[WRC] Rally Turkey Marmaris 2019

Tanak says he thinks his car's performance advantage will mean he wont have to push as hard as the others and will mean taking fewer risks.

Plus I think with his points lead, a good finish will be his target rather than going all-out for the win. Manu points will also be important to him for the team.

In the WRC+ preview magazine, many drivers said they didn’t know last year what to expect and will have a more cautious approach this year...or then it’s again psychological games to make others drive slower

Last year Toyotas were really struggling with the grip. Remember how everyone expected them to fail miserably on suspension and radiator damages based on what happened in Portugal and Sardegna? Maybe they had played it safe with suspension setups compromising the performance? Also, Ogier and Neuville drove at absolute maximum and you could wonder if that was too much for their cars? Or do I remember correctly that Neuville's issue was a mistake by a mechanic? or Mikkelsen's?

Toyota confirmed in interviews after last year that they used harder springs and other changes to suspension to avoid damage and that compromised performance.

Both Neuville's (damper popped up trough bonnet) and Mikkelsen's (front diff fail) issues last year were indeed due to mechanic(s) according to Hyundai. Nandan even mentioned people getting fired for that before GB.

Probably from the shakedown after multiple runs. Not many that bad sections in the rally.

Natural jumps for sure. It's a crazy fast stage. The beginning has jumps and then it becomes very wide and smooth. Completely different to the rest of the rally.

Is it a typical stage of Rally Turkey?
