What a time coming by Rovanpera on SS14..
Kalle doesn't care about the rain. Amazing speed !
Wheres Evans on the tracking ?
I think JML should do this every year.

Then we can assume that Seb has a good one, right? And lots of it. I think that driving style could be part of the problem oo. Tanak often drives right on the edge, too aggressively, over the biggest rocks and often that ends with an off, or later with technical issues. The car is more fragile than the that tank in the looks of Toyota.
The most impressive this year is for me Adrien and Puma. He clearly shows that the car is fast, reliable, and could do the job.
The Pirelli interviews are as exciting as always.
Yeah, but still tricky stages to go!Quote:

Shortly before the finish there is some crashed red car in the forest.
Considering Lappi has to finish the rally for Hyundai not to drop massive points with Tanak out. One has to wonder about his choices...first jump off the road and almost roll, then push for stage wins and now this (though maybe the last one wasn't his fault).
Its probably #86, Daniel Salin in Fabia.Quote:

We'll have to wait for the fan-cam footage to see the real Ouninpohja action. The RallyTV coverage is underwhelming. The camera placements were pretty poor with no sequences of jumps the stage is famous for.
Much more realistic than the pipe dream fantasy that a driver (!) fixed with feedback what a whole qualified engineering department "couldn't".Quote:

Neuville 158
Tanak 137
Evans 132
Ogier 132
Fourmaux 111
Rovanpera 102
Greece will be absolutely crucial for Neuville. If he will make a good result, he would be so close to glory.Quote:

Why did Evans retire his car?
More time for repairsQuote:

Disappointing situation for Virves, he has worked a lot to drive these rallies and a podium would have been nice. Fortunately the speed is there and he is able to compete with the top of the field. The lack of seat time makes his speed I think even more impressive.Quote:

angry Juho is the best during the interviews. he and latvala are such characters!
oh... and of course Pajari is not on the title fight or whatever, but its really cool to see him on the top5 after all those retirements! consistency is something really important and I hope he has that too!
Disaster of a rally for Estonians. Tänak off, Jürgenson off, Jeets retired already after shakedown and Virves losing his podium with the bonnet problem.
Linnamäe so and so
Spot of the day...Quote:

Nice to someone rip off that ugly piece of banner :laugh:
"Mickey Mouse shit" indeed.
I really hope for 3 things in next year’s Rally Finland, a longer rally, a proper (and longer) p.s. and having Ott, Lappi & Evans on the podium ;)Quote:
