Wrc Deutschland 2017

Great job from Mikkelsen today as well!

I remember him driving here on Barum with totally weird lines but maybe that time it had a lot to do with DMack form in that time.

yeah, he later admitted in an interview that he had to drive that sideways to keep the heat in the tyres or something like that.


Amazing day from Mikkelsen! really good to see him on the top!

I think he did well in Germany and France in 2011 (?) in the old S2K Fiesta. He's always been good on asphalt.

Perhaps but for the past 2 seasons (2015-2016) he hasn't shown great pace on Tarmac but this year, I'm glad it's working out for him. Well done to Malcolm Wilson for sticking his neck out for his drivers.

Mikkelsen beat Meeke (with same road position) by 55.4s and Breen by 59.5s. I was expecting him to be fastest of them based on previous experience and performance in germany but not by that much.

It's a combination of new codriver, experience, car developed for him, which gives him huge confidence boost. Tänak had been ok on tarmac, but never that good. Enough praise, still two days to go.

Looks like Meeke just give up.

in 2015 he was just rusty because he hadnt been competing on tarmac for 2 years with a WRC machine (remember he was dropped for 2013 and in 2014 competed in WRC2). and last year he was with Dmacks and i think that says it all.


but yeah, enough praise, long way to go.

Well done by Tanak, but my surprise for today is Mikkelsen. Didnt expect that pace, he seems on the mission or something.

Drivers were complaining about this stage already yesterday, 3 times run with 2 laps giving some 300 cars that have run trough the stage since morning.

Nothing wrong with the road, it's the drivers that don't judge the conditions properly (little polish de javu).

Honestly he's amazed me today, this is a man who hasn't bettered a 6th place in a Tarmac rally (Monte is tarmac but it was snow covered this year so...) and now he is leading!! Most Impressive!!!

Well, today is like Monte in Germany. Let see what the boy can do tomorrow against Mikkelsen.
