[WRC] EKO Acropolis Rally Greece 2024

This is interesting. Both yr.no and windy are showing basically zero rain in service park (Lamia), whereas on the first stage of the rally down in the mountains it is totally different, lot of rain forecasted for Thursday afternoon.
Does the elevation really play big role in Greece or is it just a silly forecast? It looks very interesting tho..

Air with lower temperature/pressure can hold less water. So as wet air gets blown towards mountains it will rise, cool down, clouds will form and it will rain. Perfectly normal phenomenon.
With ~ 9km resolution in the ECMWF model it will be able to predict this.

Whether it will happen is off course not perfectly certain.

Everybody saying it’s rough and rougher than last two years. Roads not fully repaired

Good luck to who drives a certain car notorious for having fragile suspensions. And I just noticed Saturday is without service halfway through, only tyres.

Do you mean good luck for Neuville, who always carry suspension issue? Well, atleast he is going first, so there shouldn't be so many rocks

Any Hyundai driver, really. What worries me is the second day without service.

Crazy cleaning (on shakedown), 2nd pass 6-7sec faster than 1st pass. Probably 1st on the road is not as bad as 2nd on the road because of hanging dust.

Delighted to see Ott and Martin in their groove after Finland.
