Now that Ott will be back.

How things will end up in terms of the car set up?

I mean, this year we read some comments from Thierry that the setup they use this year is much more suitable to him...

Really, I mean really, happy for Ott.

After all these difficulties this season, with so many issues.

He still has more wins, not only from Neuville, but from the whole Hyundai team...

You...

Total idiots.
I am sorry to use these words but honestly, these morons will kill our iconic and beautiful rally.
Most of the spectators are quite good, have logical thinking and behavior.
But the...

This year I was able to spectate only on Friday.

Stage Livadia, once more a very good stage. I was in a technical twisty place of about 100 km/h, left, to right, to left.

Kalle quite careful,...

At the region of Thessaly, especially at Volos town and at the villages of Pelion the situation is very bad.

Very very big amount of water, flood, cars dropped in the sea, roads with huge holes.

With 2 crashes in 3 years (from a driver that is not crashing too often) and a speed that was never as dominant as in other rallies.
It is fair to say that until now he is struggling in Finland....

I rate Kalle as a great champion and possibly a future multiple world champion (bad for the sport especially after the two Sebs). He is fantastic most of the times.

But let's be honest.
Until...

Nice rally from Elfyn.

I think he would have challenged for the win,
even if Rovanpera was competing the whole rally.
They were very close and Kalle was pushing very much.

I still believe...

I really wish to have a good battle for the win until the end.

Rovanpera's crash shows that he still is a human.
OK he is not a human usually as we and his rivals facing in most of the cases but...

I really feel for Ott.
I really feel for Estonians.
I really feel for all of us in terms of this rally and the championship, considering his pace at the 1st morning stage...

No, Grammeni stage has nothing common with old Grammeni Oxia stage.

It is placed north west of Lamia, between the villages Grammeni and Kalamaki.

We are a small country but we have plenty of roads, mountains, hence special stages, despite that many gravel roads became paved asphalt.

At some point in the future I would like to see Kaloskopi....

I believe, this year's itinerary is better than previous years.

They kept the fantastic Livadia stage, with so many good spots, fast and flowing.

They include also Elatia and I really hope that...

For sure he was extremely unlucky.
I mentioned it previously and I still believe it.

But, since you already found 2 other cases that a wooden pole penetrated the windshield in the last decade...

Previously there is a reasonable straight.

If he had bad line at the previous corner, likely he would have recovered it at this straight. No?

In any case. This lovely person did not have any...

Very very very bad news, so sad...

What a nice guy, so unlucky.

He will never be forgotten.

The weather links posted previously are showing very low temperatures during the rally, also some fresh snow.

Interesting, I hope to be a proper Monte.

If the rally will be rebased at Loutraki, we will support it and enjoy it.

But honestly I do not like so much the stages near Loutraki and Northeast Peloponnese that will be the main ones.

In...

Yes, I agree, Tsouloftas is fast and even if Athanassoulas was in good health, it would have been very difficult for him to bit Tsouloftas.

But I do believe that a healthy-fit Athanassoulas, would...

A very beautiful Rally Acropolis, we enjoyed SS6 Livadia and SS8-SS11 Pyrgos in very nice spots.

We managed to enjoy Loeb twice, before his unfortune technical issue.
I am pretty sure that if the...

The last 4 kms that were cut from the end of SS5 Dafni, are mainly gravel, barely some meters of old worn asphalt.
I think you underrate this stage.
It has quite a lot fast places for an Acropolis....

I have the impression that Puma lifts it more often. Maybe I am wrong.

Bad use of English sorry.

I meant the rear wheel on the inside.

Let's say when turning left, the rear left wheel.

At the tarmac tests of Puma, the rear internal wheel often was lifted.

I do not remember this to happen at the current cars.

I was reading the following from CAR.


"The new car doesn’t share much in common with the Puma road car, however. The new Rally1 rules mean that, for the first time, very few parts of the...
