Rally di Roma Capitale 2018

541/5000
This morning a bit of everything happened, fortunately without consequences for the crews, but the many punctures and road exits on all the tests have caused several interruptions of the tests and to reassemble the group there is only one system, lengthen the reorganization of Fiuggi where the machines are now.

The Andreucci exit scheduled for 13:49 becomes at 15:20 then with 91 minutes delay (1 hour and 31 minutes). The times of the next special tests will therefore be:

ps.5 Pico 17:29

ps.6 Roccasecca 18:24

ps.7 Santopadre 19:14

Wasn't he always?

To change the subject mid post, why on earth is the rally ended with a super special? So stupid. The rally is 99% decided already on the second to last stage. Not that I think this will be a rally that goes down to the wire but what if it had been?

Anyway I'm really happy Paolo Andreucci and Anna Andreussi are finally "safe" after their huge crash last week ;)

I wish a good and quick recovery to Anna... :)

So, what should he have said here?
IMO he is just explaining how he finds the car to drive, and what he feels has to be done to improve the car to be able to go faster.

What happened to Simon Wagner? There is his comments after ss4 but no time.

FIA European Rally Championship Junior Under 27 drivers Simon Wagner and Catie Munnings were forced to recce Rally di Roma Capitale’s stages well into Friday night, following a break-in to one of their Saintéloc team’s recce cars.

Wagner and Munnings, along with their co-drivers Gerald Winter and Anne Katharina Stein, lost their pace notes, race suits and other equipment in a theft on Thursday before SS1 in Rome.

Saintéloc’s third driver Miika Hokkanen and co-driver Reeta Hämäläinen were not adversely affected, despite their recce car also being involved.

“Our recce car was parked in central Rome and broken into. They stole everything, we have nothing,” explained Wagner on Thursday.

“The laptop is gone, the GoPro camera is gone. They also stole a six pack of water bottles, it’s crazy.”

With their pace notes gone, Wagner and Winter were granted special dispensation by organisers to recce all of the rally’s remaining stages, while Munnings and Stein were permitted to recce all of Saturday’s tests.

This allowed both crews to write replacement notes from scratch by driving through the stages first-hand, rather than relying on video footage, some of which had also gone missing in the theft.

“Our preparation was perfect. I was really happy with everything but now it’s a new game for us. I hope we will survive,” Wagner concluded.

"Despite being forced to rewrite all his pace notes from scratch with co-driver Gerald Winter last night, Wagner took 6s out of Sesks to make first place his own.

His lead was a brief one, crashing into a wall only two kilometres into SS3 and turning the lead battle into a Sesks versus Sindre Furuseth affair."

I found the answer now, but how on earth there is his comments after ss4 if he retired on ss3????
