Kalle's comment seemed a bit cheeky bs.. (like meant to be towards ,,slow'' hyundai story)..
,,totally on the limit, can't do more..''

,,totally on the limit, can't do more..''
why? he's first on the road and gaining on later drivers...it has to be pushing...Quote:

Hairy moments for Loubet.
yr.no is forecasting some rain for tomorrow morning loop from Rapsula onwards.
So dissapointed on M-sport. They had a great start of the season, now seems they are just recycling old parts and all cars fail at some point.
I see lots of rain, cold front moving in. Not looking good for Ott.Quote:

Besides imho the fact that he needs to lead the team for the first time in his career amounts a lot of pressure, and the overall line-up at M-Sport can't help. He needs someone to challenge him, to make him strive for better results, and atm only Loeb is there but he's on a pensioner's slot so...I honestly hope M-Sport will manage to sign a top driver for next season whilst their car is still (relatively) competitive.Quote:

Most interesting is Tanak since he definitely had time to see Rovanpera on Allive.
Finishing is everything for M-Sport, there's no title fight for anybody. If his team mates can't finish that's not his problem so that's why I don't agree with the team-leader label.Quote:

Craig is hardly struggling whilst being under the biggest pressure to bring it home. If he finishes on +0.3s/k it'll be his second best result of the season after Sardinia so at these speeds I wouldn't be surprised if he's asked to curb his enthusiasm tbh. Still another day tomorrow, long way to go and all that.
Wrong already. We are at Paijala and yr.no showed that it should start rain here at 3 am and basically non stop till the evening. It’s bone dryQuote:

Breen is doing ok here, before the hit it was pretty much exactly same as last year in a Hyundai. Not a championship or even rally-winning speed though. (*wink to Breen WDC predictions)
3AM? I'm talking about precipitation during rally. There will be huge downpours today on stages. Look how how yesterday was and todays Will be a lot colder. Perfect conditions for thunderstorms. If you wont believe me, believe bluuford.Quote:

Unlucky Tänak again.. raining heavier
E: did a good stage tho, only 4.3 down on Evans
Tänak: ,,the conditions are actually not that bad, but.. this thing is a nightmare to drive!''
Such an awesome stage!
Of course it started to rain heavier exactly before Ott at our place
But the problem is the car, wil lose the leads for sure today if it doesnt t get better
Yeah, that’s what I want to say, those 10 seconds are lost, no point in fighting to get them back, just need to continue at his pace.Quote:

Breen has hit something and broken rear of the car, retires.
Breen had a massive hit to the right side and rally over
Ott & Esapekka better watch out, Kalle coming in fast.
Nightmare year for Ford.
NO, just the drivers...Quote:

Breen’s jump & hit.
You mean M-Sport will be left only with slow pay drivers?Quote:
