[WRC] News & rumours (part IV) 2016

[itix]

I think it was Finland, he crashed heavily into a huge boulder, but car somehow survived it and he managed to fix it temporarily.
In Monte he also made some kind of strange fix that hepled him to reach service and collect a few points.
In Sweden he had an off into the snowbank in rather slow junction, only damage was 2 minutes loss, which is huge in Sweden.
In Portugal , I think it was the place where he managed to crash twice in one rally.
In Poland he had little off and later retired with technical problem
In Australia he had a huge spin in sixt gear. Just a little cosmetical damage and +20 seconds was the result.
In Spain, he had rather simple off, cutting too much and going strait into the ditch.

So, he had a few crashes, three of them caused Rally 2, one caused him huge time loss (Finland) and one caused major time loss (Sweden).

Tänak had two calssical crashes, Spain and Monte (There he managed to continue).
Then he had two very unlucky moments GB and Argentina where he managed to hit small stones and broke suspension. and this strange crash in Mexico where he hit depression that broke steering and created the most viewed videos in 2015 WRC

So, I would say that their season was rather similar, only difference was that Ott had mostly more speed.

My point exactly

At least he is able to recreate realistic situations (for him) in testing...

Eurolamp WRT was thinking about registration to WRC as a team. But as Mini is not manufacturer, they are not able to register...
