    The R5 class seems really competitive here, both in terms of drivers and cars. The Hyundai, Skoda, Citroen and VW all seem on a good level now.

    Järveoja is saying that tomorrow will be the biggest challenge

    Of course depending on how much damage the overnight rain does

    No, it's to keep the right hand at the gearshifter. I think Tänak does the same, shifting the position on the wheel on longer bends in order to be able to shift quickly.

    If Wales Rally GB looked like this people would complain it looks weird because it's so dry and not muddy.

    Looking bad really, heavy rain and lots of plus degrees, without going to minus in between. Still, I don't believe they would cancel it at this point.

    Me either. Not with it being the Powerstage. It'll be what it'll be. Wouldn't surprise me if they stop it before the JWRC come through though, if it's bad.

    Likenas has always been a terrible stage for Hyundai. So unless it changes into safari-rally style they might end with just one car in top 5 in the stage.

    Hello to everyone. I am "new" on this forum. As my nickname suggests, I was deeply interested in WRC, that was the "old epoch", second half of 90s, early 2000s. Than I lost a bit sight of WRC (but not completely, I know who has won champ titles during the last several years). And now I try to back to old passion. I found this phantastic forum. Could you answer, from time to time, some questions from me? I try to realize, what's happening now in this business. And here comes my first question: is there any explanation, why in the previous season Hyundai was - as it was said in one post - usually slower than Toyota on the first run of stages, but faster during the repetition? What is the explanation for this regularity (if it was regularity)? Thanks!

    Obviously we don't know and we don't have detailed telemetry or other info so we can just speculate.
    In general I'd say there are two main theories:
    - Yaris is "softer" and hugs the road better, so when surface is smooth it can stay low and hug the surface which together with better aero makes it faster, Hyundai is much more stable and suspension absorbs rough surface better so drivers can push harder in rough conditions without getting thrown around.
    - I20 seems harder to set-up and small changes seem to do a lot (until they changed damper supplier last year they also had like 50 dampers to choose from), so after first pass they can analyze the setup and tweak it better for second runs

    How much any of these is correct is hard to tell, might be it's for some other reason completely. But it's a fact that Hyundais do better on second runs (especially on gravel) and on rougher stages compared with Toyota.
