And didn’t Evans say it was a stone anyway?

a pothole

Yeah/.. seems that way, I was referring to what he said originally before the video told the truth. Cheers.

Problem is that new WRC cars are so "brutal" and destroying the road very quickly. I have been there in 2017 and I was surprised, how the road can be destroyed after few WRC cars...

i don't think anyone would have predicted no stage wins for Ogier and/or Citroen for the rally. Would be interesting to see last time Ogier didn't get a stage win on a tarmac rally.

Probably back when he was in an S2000 Fabia!

Has there been any definite news on why Camilli caught fire?

[dimviii]

on French forum they said that the fire started from back side of car.

look how Neuville takes that corner at 1:45, compared to Ogier in the beginning of the video, Tänak at 2:25 and Evans at 2:55. Amazing late braking by Ciamin at 3:05, i was sure he was going straight

Perfectly shows how Toyota an Fiesta were on different level this weekend. Also shows the Citroen struggles.

For Neuville this is the way he has been driving on tarmac for last 1,5 years at least. There were good vids from Spain showing the same thing.
1. Throws car into corner, often with handbrake
2. Slides trough

How can that style get top 3 times is partly a mystery to me, maybe he just gains the time in other types of corners? (shorter or tighter) Might explain why sometimes he is in the top and then on next stage he can be way down again.

Sordo drives like a FWD car and does ok times most of the time (4-6th). Mikkelsen (last year) and Loeb (now) tried to drive like normal wrc car (same style as Tanak, Evans and Ogier here, trying to drive "on rails") and end up with horrible stagetimes.

i can see how driving like that can give good times, but i fail to understand how he doesn't destroy his tyres with it.
