As I said, Munster the slowest of the (factory) drivers. Slower than some Rally2's on SD !

Nothing to gain from this shakedown, as said above you can only loose as there is no service anymore before the stage.

Maybe its bit more important as its a remote shakedown with no chance to visit the service park before the start of the first stage.

The way I read it there is also no chance to change setup until the evening after both SSS and first proper stage.

So another useless shakedown.

It's like the FIA does everything it can to kill shakedowns.

Massive difference between Ogier and Mikkelsen in the beginning of the vid

It's the same for everyone but the others were happy to be fast compared to Munster.

Most important rally of Neuville's career. We know he's fast on asphalt, but he has to keep it on the road and hope for no problems.

With the new points system it's more complicated, but more or less Thierry has to:
- finish in front of Tanak
- finish at least 2nd
If Thierry finishes 3rd, it will depend who's 1st and how Sunday will go, it might not be enough. But of course, to finish 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc. first you have to finish.

I heard that Hyundai and Ford left tyre fitting zone with dry tires and Toyota with wet tires for the upcoming stages. Just a rumour, nothing official.

You can see it on the vid frorm ceremonial start. So it is confirmed.

Guess they have some other meteorologists for the evening stage, maybe Marcus

Thats so so weird decision, we are on the Friday stages rn and they are mostly dry, just some forests are a bit slippy. Klatovy is a stage which is located between fields and not so many trees here, so sounds weird.. And rain? I can't see any.
