    "The two drivers who started first on the road are in the lead the first night: it's a surprise, but we knew a lot could happen because of the rough conditions. a few drivers also stopped during the afternoon, I do not feel I have increased the pace in the long afternoon special, "said Ogier.

    And the French driver, champion of the world in title, to engage: "The truth is that we miss a bit of speed.It is not possible to follow if others add a little. It's not easy, but we fight, the race can be won on something other than speed, we still have our chances, we'll have to take risks, for sure, but also a bit of success. tension is exciting, it's nice to have battles. "

    Yes I like it as well. 10s up one stage 10s down next. It's probably a combination of a new rally and conditions though. With new rally (and without onboards from before) drivers couldn't just learn every corner by watching video for 3 weeks like it is on other rallies.

    Yeah for sure tacticts when surviving first day.

    3x puncture and possibly damage from driving with it further. Kopecký 2x puncture too. Says a lot about those R5 drivers who tried to push and not only go through somehow - with the exception of Henning Solberg of course. By the way whose car is Henning driving?
