56th RallyRACC CATALUNYA-COSTA DAURADA

Trying too hard when the car doesn’t feel 100% right.

This also stops his series of getting stage win every rally this season.

Funny but also pretty idiotic. Someone could easily crash into them.

This. They entered with Reeta as driver so they can start in WRC3 and not behind the JWRC’s.

Ok but I don’t really understand how they could score points with Lindholm driving really instead of the official driver registered (or maybe the rule makes it possible for them to compete but not to score points, I admit I’m not familiar with this kind of tricks?)
I would prefer Rossel to win the championship (as he is young so it would give him a push as he has small budget) but I find it quite strange as it has a potential major impact on the championship.

Whatever points Lindholm gets this weekend will be scored for Hämäläinen. It’s just about driving, getting experience and showing pace.

In WRC 3 the biggest impact have some FIA's games... Due to date of Rosel's hearing and discussion about his DSQ in Greece, Kajetanowicz really doesn't know what he should do in Spain...

Moreover, Kajetan said that he heard that the final decision about Rossel will be made in November, after Monza and the whole season ends. Ridiculous, isn't it?

Lindholm now 2,7 from Camilli.Amazing pace from him.

Yeah, I don't know what happened to him. He wasn't so fast in the previous events. Maybe it's really Reeta who is driving?

[Danny0405]

Meh...
Even if he is not scoring points, I think it is not normal Lindholm can drive as a WRC3-entry in this round as it has an impact on the championship. And I think it is quite ridiculous to be able to make an entry as a driver ... not to drive the car.
Rossel’s exclusion in Greece and his appeal is certainly an uncertainty but, at the moment, he has 0 point from Greece: and as far as this is the incumbent decision, the call is tight between Rossel and Kajto so all points are counting and both drivers know it, there is no question about what they should do, they have to take the best possible result (all the more than Kajto cannot clinch the championship this weekend even with a 30-point rallye and needs 23 points to equal Rossel so at least 2nd overall + power stage win)

Of course it does matter. You should look how tight is the battle and what are the rules in WRC 3. For final standings you take 5 best out of 7 outings. So basically you can forget how the standings are looking now. Probably number of wins will decide but...

For now: Rossel : Kajto is 3:3. Kajto has 2 starts (Spain and Monza) and for now he can be a champion without winning any of these rallies.

But it FIA gives Rossel win in Acropolis the ratio would be 4:2 for him. And Kajetanowicz should win Spain and Monza. But he will know it... after one or even two these rallies

You know now, why its so ridiculous? Let's imagine Ogier or Evans has for example 15 suspended points...

Crazy!
