I would say with my small Estonian knowledge that it's a more efficient pace note language than Finnish because the words are generally a bit shorter than in Finnish, although the languages are...

Yeah, that place exactly, and on the final long straight of Likenäs on the last day of Sweden

That's interesting. Kankkunen had always English notes with a couple of Finnish words thrown in :D

Also, if I understood correctly, I noticed during Monte and Sweden, how on a long straight,...

This is actually how they do it now. That’s why it’s hugely unlikely anyone would genuinely be late from the power stage

No one has ever thought it would be a problem? Has this happened in the past before?

Some thoughts on the drivers' performances

I knew Loeb could still do something, but I was still blown away by his pace that could have been enough for a rally win. Also, I was expecting Ogier to...

???

What's up with this forum?

2016 actually. After complaints it was removed for 2017.

They could have just put the finish a bit earlier, where tarmac started?

EDIT: Maybe the chicane was indeed to allow a big spectator area in the outside of the last corner...otherwise they...

Well, if the stewards had acted quick and given Neuville a penalty before the power stage started, I guess Ogier would have taken it easier. So in that way it was not fair.

Regarding that chicane...

You would be happier if Neuville was 9:13.0 from the lead instead of 9:03.0 and 1:31.7 ahead of Tidemand instead of 1:21.7?

Like I said, this is why we have human stewards.

Neuville could have driven that chicane at 10 km/h making sure he touches nothing.
He could have plowed through and been given a 30 sec penalty
He could have been given the same 10 sec penalty as...

Can you pinpoint an example where a considerable advantage was gained (ie. gaining a position or winning a power stage)?

The difference here is that the road book does not contain every single corner - just tells which road to drive, how long, which junction to turn. And of course, anything artificial such as chicanes,...

Tidemand et al will be ahead of Latvala

Difficult situation for Neuville being 2 minutes off the lead with no one behind either. He can only hope for someone to run into trouble ahead of him. Maybe some power stage points, because finally...

Start order was decided on the overall result before superspecials

Neuville must be happy to clean the road another day...wouldn't it be more fair to put the rally2 guys first on the road?

What a Black Friday for Finnish rally fans...

Pun intended? :p

Suninen says the roads have been cleaning considerably already during recce.

Rovanperä faster than Tidemand!

I noticed the same. Tänak said in the preview that he likes more the faster type of Mexico roads like El Brinco, and this is where he made the fastest time last year, but the truth is most of the...

it was going to the wrong way

Yeah I noticed the filmer zooms in on the leak at 0:37 but I thought it's just water as they keep working and one of the guys even still goes under the car...apparently not
