I've done a little recce of the Sunday stages and I have to say, whoever wins the Power-Stage deserves it. The first 5km [of SS13/15] are fast downhill on full ice.
...

Bulacia recce states SS12-14 from Puget-Théniers / La Penne had wide, dry roads. The SS13-15 (PS) of Briançonnet / Entrevaux had narrower roads and with 70% ice.

This issue lead to Ogier eventually dropping his starting position after losing so much time due to snow-ploughing.

This has since lead to all sorts of road position tactics.

'Organisers have pledged to return next year with a rally every bit as exciting as was planned for 2021.

“We are committed to providing competitors, fans and the region’s economy with our landmark...

So there were many many guys out videoing all the PET's for the Monte.

Will they and other fans really stay away and/or be successfully prevented from attending the rally ? It would be sickening...

Fourmaux and the Fiesta Mk2 both showed good improvements in the second half of 2020.

He can be a special driver for the future and I cant wait to see him in the M-Sport WRC car.

More Suninen day 2

Suninen testing again today & also Fourmaux in the Fiesta Rally2.

I hope Nico Gilsoul gets another job soon. He seems a great guy from his WRC Backstories interview.

One thing DR was right about is UK rallying needing new blood. If the youngsters dont get into watching and then wanting to help organise events then the sport is doomed.

The hardcore fan base is...

RMC seems to be a reality - the team trucks have arrived and the Service Park was under construction this afternoon.

What happened with Microsoft ?

Greensmith and car put back on the road and drove off:

Give him a break. It happens.

Katsuta, Evans & Ogier have all wrecked Toyota's in testing.

Others are also asking for a ban...

MSport were cracking on with the new car during lockdown last year. They should be well into testing soon.

And didnt the WRC put back the date the teams must be testing the new cars to July 2021 ?

One eyewitness reported:
"Séb went straight from the road. It was high-speed and straight to the tree. The car was rolling a few times, it was a big, big crash."
