Quite funny, but with the crazy weather Jos Verstappen was 10th fastest on that stage!
Was wondering the same. I guess it depends how much dirt there is on the roadQuote:

To me it's the same as always. Just the heli cannot always fly if the weather is bad.Quote:

Seems more stage-side cameras here and they're not the TV stages.Quote:

Possibly that is the maximum speed pushed out of these i20s..
Last three stages Tänak and Neuville
0.1, 0.2 and 0.0 time differences :D
Useless WRC+ stage end asking Neuville about the weather when we want to know if his car set-up feels any better after service.
When are they not useless?Quote:

I don't know what they were doing, but for sure it was not good."

At least Rally Finland had the same. I remember from Rally Finland, there was cameras on SS2 Laukaa at the fast crossing of tarmac road and then the "lossinmutka" uphill right, and at the same time three cameras on SS3 Lankamaa on the farm into the beginning of the esker section. And now we've had three cameras on two stages as well?Quote:

Superb time.
Evans also taking chunks of time back from Tänak at the end
From listening to Neuville there, and seeing Tanaks moment, Hyundai still a bit unpredictable in the rear of the car.
Good to see they have the pace though
Neuville tells hes happier this afternoon with the car.
Breen 1st split? Just a glitch?
EDIT: Ah, yes, it's now been corrected.
Evans took 2.7 out of Tänak with second half and Thierry 5 seconds
Drinking a shot every time a driver says 'to be honest' would be a nice drinking game, wouldn't it? :D
Breen's just nowhere near. Confidence looks totally shot.
Good thing he has a 2 year contract, his season reminds me of his 2018 season with the only difference being he has a podium in Monte Carlo.Quote:

Why they are completely ignoring Gryazin?

What a split by Thierry again
Seems he has found the sweet spot now
Tänak loosing a lot of time on fast sections and the bad news him is that the next stage is the fastest
Neuville leads !
How are they so wrong with weather prediction..?
