Suninen retired....again
It was before a end of stage interview with Mikkelsen yesterday that we were given the engine sound at idle. I heard a strange sound from the engine, and reacted by playing it once more. Sounded like a fanblade that barely hits something.Quote:

Very strange that he gets engine failiure in two rallies in a row on a Fabia!
They should pause Mikkelsen's season until the new car is available (with totally different engine) Presumably that has been testing solely with the new fuel.Quote:

Saturday afternoon and most of fans are having barbeques...
However Evans has put a rear wheel to a different angle... and stopped.
So it is Rovanpera alone now...

But he sounds upbeat: "We had fun during the morning, we set superb times. We were comfortable, we hadn't had any fears. You know, with the gap, there wasn't much to do. We still hope. For the manufacturers, Tanak and Sordo were ahead of us so we weren't of much use. Performance is present at Hyundai. It was already there in Portugal and Croatia, we would have won hands down without this concern. There are points to improve to be better equipped during the next rallies". The rally was already lost. We kept the motivation to fight for the team, for the mechanics because they were affected as much as us after the problem on Friday. We wanted to continue fighting with the hope of grabbing two or more three positions by attacking very hard. We were a little over the limit. I was forced to wait races on the last rallies. I wanted to attack, to have fun. also sometimes go for the limit."
This is how I will remember Neuville, always on the attack and so far winning 15 WRC rallies.
Scores for his own team, not Toyota works team.Quote:

I do not know if other National TV channels are doing this kind of thing to support WRC
Finnish YLE is showing PowerStages and also some other stages.Quote:

Bummer.... just as he was re-building his confidence.
AGAIN WTF are they doing, plenty of space to pass
Surely there is enough room to squeeze past Fourmaux?
I’m too jaded at this point to answer, pisses me off each time.Quote:
