nice drive from Evans considering road position to Ogier. He lost to him 15,9 sec at 95,25 kms
news flash ! Ogier complained about the running order !
Whiny Seb is back. Why didn't he retire the last event in order to get a better road position here if it's that important?
Did Ogier expect a running order change at midday like previously ?
This time I understand him. In Estonia they changed the starting order for the afternoon loop on friday, this time not, why?Quote:

because of little total kms if i remember rightQuote:

Neuville passed Ogier.
but with a a very long first day with 148.46kmQuote:

Rally Estonia Leg 1 was 148km, whole rally 2 days
Sardegna Leg 1 is 95km, whole rally 3 days..
Very good day by Suninen. Second place behind a guy with the best road position (Sordo) is a top job.
Good point, with 75% of the stages on single day it stands to reason.Quote:

I'm sure a lot more twists and turns to come
I think Ogier and Evans both will take Teemu. Tänak probably is too far away and with bad road position to spice it up more.Quote:

From 9 points down to 9 points ahead
Virtual manufacturer #WRC points if rally was to finish after SS6
Hyundai 165 + 25 + 15 = 205
Toyota 174 + 12 + 10 = 196
Dose anybody know why Greensmith can get a full seat since so many talented drivers have no car to drive. Did he bring huge sponsor for the M sport
I was thinking about that, would Hyundai do that as it would go against Tanak who is also the fight? Difficult choice for Adamo.Quote:

Ciamin with 5th time overall at ss 6
Only 3 cars left in J-WRC that hasn't retired for the day. Must be very rough for the Rally4-cars.
Estonia was driven in a shorter format, forest stages only on Saturday and Sunday. There's even an article on this in the sporting regulations.Quote:

Rovanperä announced it was steering issue on SS5/6
interesting, it seems the last two stages suited Hyundai more?
actually 3 last stages today were Hyundai 1-2. ok road position has a big say here too, especially in the case of Sordo but Ott started from third and set also very good times on last two stages and on SS6 it was even Hyundai 1-2-3.
another rally where Neuville has a slow start,and ups his performance later on stages.
This thing has cost him a lot
Ott had issues all morning...Quote:

anyway new day tomorrow, pace wise Loubet is catchable for Tänak but thats it basically.
Will be interesting to see how long Suninen can hold on to his pace and yet AGAIN we have tasty fight between Ogier and Neuville.
Esapekka Lappi Rally
@EsapekkaLappi
Unfortunately we won’t be back out again tomorrow.
Our pace was really promising so it’s really disappointing that things had to end the way they did. It was all over pretty quickly to be honest: steam from the bonnet and there was no water left in the engine. Thats all folks!
Onboards from this morning are on WRC+. The video of Suninen from SS1 is just stunning!
