On the bright side there was Evans stage wins and Latvala’s excellent times (fingers crossed for a podium!).
Btw, I’m amazed with the forum idiot reaction to Toyota’s fine performance: it takes some nerve to still call Makinen’s team the finish village idiots. What a moron!
On a series of photo's on french forum rallye-forum you can clearly see that it is the cocrete that is the cause of the tire going of the rim and breaking the suspension.
The suspension doesn't look too badly damaged, perhaps he could only change the tyre and make it to the service?!?Quote:

look at 0:55 or 1:02. its a rear wheel, it's supposed to be rock solid in place. he snapped the suspension arm.Quote:

Redbull coverage is spot on.
Evans looks very at home in the fiesta, now he's away from the snow.

We are on the top three after 13 special stages! Four more to go tomorrow. Let's enjoy this sunny rally day once more.

So, forecast says that Ss14 and 16 will be wet and light or moderate rain can be expected. Tempetrature between +2..+4
SS15 and Ss16 should be so that rain until elevation 1100 meters and after that there should be mostly snow. Looks like 2-3 cm by first pass and 3-4 cm for the second pass. Rain/snow should start around 5 AM, arriving from the south. temeparture at the bottom of the mountain is +2..+3 and up there should be a few degrees minus. So, who wants to win powerstage, must take some risks. I assume that Evans tyres are not working in this conditions, Meeke is out, so, Powerstage will be 1. Neuville, 2. Ogier, 3. Latvala, 4.Tänak, 5. Hänninen
;)
Yes! I love me some snow and ice. Honestly, I feel this Monte Carlo rally has been one of the most interesting and exciting events in recent years, up there with Argentina last year.Quote:

there is nothing awesome in a car going 40kph on ice where sliding a bit wide and ruin everything is a matter of luck not skill...Quote:

There were also a few fast sections on the video, I just thought it was interesting to see some slower snowy sections.Quote:

What is that rod that Neuville hit?
Citroen and Toyota never managed higher than 3rd

its a rod that they use to measure the height of snowQuote:

The damage was done by the small beton barrier on the ground (small bridge).
The rod was there to mark it.

The village team of Toyota are doing better than the legendary Citroen. Sick dogs M-Sport with Wilson just trying to make cash seem to be doing OK too ;)
Best looking serious rally car, I think. IMHO the RGT cars are miles ahead for looks (but miles behind for rallying, still it's nice to mix in 3 or 4).Quote:

How silly, not a very Monte-like mistake since it was on a dry stage and he was on slicks. Might as well happen in Corsica.Quote:

He hits a bank at 4:40, maybe he meant that one. If Meeke had done the same thing there probably would have been a big rock in the snow.Quote:
