How many Toksport cars can you see in one rally?

and Fernandez (WRC3) did cancel his entry, so could have been one more...

Both new i20s didn't make it to midday on their first tough rally... Work is still needed.

both of them hit stuff, thats why

Chris Ingram won the first stage of day 3 to extend his lead, but then finished 3rd & 4th fastest on the next two stages and has lost the lead of WRC3 to Rossel.
Bad tyre choices ?



Edit: Said they overheated over-pressured the tyres.

Total control by Mikkelsen (like in Estonia).

Driving safely in rough stages and gaining 10+ secs per stage when Bulacia closed up. Yet getting massive gaps to all other Rally2s. All this with new codriver in different language.

That's the kind of driving that brings titles but not a lot of stagewins. So it will be called a disappointment here.

It was not disappointing. Here in Greece he did exactly what he promissed before the season.

Good Rallye for Rossel but 5 points short of clinching the title. His improvement margin on a last rally is quite low (8 points only) and he is not sure to go to Spain (budget).
However, Kajto would need almost two perfect performances to win the title (at least, 56 or 57 out of 60 in his last two rallies) so I would bet on Rossel still, especially because the last rallies include a lot of high-level local competitors.

On WRC-2, Mikkelsen is now in a good situation; even if Ostberg gets 30 points in Finland, he could only tie Mikkelsen (with the latter still leading the championship with more wins) and Mikkelsen would have a better improvement margin on the last Rallye. So whatever are Ostberg’s results, a 22-point performance (2nd overall + 2nd in PS) would be enough for Mikkelsen.
I wonder if Bulacia let him pass today? (Not convinced personnally because Bulacia is a client)

Amazing difference from Acropolis Day 3 for Rossel. Seems he then got his set-up right and showed the impressive speed he's had all season.

Consistent pace by Kajto as usual but Day 3 ruined Ingram's chances (tyres) although a WRC3 podium is still a fine result.
