Yes, until now cca 88 km of special stages not racing for all WRC2 crews...
But maybe they will made excuse as stages were not cancelled, just not driven :D
SS9 Solberg P3 overall, SS14 P2 :D
Oh like pretty much any other world champion? I see.Quote:

Friday of Safari Rally 2022 we had 81.67km lost as it was a bit sandy for the WRC1/2 crews.
Maybe it takes a bit longer when its a fairiy remote electric pole and none of us know exactly how much work is involved.Quote:

Been busy these past two days and I was finally able to catch up with the rally and I have to say I'm disappointed.
I'm disappointed Lappi couldn't keep it on the road to at least give Ogier something to think about.
I'm disappointed MSport can not build a proper car anymore.
I'm disappointed WRC2 is barely running.
Ogier fighting hard not to smile when he heard that Lappi crashed says it all...
Tanak
We are halfway through Saturday. The car is better than yesterday afternoon and we are improving stage by stage. 🌵🇲🇽

Neuville and Rovanpera had their smiles yesterdayQuote:

Tomi Tuominen said that bad luck, but just like in Sardegna last year mistake on the Saturday´s first stage, when leading. Maybe something in Italy, but unfortunately nothing to do with the luck this time.
what are you implying?Quote:

Actually ERC last weekend was much more exciting.
Much, much more! WRC is almost dead.Quote:

Perhaps they should’ve let go of all the WRC2 & beyond (WRC3, etc.) championships and just hand that to the ERC, then we’d have perhaps a more direct link between the ERC & WRC. Just some food for thought.Quote:

I think the main issue (beyond the usual stuff) is the fact that Ogier is mucking about, instead of doing a full season; so his win here (assuming he will win) is pretty pointless to us, drivers’ championship wise. I think we can all agree the championship would be much more interesting if we had Ogier, Tänak, Neuville, Rovanperä all fighting for the title.Quote:

Ogier just here to break another record.
What a time by Ogier out of nowhere
It could be a good idea about WRC3 being moved to ERC. Nobod follows it in WRC anyway.Quote:

If Ogier would be doing full season, he would take the title easily this year.Quote:

They (the FIA) should honestly stop it, either let him retire or do a full season, yes it’s nice to see him back but Imho it bears less meaning when he’s not doing it full time. Yes I realise we get more drivers when we do that but perhaps a part-time driver can’t be a former world champion, sorry Loeb fans.Quote:
