Great video from Jänner Rallye: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WyYUHG_Hvvw

Big discussion in German forum about Simon Wagner´s not mounting gravel suspension on snowy day two of Jänner Rallye, so he couldn´t use the small studded 15 inch tyres and therefore lost the lead and finally the rally. In an interview he said the change would have taken too long in late service (60 minutes), later he said his team Eurosol didn´t had the necessary parts. Both sounds implausible, because he had just won Waldviertel Rallye in November, which is mostly gravel. Now there is the word going that he didn´t include the small studded tyres in his pre-event tyre choice of 18 tyres, which each driver had to name before the rally. Each possibility sounds mysterious, because he is one of the top drivers of Austria and Jänner Rallye even is his home rally, he´s living in the rally area.

Portuguese Manuel Castro will drive a Skoda Fabia R5 EVO in Portuguese Rally Champ after selling one of his Hyundai I20 R5.
