    Doesn't look like there is external damage. Could be anything from completely destroyed engine to a sensor giving wrong info. (in shakedown obviously one stops on first warning).

    Probably first news of the start possibilities will come late in the afternoon after the car gets to service and inspected.

    Hyundai says Mikkelsen had "transmission problem".

    Interesting since it's same car as in Sardinia.

    Are these modern R2 and R5 really weaker cars than those 1980s/1990s cars. Acropolis was part of WRC, I can´t remember much complaining about roads conditions.

    Turkey is good and if you don´t like it, you can skip it in WRC2/3, simple!

    In 1990's they had service and tyre change between each stage, mousse tyres and they were allowed to three-wheel into service. With less suspension travel and tyres with less grip they probably drove slower even when going flat out. Now, basically the tyres and suspension allow faster driving on rough roads, but that can also lead into bigger damage when hitting a bigger rock than expected. Also these cars are probably more expensive to service and certain parts are regulated more than in the 1990s.

    Yes, they are waker. Comparing to 80s/90s cars, nowadays speed is more important than reliability...
