[WRC] Rally Italia Sardegna 2024

[meh]

Rally is not over yet, but we can still discuss the provisional standings, taking it into account, that in the very next moment it all can be different again.

Many people talk about Evans can now reduce the cap with Neuville. Yes, it's true, but it sounds weird in the context if Tänak reduces it more and also passes Evans with 3 points.

As it stands at the moment, Ogier is just 9 points behind Evans, 25 points behind Neuville. Maybe it's wrong to ignore Ogier when talking about the title fight.

Tomorrow there is a 7 + 5 points to grab. Let's say Ogier and Tänak's fight stays alive and they are faster than Neuville due to better road position, then even though he is just 3rd in the Sunday points and 3rd in PS, it's still 7 points.

Something tells me a puncture will happen either with ott or seb. Probably ott.

Keep it civil, man. Lines like these are totally unnecessary here.

The problem with text is, that the meaning comes from the way how it is said If it failed as a joke, then it was failed, but clearly no intention of offending anyone.

Meanwhile, Taka seems to have some gearbox oil-leakage issue. Something to keep an eye on for the loop.

I don't think they carry towing ropes and besides, that would be outside assistance which is forbidden.

This is not true.

34.1.2 Cars may only be towed, transported or pushed in order to bring them back onto the rally road or to clear the rally route or as otherwise permitted in these Regulations.

Interesting classification in RC2 after SS 8. First two Toyotas, then two Citroens and only then first Skoda - Martin Prokop...

I stand corrected. Yet, I still think that if another car stopped on the stage to render towing assistance to another, I think that would amount of creating a blockage or even a hazard on the stage and stewards might take a dim view about it.

Of course they can. But it is not against the rules...
