    I have not seen footage since I am in the wild, but sounds like Ogier (1st damage, not the off), Mikkelsen and Latvalas issues.

    its a stupid event.
    Ostberg turbo
    Breen fire
    Mikkelsen driveshaft there is no rally without driveshaft problem for some works cars,We see it at every rally even the smooth or asphalt ones.
    Ogier driver mistake
    Lappi driver mistake
    Neuville suspension collapsed without hitting something while brand new.Problematic suspension unit probably.

    works drivers are 12....rest of them are still at rally almost without problems
    about r5 cars Henning was faster without a puncture with same tyres/car.

    Yes rally was extreme rough at day 1 ,but this roughness didnt drive to retirements,at least at more percentage from other rallies due to ''roughness''

    when in every rally you have about 7-10 manufacturer cars finishing and here you have 5 with a day to go means that this rally is a car breaker...

    drivers errors ,fires and turbo has nothing to do with roughness.

    Here is Ogiers incar off. 2 beers.

    Just trying to think if other factors may have been there besides rough road. What ambient temperatures are there? Is it possible that while cars can handle engine cooling, some other components (diffs, hydraulics) still may suffer from overheating? Mikkelsens diff issue may be because of too hot oil not providing enough lubrication/cooling to diff, also Latvala mentioned hydraulics overheating. Breen fire quite probably also started from oil leak, wether oil temperature plays any role there, i dont know. Also in case of Ostberg turbo fail easily could have been destroyed bearings due to lubrication issues.
