"The Right way" is rather subjective if it didn't match the roadbook as claimed by Ogier.Quote:

Additionally what we do know is that they were moved by marshalls after Suninen. Therefore Evans, Tidemand and Breen had a much straighter and wider line than all those before, and it also shows in the times as they also beat Tanak and Meeke.
Just make no chicanes and everything's good.
I was in Dyfnant 2 this evening and it was noticeably darker for Breen than Tanak....darkness came quickly.
Was also in Elsi first thing this morning, can’t say I noticed much difference in lightness, was basically full light by time they got to us.
Tanak was clearly pushing in Dyfnant, bit lucky past us as he hit the inside bank on a quick left hander...
Rules say organisers can add barriers or other objects of hinderence if they feel correct route wasn't followed in recce. But I'm also certain this would of been addressed at drivers briefing if that was the caseQuote:

Expect Kalle to overhaul him pretty quickly tomorrow though.
And what wrong with stage-end chicane according to guideline? Not marked by arrows?Quote:
