    Don't blame you. Everyone in UK wants to leave... I've met several residing here in Turkey who are living the dream here. They're all shriveled up from overexposure by the sun after years of being under dosed with vitamin D.

    Now let's move on to the rally and less of this utter crap. Pictures to follow!

    Yes, I tried to say it so that I do not say it out directly, but you came to the right conclusion

    Some pics from the service park. M-Sport cars were all covered and seemed to be ready to go. A lot of work going on in the Toyota and Hyundai areas. Hyundai's service area was completely sealed and they had air conditioning units installed in their service areas. Was by far the largest service area of all the teams. Toyota was fiddling with Tanak's restrictor for quite some time on his spare turbo which was interesting, but I was not able to get any pics of it.
    Tempestini's C3 R5 set up was similar to that of a local team which was odd. Maybe they were not fully set-up.

    Look at the length of those TGR dampers!

    And some cool local rides too. The Mini WRC, an EVO 9 and a cool 2002.

    Looking at the pictures on twitter, it will be very rough. I hear especially SS2 is super rocky. According to Kristian Sohlberg, some of the roads have been repaired but so late that the new gravel is just very loose and not blended into the base of the road like it should be.

    Here's a bit from the power stage https://twitter.com/RallyingUK/statu...49028807274496






    EDIT: one more pic

    I noticed the Turkish R2 guys have ride height set a lot higher than everyone else in JWRC. I'm sure theyve destroyed their cars one too many times in the past.

    Another??

    We don't really have one currently. Gone are the days of Greece, Cyprus and Safari. Arguably we need one, but I don't envisage Turkey as being as rough.
