When was the last time we saw Tanak 8th on pace? Probably never since his early years.
It’s remarkable really.
You sometimes get this in F1 at places like Barcelona when they used to test a lot, where the cars are maxed out and the drivers can’t make any difference so you get a grid where the guys all line up next to their team mate. Don’t recall seeing it happen in rallying like this. I suppose, there are no variables, no cutting, no road evolution, no rain, so it’s just the cars and then Kalle who has decided to go peak Loeb this weekend!
