nice pace from Tanak.For sure tyres helped,but imho with Michelins wouldn't be so different.
Ogier master,well deserved win,no mistakes.
Meeke,ok he hadn't got good starting position,ds3 maybe isn't among best cars at GB mud,but his pace was slow.Didnt wait that he would be out of podium reach/fight.
Neuville,another rally with good pace,seems that he is steadily fast and no mistakes.Thats good,we need top players.
Paddon ,a good rally,he was pushing ,he avoided mistakes at difficult circumstances.
Sordo,didnt surprise me,expecting pace.
Ostberg,what to say...
Mikkelsen,not fast,waiting more at this surface.
Latvala.As a mate said,year by year seems slower and out of pace.
Camilli,not progress,but I will wait for his second year.
Breen.nice pace for the 4 stages he was into the rally.Acceptable mistake for me.
Lappi excellent rally,he made difference and controlled easily after.Third rally win in a row.
Abbring,to many mistakes.Pitty,he could give us a nice fight with the other 3 top contenters.

Congratulations to car 221. A WRGB finish is normally special enough, but this is the icing on the cake. Jubilee clip ring! �� �� #WRGB #WRC

Looks like already water leak and suspension components failure problems are solved by Hyundai in their R5 cars.
Off on SS1 in GB wasn't the fault of Abbring, it was unlucky tire valve which broke.
Second day was total disaster with propshaft failure before first stage of the day.
3rd day was good at the beginning, then small off and broken suspension on last stage.
His earlier performance this year in WRC car is hard to judge speed wise, as car was often in some "strange" specs.

Would love to have seen Tidemand's power stage, presume it wasn't shown?

propshaft?! probably because of off from 1st day?

Don't think so honestly... strange failure.

When Abbring wasn't crashing his times were more impressive than with the old Hyundai World Rally Car.. maybe because he was the test driver for the R5 he is more comfortable with it.

What if that's why he crashed again after just few short stages?

Don't think so honestly... strange failure.

I remember quite a few broken propshafts from Fabia S2000 (in 2010) with way less torque and several from Pech's Mini RRC so while it's not so common issue it still happens from time to time. Likely material issue.

The team said they thought it failed because it was damaged from trying to get out of the ditch on ss1 didn't they? They probably have more idea about it than us.

propshafts or halfshafts Mirek?
