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

I know but shouldn't they get more representative times? It was hardly their fault that the stage was cancelled.

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.

Look at this side - where else they will see Meeke throwing sparks driving on 3 tyres and a rim, hmmm?

It's just an automated system. Will be fixed.

Tanak also lost damper oil in Argentina and I think Latvala did at some point before.

I hate the doughnuts on the SS stage.
I hate the whole concept of the SS stages full stop.

sss are not for the rally fans. they are for people who want to go out on friday evening, drink some beer, and see cars passing by while they get drunk. its not about being blown away, its about socializing.

sss are a good idea, since they attract lots of people who otherwise wouldn't even consider watching rally. people who perhaps even wouldn't know there's a rally going on.

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

lol

The only bad judgement is you thinking he could have avoided it.
