But they could still have got the cars running in daylight. The WRC cars were there by 5pm and didnt run for another 2 hours. Recce could have been done previously and all the media stuff at the SP and Lpool start.Quote:

On WRC Live it was hard to see the crowds but the weather looked like a proper Rally GB weather! Maybe the Promoter will now realize that fans don’t bother about the heavy rain and extreme conditions are a distinctive sign of this event. Fingers crossed for having again GB as WRC season epic finale.

#Tyre info - Day 1 morning
Meeke/Neuville: 1 MICHELIN LTX Force M6 +4S6
Tanak/Ogier/Lappi/Suninen/Evans: 5M6
Latvala: 4M6 +1S6
Breen/Mikkelsen/Tidemand: 5S6
That's weirdly listed. Basically Meeke, Neuville, Breen, Mikkelsen and Tidemand are on softs, the rest on mediums.Quote:

Ott said Mediums and Softs have pretty much same performance.
Ogier 0.6 faster in spl1
Ogier was 5th 40s behind after the wet friday last year. So not sure that is a good metric.Quote:

Last year he span and lost two gears in Penmachno, and had to do the slow Slate Mountain with no two first gearsQuote:

Some trouble with the plane = they fancied an extra bacon sarnie in this weather?
Rumour of JML being late to TC2.
You know, it was already there for a while...Quote:

Tänak was slower in the first half, compared to everyone.Quote:

Evans fast in the beginning...
Interesting contrast between Neuville and Mikkelsen. One likes the car but is slow, one is faster but uncomfortable.
Evans still fastest in spl2
Tidemand already 17s down on first split
Breen with a good first split
Catastrophic. Disaster. Must be some mistake. But still...Quote:
