[WRC] Vodafone Rally de Portugal 2018 (18/21-May)

[mknight]

Meeke puncture running in highway. No spare tyres to SSS?

No spares, he had delaminated tire from the stage. So yeah wonder what happens in SSS.

please Neuville, don't do a remake of Sweden 2017 in the SSS... (although i secretly hope he screw up again as Ogier is off)

Appart from missing half of the stopped cars here they also watched Mikkelsens first 30s in stage where he was breaking 50 meters ahead of the usual spot on every corner and didn't use handbrake or go sideways on 2 (almost) hairpins and declared his powersteering was fine.

You expect too much them to analyze everything on the moment. They make some mistakes, also with split times, but Porter is doing fine job in general.

Tell someone to Jon that capital of Portugal is Lisbon, not Porto.

So Suninen and Ostberg are now like 26 minutes behind? Is that the definitive time they get?

I hate the doughnuts on the SS stage.
I hate the whole concept of the SS stages full stop.
“Bring it to the people, let them see rallying up close”
Absolute BS.... give them no choice but to go see it in the forests and be blown away by what these guys do. Watching it go past on a narrow cobbled street doesn’t convey the sport in its true light at all.
I just can’t see the benefit.

That's their stage time, but the stage was canceled.

btw, I think the rock Tanak hit was avoidable. Just bad judgment I guess.

Neuville & Sordo are on "slicks". They should be quick
