[WRC] 73. Secto Rally Finland 2024

[EstWRC]

Championship as it stands: (Evans 6th)


1. Neuville 158
2. Evans 138
3. Tänak 137
4. Ogier 132
5. Fourmaux 111

With Tänak not doing Super Sunday it is really possible that he will be 4th on the road in Greece. So nothing is lost for him.

Tänaks title hopes are basically gone. With these 3 last fast rallies he had perfect chance to go past Thierry but he failed to do this because of different circumstances.

His only hope is if Neuville will get a zero from Greece.

Btw what a time by Jürgenson on Ouninpohja. Miles faster than other

There was commentator speculation yesterday that the gap between Soberg and JML owed a lot to rain on the stage between them on Friday -- they were far apart in the running order.

Can anyone confirm or deny it?

[focus206]

Didn't see Evans's troubles, did the transmission go and it caused the spin, or did he spin and hit something that damaged the transmission?

Also guys, Neuville is one mistake or one technical trouble away from losing the title, and Acropolis is yet to come, not the kindest rally on cars, as you know. Championship is very much open.

Sounds like an introduction to a good anecdote

Or a good geoeconomic metaphor

Solberg said himself on one stage that Latvala was caught by heavy rain which started only after him.

It appeared the driveshaft went before the spin. During the stage, they played the spin and the jump before it, and co-commentator Marcus Gronholm said "that is already broken" when he watched the jump.

Unlucky, unless he did something in the stage we didn't see. First major technical trouble for Toyota this year? Or second, I seem to remember Katsuta having some technical trouble at some point.

I think that a lot of us here played RBR as welll and know that. I was an admin of rbronlineracing.cz myself at its beginnings but I stopped playing already 15 years ago (time flies!).

Nevertheless it's still completely ridiculous for a professional driver to distracts himself with reading online comments on the web.

Only takes a couple of seconds when checking results, there is nothing ridiculous about it. Most crews will be messaging back to their social media teams all the time. I sometimes would post myself between stages.

It's not about the time but about distraction. You think about stuff which takes away concentration.
