Michelin RC2 runners have access to the latest wet (MW1) tyre. WRC crews are on the older spec FW3

Yes, I consider him a "real champion", even though Sainz was unlucky to miss New Zealand. As it was said, even if 1995 had the least amount of championship rounds ran (until 2020...), it wasn't much different from the other seasons of that era. 1996 with 9 rounds total, 1994 with 10 rounds total, prior to that calendars were bigger but nobody used to run all rallies of the season.

We talked about it before and I think the tire situation is actually quite interesting in multiple ways
- can snow tires be sometimes better than wet tires due to temperature or due to the gravel parts? From Solbergs try it looks like they are not much worse at least
- with only 12 wet and 8 snow tires can management by picking "the other tire" can be a factor?
I am more interested in the Michelin-Pirelli comparison (than WRC-RC2) in unusual conditions, one of them might be much better. (remember Pirelli in WRC 2003-2004 on wet tarmac?)
Imo on Canarias Michelin wet tire looked faster on very wet roads (with temps around 10-15 deg). Pirelli wets were faster on less wet road.
Here it should be very wet, but much colder.
One particularly interesting point is then Kopecky and Tidemand in same team on different tires. Kopecky is usually a faster tarmac driver though.

Onboards up, Neuville was out on braking in the same barrier that Katsuta drove trough. Lost 1-2 secs there easily.
Veiby was out there as well, but no onboard of that.
Østberg was very far out on the grass.
Tidemand hit the wall basically same as Katsuta but didn't destroy anything.
...and alllive managed to miss it all.Last edited by mknight; 3rd December 2020 at 19:41.

Gwyndaf is a big part of memories I have from an amazing time in rallying. It's hard not to be drawn to the guy, I've admired him for years.
Got a knot in my stomach tonight, thinking about what Elfyn might achieve.
I saw, first hand, how proud he was when Elfyn dominated in Wales 2017.
I can't imagine what he's going to be like if he does win it.
Come on Elfyn.

I remember Gwyndaf Evans too. I have never been to Great Britain to watch rallying, but I saw reports from the British rally championship on Eurosport at the end of the nineties. At that time people were saying that after banning 4WD cars rallying can't be exciting anymore, but it wasn't true. I may be mixing various years, but I think Gwyndaf was one of the stars of this championship together with Alister McRae, Robbie Head and Tapio Laukkanen.

I am from Gran Canaria. I am absolutely convinced that there will be no problem with the rally.
