Correct

It will be interesting to see Latvala creating the braking points and entry lines for the rest to follow for the first time in his career on tarmac surface...If of course chooses to do that.

i hope he can cope well.

Don't think he'll lead at the end of today's leg.

I'm really surprised with the result of Thierry Neuville.

I have indeed never driven a top class racing car. I base this on the blog of antony warmbold.

I remember stages like the Bastellica stage in Corsica, 40 km of which the 15 last were steep downhill, without even a hint of a brake problem.

and since his experiences are from 6 years ago, I assume they have made progress on this and the brakes are even better.

Breen correct time at SS 3 seems that is 25:02 and not 24:02 which is writen in ewrc-results

Please note that Breen's time on SS3 is wrong on EWRC. He is one minute slower.

you should have picked a better source...WRC cars behave far differently when they go full speed and when they are driven by B-C class drivers...

Wilson and Henning seem to be getting worse and worse as time goes on. Is the M-Sport customer car really that different from Latvala and Solbergs? I can't think that Papa Wilson would give Matty a substandard car to make him look even worse that he already is.
