens dust presumably.Quote:

What is going on here?
He was on a straight. It looks like suspension or something broke and veered him into the rocks lining the stageQuote:
