Looks like Camilli was the first car to stop.

Looks like Camilli was the first car to stop.
We have to wait for the footage, but maybe Tanak was surprised by some kind of warning or even a request by Paddon for a fire extinguisher.
Is the 'white' burning, magnesium? Hot, hot, hot! Bad timesQuote:

What's happening with the times - will they be corrected at the end of the day ?
And now with our dear sporting stewards we can look forward to the notional times for other crews. I'm quite sure they'll come again with some bullshit stuff like always.
Latvala over a minute behind.. Im not sure if he can blame it on bad luck anymore..
Powersteering problems...Quote:

@krismeeke is too fast. I had to trigger fast to get just half of him #RallydePortugal

Hard decision for the organisers now... what time do they allocate to meeke ?
No more times coming through for SS6? Very slow.
If Citroën deliver a good C3 next year (which im sure they will given their track record), Meeke can really compete imo

Previous stage was stopped, so there are some gaps...Quote:

Paddons crash
If they do that means that VW had a nice chat with the organisers... maybe we should check their pockets also.Quote:

the problem is Meeke has not started the stage at all.... so they do not have an indication but i would allocate him time according to the first pass.Quote:

Looks like he was too fast into the S-bend, hitting the bank on the outside which flung him across the road. I'd say we'll wait for the onboard but it might not be available.Quote:

Meeke should come out of it okay hopefully. They can't give him the time of the guy who came through and was slowed by the accident(s). Either way they need to get it sorted before the TV stages.Quote:

This is very very difficult situations for organizers.
Sporting point of view: stop the stage and postponned start of the other stages and re arrange remaining of the day.
But who would like that solution?
Hopefully just a load of electronic BS....Quote:

"Really rough. It was much worse to be in front this afternoon. Still, I'm happy to be here because it's been a tough afternoon"
Kopecký slow in in SS6 after a very fast opening split. Maybe puncture?
Punctures seem to be frequent, both Neuville and Sorgo got one on this stage.
