So Friday it was Solberg's mistake or car simply broke down in the ruts?

Some different thoughts about that.Quote:

Really happy for Lappi. Seems the Hyundai is really improved for gravel.
Biblical rain shower in Otepää atm
No doubt one of Kalle Rovanpera's best drives ever. Fastest times on a Sunday when 2nd,3rd and 4th are not settled is exceptional. Take a bow man!
The only good thing for others is starting order, that they don't get slapped to the face right after their ultimate push that "good job, but Rovanperä was 3 to 5 sec faster with safe driving".

Weather lottery comes in - small local-shower clouds with risks that some will get heavy rain and others not. It makes it more interesting to spectate, but from sport perspective I don't like that some external-parameter makes it unequal or ruin 3-days long effort for someone.

Planet Marcus just posted on twitter, it's the first rally for a long long time that Hyundai hasn't won a stage. does anyone here recall when was the last time this has happened?
Finland 2018Quote:

Both Loubet and Taka finished all stages, incredible.
Tanak cant catch a break lol
Yes, and yes. Tänak go fot it for sure but this time "the go" may mean 5th place. Can not see anyone touching Rovanperä, I think we may have proper humiliation by Rovanperä at the end we finally push a bit.Quote:

Smoke coming out of Tänak’s car at the start line…can’t catch a break.
Edit: okay at the end.
Rally1 car soon almost at PS finish, but better don't show it.. ffs
So, Mikkelsen approach delivered for him well at the end :)
It must be really easy rally and not so big push from drivers that nobody from Rally1 drivers didnt retired :DQuote:

Great job Ott, couldn't have done any more.
Fast and clever driving from Mikkelsen all weekend long. But I want to see him push a bit more to compare his pace with Solberg. Maybe in Finland...
Nice push by Loubet !
Rarely been so glued to a battle for 6th :D
Inb4 Dirfish driver score for Estonia:
Takamoto Katsuta (9/10)
He once again proved to be a consistent driver, showing good pace at times
Lovely words from Teemu. Craig would be proud of your drive.
Road is cleaning, or Puma is just that much slower
Tanak won 6 stages when he wasn't road sweeping.Quote:

Nice comments from Kalle!
Full send it is!
Quite sure he won't push in Finland for lots of reasons. (Championship standings, possibly only 6 starts, not in Finland in Rally2 before and not for last 4 years, lots of other fast drivers (ex. Huttunen)).Quote:

Really good rally, very enjoyable, a shame the rally won’t come back next year, hope to see it in ‘25 though. Well done to Kalle & Jonne, shame for Ott, hope he’ll have a trouble free run in the next one. Bring on Finland!
https://kuku.pleier.ee/ralliraadio - rally-radio in Estonian, but you can hear late-runner stage-end interviews.
Greensmith broke rear right wheel on PS.
Fight for 6th:
in Rally1 - 0.3sec Loubet over Katsuta
in Rally2 - 0.4sec Virves over Kaur
Why M-Sport didn’t penalized Loubet in order to get more points to Ott?
Was thinking the same thing..Quote:
