Exactly the impression I am getting from his comments.
"the rear snapped" = the car needs fixing or he had bad luck
Imo the main problem is his approach to the very first (proper) corner of the rally. He has nowhere near enough experience to attack it at 110% and he should have no reason to do this at this point either.
EDIT: I also checked the onboard. Basically on exactly the same spot where Tanak lifts and turns in (while in 3rd), Solberg switches to 4th and keeps full throttle. Wonder if that also means ev-boost is still on, which could explain the oversteer while on throttle.Last edited by mknight; 7th August 2022 at 20:17.

Why do they even have a bumper that is 1 kg (20%) lighter than all the other bumpers laying around? Weird.

Would expect it to be without stickers then. I assume it's the bottom red part:

Maybe they use stickers also during testing, or have all bumpers without them and fit them first on the car. Anyway these kind of issues are best avoided by making it impossible to mount it, for example by not having it with them to the rally. Or by storing them completely different place and clearly marked. Commercial aviation and space industry have extensive and hard-earned experience of how things need to be make impossible to do the wrong way.Last edited by mknight; 7th August 2022 at 20:51.

Let's hope they don't weigh Lappi's car.

I know rules are rules, but how is it possible that it's allowed to drive a stage with a car damaged so much(dangerous also).. yet not allowed to drive liaison on 4 wheels/3 tyres..
Happy for Lappi tho, managed to keep 3rd!Last edited by TypeR; 8th August 2022 at 06:46.

If it's enough reduction to enable some extra Rally1 cars with WRC Promotor help it's only a good thing if only for the next 18 months. WRC Promoter’s Senior Director of Sport, Peter Thul added:...
