    Something isnt working for him at the moment. Maybe its the car, maybe himself... but probably both. Have to press *reset* button in his head.

    It was mentioned by Julian Porter in a podcast that they have a limited number of very expensive onboard camera kits and if there's a privateer in a WRC car, it's more important than the WRC2 Pro guys. Kalle and Gus have onboard cameras, Mads doesn't (or it's not working).

    The street stage wasn't actually half bad, it had some nice fast sections, but the five donuts was just overblown.

    EDIT: The Highlight reel has onboard footage from Østberg, maybe the transmitter wasn't just working since he wasn't shown on All Live. Pedro Heller also had an onboard camera.

    So, what do we think about running order on the remainder of this rally?

    Will it be an advantage to go early or late, overall?

    Yesterday there were a lot of drivers who were uncomfortable with the conditions, talking about lack of confidence, and so on. Loeb started badly, but somehow got it together after lunch and he's put in good times ever since. Whatever he did, to his car or his head, it's working. I guess that's why he has the record he has...

    How does the nature of today's stages differ from yesterday?

    He always gets faster as the rally progresses when he's comfortable. Dude is a calculated mofo and could be deadly once he figures the Hyundai out. Something Andreas still can't do and Neuville took years

    Hopefully Mads’ transmitter will be working today. I’m not sure how many people would consider Bertelli more interesting than Ostberg/Kalle etc.

    Yesterday it was still quite damp from the Thursday rains but now it should be drier so it should be more of a challenge to be first on the road.

    More fast sections, less technical sections, but still a combination of both. The end of SS8/11 and the beginning of SS9/12 is super fast
