Those softs for Ogier don't look like a wrong choice at all.

nope, just a street stage left now and he can get new boots, 4x champion
I think Hayden probably paid special attention to Nambucca stage in his preparations for this rally. Now it's just regular fast driving.Quote:

I think You're right. Nothing to do with the tyres.Quote:

Valla16, 14.84km. A flowing 5.9km section through trees has been introduced at the start of Valla. After turning onto familiar territory, the shire roads become wide and open as they cross farmland, crossing several old wooden bridges. An artificial jump near the finish has been removed this year with a new 800 metre section providing the climax to the stage.
SAT 10:06 - SS13: LATVALA
A great fastest time from Jari-Matti - who is buzzing with confidence. "That was my comeback. I have been lost for six months but this stage gave me back what I wanted for a long time. I'm being brave, I'm not afraid of anything. No left-foot braking - just flat out." Wow.
Ahaha classic latvala, bet he crashes before the end of the rally.
lol at this Latvala story, how many times i have heard it
wtf? lol
Sat 10:06 - SS13: Latvala
A great fastest time from Jari-Matti. He is 7.8sec quicker than Ogier and buzzing with confidence. "That was my comeback. I have been lost for six months but this stage gave me back what I have wanted for a long time. I'm being brave, I'm not afraid of anything. No left-foot braking - just flat out." Wow.
yeah, pretty patheticQuote:

Same here, work needs to be done, but I have to sleep a bit also :)
Nice afternoon here following the rally whilst stewarding a local motorsport event.
Temperature rise now up to 28 C deg, so Ott's Dmack could struggle more, especially on Nambucca stage.
After 1st day I hope that he can fight for a stage wins, but seems not today.
he will struggle a lot in the afternoon stages. no stage wins from this rally for sure...really stupid mistakes yesterday from him with that spin and police, without them he would be 4th
but good first split from Ott, just +0.4 behind Latvala
damn Tänak, why are you pushing and not listening these forum guys here :D
he should have listened, +6 in second split, Paddon struggling too
and Sordo too drops time
Paddon took back in the end, just 7 secs slower than Ogier, he was 11 secs in 4th split
Latvala's tyres totally gone in the end of nambucca
Camilli quicker than Ostberg
Camilli finally showing some progress, i was getting worried in the middle of the season but seems to have got back on track in last rallies.
in the morning Tänak lost 14 seconds, now 40 seconds...
Mikkelsen having problems with brakes and the gap is just 2.8 secs
Mikkelsen on side of road, hammer in hand - clutch and brake issues!
These small spectator stages are far too many in this rally. honestly the itinery is crap, daily stage distance is way too short.
Good morning!
Pretty exciting stuff... the fight for vice-champion is still on.
With these positions the powrstage could decide:
TN 143 + 12 = 155
AM 129 + 25 = 154
HP 126 + 15 = 141
Powerstage championship decider?
Hayden's pretty far from it now thoughQuote:

What a drive in the afternoon for Ogier, even without Andreas' problems he would be pretty close.
Paddon could give his position to Neuville to give Neuville 2nd in the championship. I don't know if it will happen though.Quote:
