TLDR, too short stage and too many variables for any conclusions
And Paddon will win PS? 2nd Tanak and 3rd Neuville?

As I am sure you know, disadvantage in sec pr km (R5/WRC17) changes with stage character.Quote:

This can be on a very fast stage, or a technical stage which goes from corner-to-corner. But as soon as acceleration becomes an issue, (distance between corners) they will loose more.
So worst stage for R5 would be with 90 degree junctions followed by long (100 meters+), in combination with long fast corners (lack of downforce).
On Andreas: If he was in Citroën, all makes would fight for wins on every rally.
Paddon will be earlier on the road on the PS than on the first run of Fafe, so maybe but not as given.Quote:
