Why would they use their winter tyres tonight, I think they will need them more for tomorrow and Saturday . I am also surprised by that decision from them.Quote:

Took a look at the hankook-recce page - that is a really nice surprise, if to not say, hankook does not provide only tires, but a nice overview of many things that would be responsibility of the promoter.
In case someone is looking for the link from (many pages ago) like I just did, the helpful link here:

Bookmarked.
To say the truth, Pirelli was doing it in similar way, but it was only for competitors, not for public...Quote:

Fourmaux fastest in split 1...
Probably drunk assholes who don't even care about the sport. On event like that they are always present.Quote:

Someone will surely bin it towards the end... So difficult..
What is wrong with Kalle
surface and starting position, but this time probably something moreQuote:

Remember 2022 when he had almost one minute delay after first day...
And at the end because it's Monte, he will win the event and everyone including me will be blown away
what is wrong with Evans?? with his Starting Position, under this conditions, he should be much faster....
And then he was close to Ogier on Saturday and won the Powerstage.Quote:

I wouldn't be worried if I were Tanak or Kalle. Rally is long and tricky so anything can happen, and they'll excel in other rounds. The smart thing is to get points when you're not comfortable.
It doesn't seem to have made a difference.Quote:

Give Josh time. It is first start with this car, first experience with Rally1...Quote:

I McErlean will stay on road, he will progress.Quote:

To be slower in Rally1 car than others in Rally2 is not a boost for your ego, but his job is to ignore this fact at the moment.
He did not have any results to boost expectations of him to be a top 5 rally1 driver out of the blue. I think everything is logical at the moment.
Let's see guys, SS3 coming up!!
But M-Sport seems, are also the only one who can do impossible and turn absolute wreckage into fully running racing machine again in a matter of hours. Remember TiTanak and last year Munster with his slow speed total crash (that car look more like an old model Puma than new SUV they are running).Quote:
