From what I've seen with Ogier in similar situations (eg running over a policeman whos trying to stop him) I think Tänak should have just winged it and go for it.
I mean, if he gets penalized or dq...

that looks promising

Yes, t its like on dirt/snow.the ford was good and mostly problem free on tarmac - but we have yet to see wha
We know that tänak struggled with i20 on tarmac previous seasons, and the i20 struggled...

im thinking that maybe ott and thierry went out with 1 spare because the hybrid system was not working correctly, and they tried to compensate the extra weight of the hybrid system?

I see as if they just didnt have enough time to iron out all the problems and produce enough spare parts.
The neuville damper ejection was a bit worrying though, as it indicates that they still...

Well he did, in a sense that he slowed down... But yea, one spare is silly.

whatever the reason for otts outage was,it was a really stupid push with no spares... Couldve just lost the 10-15 seconds on the following 2 stages and been back with 2 spares after service...
Also...

His co-drivers reaction was even more funnier, looked as if he wasnt that upset even, but saw an opportunity to toss the pacenotes around abit

But they dont get fined when they swear between the finish and stop control, even though that is sometimes also aired to tv...
basically just swear before you open your door, if youre lucky someone...

on Tänak - he may have shown some of the hyundais weaknesses on the last two rallys, or may have had bad luck. BUT, he has managed something that either Loeb, or Neuville didnt manage, make the car...

That punishment was way too harsh, 25 points deducted for just expressing your raw emotion...
Thats so not good for the sport, either is swearing on public tv, but chances were 50/50 that there was...

i doubt its just about lowering the car, otherwise it wouldnt have taken 1.5 years?
hyundai has had pretty catastrophic suspension failure before too (neuville front suspension through the hood,...

im sure this isnt the final roll cage design...
That doesnt seem very safe, imagine if the car catches fire, or submerges, how would you get out?

mistakes happen, its about how you recover...
He has recovered well, pushing everything out of that poor i20

You mean warming up like Lappi? :D
but for real, he is gaining confidence in the car, that is good... If only we would have PROPER events now!!

unbelievable mess this whole thing is...

thats just complete bullshit, first all live is working only 10% of the time, then they cancel 2 stages cause a car burns to ashes?
Im so dissappointed in this whole even, and the start of the...

Looks like Tänak and Järveoja have no hesitations from the crash!

My forecast shows -4/-9 the week after the rally... unfortunate..
But maybe it will change, lets hope so!

Atleast theyre now going ahead with the event, it can either go really bad or really good, cause weather is unpredictable.
imagine the frustration if the even was cancelled and there would be -10c...
