[WRC] Arctic Rally 2021

4s/km loss on flatout sections would mean around 30+-kmh less speed than others. I doubt it their top was suddenly 170kmh..

Lappi is doing really good and maybe bringing Mikkelsen a bit back on the ground about taking it all :D

But yes, yacking about "communication" doesn't help Wydaeghe to gain confidence and this whole problem started out of disrespect towards Gilsoul. So it's only on him and nobody else.

while you are right,we have to give him also that this is another rally that he is not fast from stage 1,but found the speed as the rally progress.The problem is that when he finds the speed is too late for a win.

Remember again that top speed is not the thing in rallying.

Good morning, people of rallying! It's a #rallyzombies morning in #WRC #ArcticRallyFinland. Weather is similar to Friday's, a few minus degrees and misty. It should clear up though before the first run of Aittajärvi stage. The fresh snow is only 1 cm. Enjoy the day! #rovaniemi

"it's been a full 2 weeks for you at Msport at minus 30, has it been enjoyable?"

"yeee"

Suninen is not loosing on straights, but in 6th and 5th gear corners. Because zero aero, with zero development Ford.

I have to say I was expecting #Mikklesen to fight with #Lappi here after saying he wanted to ‘dominate’ every round he competes in BUT Lappi is showing some class here to keep doing it stage after stage and having closing on a 50’s lead in.

I'm surprised by this also. The thing is Lappi said he isnt even close to pushing, just driving in his own speed. But Mikkelsen after SS10 said, he is on limit, but the time difference is just huge. I wonder if there is something they are not saying on camera (nothing to take away from Lappi, I know he is talanted and fast, but time gap just seems too much).

Out of interest, I was trying to spot the highest speed shown on the telemetry at the end of SS7 where there is a flat-out partly downhill run to the FF. From memory, Ogier & Takamoto were 193-194, Neuville & Tanak were 191 (on their limiters) and Sunninen & Greensmith were 189

True, but if you could only make 170 then it would, specially here where we see them riding the rev limiter a lot

Back on the road for 2 more stages today

Chances to catch points in the Power Stage are realistically slim, but let’s try and see what comes out!
