No, the bank he mentioned was on ss13 after Neuville's crash, there was a black ice on left corner, the car slid and bumped a little on a bank. On this video there is nothing like that, just small excursion on a small ditch I believe.Quote:

For once i have to slightly agree, it's a bit strange when you could be faster with a standard STI or EVO on softer stock studded tyres.Quote:

I meant the mistake Francis44 mentioned, not the one Ogier mentioned. Was a bit ambiguous.Quote:

Tänak and Ogier seem to get along very good, so far :p
thoughts to end of Saturday:
Impressive debut for Toyota. All of those doom seekers proved wrong.
Monte Carlo is indeed different to all the other events, but first time out of the box is very very good.
Great results so far for Ford also. Ogier and Tanak going well.
Hyundai obviously have the pace, and may well be the best car.
Citroen: not as good as expected.
Neuville not as good mentally as the World Champion, making little mistakes when there was no need to push given the cushion he had.
Ogier is the world champion. New car, new team, and doing well.
Still another day to go.
Remembering that Monte Carlo is a very different event.
Maybe what Finnish village teams can do is big surprise for Greek village idiot living in England in basement..Quote:

So much for ex-spurts.
Jan,

an ex is something that was, and a spert is a drip under pressure
I don't think his spelling was an unintentional mistake!Quote:

Four super softs and two winters for everybody. At the moment weather expected to be stable until last stage.

that car glitching all way through this rally.
Intercom problems, self-downshifting and now cut half of engine :(
Jan saying that he enjoying stages today, cuz it might be last wrc 2 rally for him this year. So Skoda pick Mikkelsen for all year with Tidemand alongside?
Not even that big problems last year for Ostberg.Quote:
