[WRC] Kennards Hire Rally Australia 2019

[mknight]

Clark talking about multiple possible (driver/entry) "changes". I fail to see any clear candidates tbh.

Sure Østberg with C3 is a possibility, but he is already entered.
A distant shot might be Rovanpera in 4th Yaris. Here it would somehow make sense that they didn't want to announce it before Skoda secured title.
Even more distant shot might be O. Solberg with WRC (Fiesta), but that would also have been announced earlier.

Some people would think about Hyundai, but that doesn't look likely to me at all as it's one of Mikkelsen's best rallies and he has shown good recent form and consistency. Similarly Sordo is the definition of consistency this year, while Breen has bad recent record and bad record in Australia in general. Loeb I think has not driven Australia at this location a single time and was very vocal about not doing more than 6 rallies.

Route preview. Same areas as last year but new stage configurations. Shakedown and three forest stages are driven in the same forest area, with them sharing pieces of road together. Saturday is again driven in South with wider and more flowing roads, Friday and Sunday is narrower but still often faster. 25 stages is the record of the year but five of them are super specials.

Re: 'At 15.4 km there’s a haybale chicane, the only one of the whole rally' Not used this year, it has been replaced by a deviation onto a small track for approx 100m.

Obviously they don't trust their tractor drivers any more.

Thanks for the correction, I just assumed it's the same as last year, but a good reason to change it

When was the last time Kopecky didn’t finish a rally?

Is it possible Ogier might not go to OZ. Mads in his place.

Ofcourse he doesn't, he's a 6 time world champion.

Still doesn't mean he won't be there though, and be aiming to win the event (while trying some things on the C3)
