[WRC] COPEC Rally Chile 2019
Route here https://www.rally-maps.com/Rally-Chile-2019
Only a month until the rally but we don't now much about it. I managed to find some onboards from the 2017 rally of stages that are driven this year
SS1 2:27 -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAn8...youtu.be&t=147
SS9 0:47 -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUABH_EJFhU
SS16 2:21 -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upvHLHQ3i18
The first one is really narrow and technical amid vegetation, a bit like the "jungle" stages on the Sunday of last year's Rally Australia. SS9 meanwhile is like a Mid-Wales stage with cambered corners and occasionally narrower part. The fog and rain help with the association to Wales, although the pine trees could be straight from Finland!. SS16 is yet another story, quite wide and fast-flowing roads like New Zealand or Nambucca in Australia.
For sure this will be nothing like Rally Argentina, and quite different to what the current calendar offers. I'm really excited about it!

First round of RallyMobil was this weekend. On Sunday, 3 stages were cancelled. Apparently, some drivers had problems during refuelling in a Copec gas station. The top 3 couldn't start one stage (in Chile, the start order is inverse, first the 2wd cars and last the R5 drivers).
So, because of all the delay, the organisers decided to cancel 3 stages in order to run the power stage on the scheduled time, with live coverage on local television and through the internet.

The itinerary was updated. Initially the plan was to have 3 + 3 stages in Friday with only a tyre change in between, but instead they dropped the second repeat of SS1 and went to a proper service in between. It would have been quite outrageous to do 6 stages on a new rally without being able to change the setup. And according to the video I posted above SS1 will be the one of the trickiest stages of the rally, if not the most. But this change means now there are three forest stages in the rally which are to be driven only once.

It was on qualifying stage, he rolled the car and it was said that he won't be able to start the rally. But team managed to repair the car and he did start and dominated drivers like Rossel, Gryazin...
