[WRC] Rally Argentina - 26/29 April 2018

[KKS]

Seems like yesterday Škoda wanted its crews to simply cruise through but Kalle didn't like that. Honestly I can understand that considering his age.

Greensmith in trouble. Veiby back to third.

Any sanction team will provide for that? restricted WRC2 rounds or so?

no, he had a problem, you could see he was very angry and said he will tell later...and he was looking at the display...

i suspect the engine is overheating again or the handbrake didnt work because i didnt see using it.

I think you're reading too much into it.

Yep, My estimation was completely wrong, I had expected that after some rain, terrain to be more packed even rocky but from times and drivers comments they are sliding everywhere

Probably my estimation was bias as I have memories of once going in same direction as this year (Copina to El Condor) being 5 people in a 80cv car, it really needed power!!

PS I'm thinking whether for such young drive like Kalle it even makes any sense to try to keep him following team orders. He has a big potential to be a future winner and in my opinion it's maybe better to simply let him go for it all the time no matter what. I think that for the future they should rather develop his killer instinct instead of training the tactical skills.

Will Rovanperä even do enough events for a WRC2 campaign? It makes sense for Tidemand to win..

But for what? Marketing is fine but they didn't sign Kalle for WRC2. They will need him in the future in the best possible shape so why not to let him try to win? There is no risk. They will win WRC2 anyway no matter with which driver.

So far he is allowed to drive only 6 events. After Argentina the next will be in Finland. Then GB, Spain and Australia if Skoda will compete there.
