Sordo reported to be stopped for a while.
Lost just 10s, prbly stall or spin
Meeke had no 3rd gear for 2/3 of the stage. Unlucky.
Lappi stopped
Stop the stage!!!!
Latvala also hit a bank and spun.
Why?:-oQuote:

Tänak is very lucky it just happened in the end.
Very good day overall from the TOP3 again like always, Ogier has been very quiet but is still second in the overall again and just 11 secs from the lead.
Meeke was good in the morning but faded away in the afternoon.
the others, well...
Transfer to Citroën for Lappi is not going well. Slow pace and crashes.

Also Sordo said it was a place where someone could easily crash into the car.
Is it just red flag from some section? Cause Mikkelsen was still at speed between spilt 3 and 4 long after Latvala slowed.
The notional times will be interesting.
jari was arguing with codriver.
SUninen just finished flat out, lol
what a mess
Mikkelsen at full pelt still.
So who has the red flag? :)
It was a sick dog with red flag
Quite competitive event for WRC2 Pro, three entries and crews separated by only 14 minutes after seven stages.Quote:

I didn't catch that. They were just chatting about slowing down due to the (maybe imaginary) red flag.Quote:

Guerra also stopped for a few minutes.
Becs confirmed that Ferm is out of the car.
But anyways I miss Andrew Coley in the commentator booth. Getting tired of Becs.

In the end for Latvala it's only a questions whether he will be ahead of behind Suninen or not. He will get that timeloss from the spin anyway and that drops him behind Evans.
What an exciting rallyseason sofar. But man, what a horrible season sofar to ALL finnish drivers.
Lappi been the dissapointment of the season sofar. Seems like a huge mistake to leave toyota.
Who knows how it will turn out in the longer run. So far it does remind me a lot about P. Solberg moving from Ford to Subaru.Quote:

That would be great mknight. Lets hope for the best. He is my favourite of the finnish drivers.
Before this season I was rather sure that next year there would be four drivers! Not anymore the same feeling, but at least Lappi had a two year contract and surely Suninen is there with the help of Jouhki. Rovanperä is not yet ready and Latvala might drive his last season.Quote:

seems a hard crash for Lappi...
@CitroenRacing
LIVE INFO �� In SS8 #C3WRC n•4 went off the road. @EsapekkaLappi & Janne Ferm are OK. They will go to the hospital for a medical check once back at the Service Park.
Maybe in panic the marshal was waving the red flag as a warning, not to stop the stage ?
