56. Renties Ypres Rally Belgium 2021

[AnttiL]

Ogier's time for SS 10 has been adjusted again;

SS 10 – DIKKEBUS 1
Following the Clerk of the Course Decision No. 12 on the allocation of a notional time for all cars affected by
the interruption of SS 10, the Clerk of the Course
DECIDES
to apply Art. 52 of the 2021 FIA WRC Sporting Regulations and reallocates the times as follows:

Car No. 1 6.25.6

I think they used the results of the second run of that stage to create the notional time. The thing is just that Ogier likely wouldn't have performed so well on the morning loop due to road cleaning. Evans was faster on all the three other morning stages.

Based on those marks of liquid on Oliver's windscreen I guess hydraulic.

Could it be a electro-hydraulic device?

Based on the splits of SS 10, Ogier was faster from Evans and Rovanpera by some margin.
Maybe, they had evidence that he would be faster also at the finish of the stage.

I'm like 99% sure that Ogier didn't pass a single split. Katsutas accident was like 1km from the start

Nah just WRC2 turned from comedy to ridiculous levels.

Suninen retired again before stage (maybe for good with engine damage?).

Gryazin went to the start of wrong stage.

Solberg with some issues but he still has 5,5 mins over Huttunen after his two punctures.

So atm Solberg will lead while 10th-ish RC2 and Gryazin will be on podium while 1 hour-ish behind (after timepenalties).

That's worse than rough gravel rallies in WRC2 pro era.

Hopefully from next year when the WRC promoter also has ERC they can persuade the FIA to scrap this WRC2/3 divide and instead have works supported drivers in WRC2 and true privateers/young guys in ERC.

You are correct.
My bad, I am sorry, I was confused, from another stage.
Please ignore my previous comment.

Another superb day for Rovanpera - a great example of how to drive when you're young, with low experience and never driven a rally here before.

Yes I agree, excellent from him.

Suninen can not continue tomorrow. What a disaster for M-Sport in WRC2 also and both drivers made mistakes. Time to find new paying drivers!
