WRC Rally Monza 2021

[Rally Hokkaido]

Solberg very very lucky not to crash at an earlier part of the stage where Neuville also had a moment.

[TypeR]

SS4 start delayed

[ouvreur]

It was a slow roll and it seems like the car is not badly damaged - just stuck on top of the fence.

You wonder if that would have happened, if they were allowed RNC between stages...

[flykas]

Seems like a beast run from Ogier.

When was the last time a Swede was 5th OA in WRC on tarmac?

[Essaj]

Some stunt driving by Seb

[Jakem]

a) it's early

b) i20 doesn't exactly have a stellar reputation on tarmac from Paddon over Mikkelsen, Loeb to Tanak

c) tarmac and especially slippery one has been Fiestas best surface

This what I wanted to say in my firts post. Fiesta is still faster, dosen't matter that it is "under developed" last years and I20 over developed. All these drivers you mentioned have tried to make I20 drivable on tarmac, but still the same "understeer". Tanak's words about I20: "You can do everything, but you can't change a women to a man".
This again shows that Neuville has bulit a car around him in what even himself struggels most of the time. If you see how Neuville drives with it(most of the time on the edge)
Hopefully I20 rally1 car will be better on tarmac...

Kenneth Eriksson in Sanremo 1996?

I would guess Kenneth too.

I love that quote!

I'm not saying you are right, but there is something weird about the handling of the i20...
