LOTOS 73rd Rally Poland 2016

SAT 10:32 - SS11: BREEN
1.7sec quicker than his team-mate Lefebvre on stage and the pair tie seventh position. "Quite an okay stage. I changed the pace notes at the end and lost my place a bit." And how about the battle with Levebre? "We're not thinking about that all. We're doing our own thing - paddling our own canoe."

Suninen needs to find also some consistency. So far he has been crashing way too much.

Really?? more than Lappi? and i think Suninen won two of the three outings of WRC 2. or maybe im mistaken.

Sat 11:02 - Stage info: SS12
Stanczyki 1, 25.27km. This is the longest and most picturesque stage of the rally. It runs in a hilly area rich in open spaces and spectacular views, with plenty of undulating sections. There is a mix of narrow and wide roads which pass several lakes and it is rougher than the opening day tests. It has been heavily revised from last year, with some parts driven in the opposite direction to 2015.


Tidemand Pontus - Andersson Jonas "We had a ball-joint failure under braking - we didn't touch anything. It's a shame but it happens. A new day today for us to get experience."

Are we looking down the barrel of a 6th different winner this season (and none of them called Mikkelsen!) and the possibility that Ogier doesn't make the podium?

It seems like organisers' the road order rule is having exactly their desired effect.

Its great for us to have a variety of stage and rally winners, even if its not always the best driver.

If you were team manager and you had to - right now - pick one of these drivers for your WRC team. Who would you pick?

Tidemand
Evans
Lappi
Suninen


For me it's Tidemand.

ill pick Suninen without thinking Twice or even blinking

I didn't write anything about Lappi. I don't understand why Lappi, who crashes probably the most of all top WRC2 drivers shall be a benchmark in this matter. You choose the best to compare with not the worst.

Sat 11:43 - SS12: Ogier
He's through and furious about his start position on the loose gravel stage. "A disaster," he says.

[Lundefaret]

Andreas with a blinder of a time!
