That seems to be the big problem nowadays. There are no junior teams, no seat for youngster to grow. Unless your dad is called solberg, the only way to get into a wrc1 is to pay millions to m-sport.Quote:

So it is a bit confusing for me.
It's interesting that WRC shares all the ,,cool videos and photos'' about that stage.. yet it was the reason for big delay and even possible cancellation of the stage :D
in my experience of wrc round seen live on stage, that's not particularly true. i've seen people around the road (in a couple of "famous" sposts) in monte, sardinia and even in germany. and you can find similar footage in mexico, greece, poland. but my experience could be distorted.Quote:

This has to do with crew safety, and should be important to FIA!
Now, let´s follow Evans through the tricky end and no jumping from driver to driver, please!
I am wondering, what is doing there a triple zero car, Toyota Yaris with finnish plates TGR 25? Little extra recon?Quote:

Crazy split from Ogier, 10sec up at split 3.
Very solid loop by Evans with no mistakes like his main rivals.
Ogier is close to crying after the stage end, so there is some mental struggle with personal issues, not just being crumpy or not motivated.
What a time by Ogier.
And seems he has some personal issues
Boss is back. However, his comment at the end... he looked very sad
Yeah. Let´s hope he can manage all to the end. Guess he will do.
Emotional Ogier, I hope his family is ok.
Good run Fourmaux
An excellent run, in fact.Quote:

Excellent loop, in fact by Fourmaux. Good pace and no mistakes and with a dirty road and slightly dodgy set up.
Tänak moment. 37 seconds lost

Did they joke about the Toyota Rally2 car is three cylinder engine? Or is it for real?
Real, see https://toyotagazooracing.com/rally2/cars/Quote:

So far the Yaris rally2 hasn’t impressed but ok, only a first rally
Because you could hear the strange sound, already then. So what´s on the upside? Less friction oc. Less torque...?Quote:
