no it doesnt deactivated

No it's an irreversible polymeric reaction - the tyre is full of the sponge afterwards

Neuville
For sure we are disappointed to lose that much time in SS13 on @ElfynEvans but we have to be fair, he did a stunning job out there and we couldn't resist. Obviously we lost a lot of time in the bumpy section. It's not over yet & we will count the points at the end of the rally. https://t.co/wdstcrwMu1

If I remember correctly, it's activated when air pressure drops. Basically it was sort of solid foam donut which normal tyre pressure kept in check and once that was gone, it expanded to fill in and keep the rubber in shape.

The king of the powerstage

I wonder if Evans will push?

looks like Meeke overheated tyres till the end
Big understeer

That time will take some beating.

Big understeer at the end there, will have cost a little bit.

"Jari's not my target" lol

bad news for Sordo. Huyndai not going well even here. /Looking into a Loeb/
If I was Suninen - I'll try to push and get Dani
