WRC Rally Mexico 2019

[EstWRC]

Meeke bettered his morning stage time only by 4 seconds while Ott did 36 seconds

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Evans going well again, not losing much to Tanak.

Faster now !

you stop the next car at the start, send a tow truck on the stage, remove the car and restart the stage.

basically like they do it in almost every rally. if they would cancel a stage each time a car stops on a stage the late starters would not drive a single one.

I have never know a organiser stop a stage, send a tow truck and restart again.

Also, what happens about the cars that are mid-stage?

Ten past nine in the UK... have you been on the booze?

[T16]

Come on Evans.

[EstWRC]

nice run Evans, hats off

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Yesssss Elf !

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Ogier going to monster everyone again.

[Rallyper]

What ?

Barca plays twice every week and we only have 14 WRC rallies in year.

Wrong decision Per !

No because this rally is a joke. Even more now seeing Mikkelsen having to stop and open gate...

[T16]

Wouldn't Evans be leading now, if the stage wasn't stopped earlier? (as in - if Ogier had suffered the full consequences of his puncture)

my experience with Rally Mexico officials tells me they are pretty slow with reactions and/or not always making proper ones (like the jump in Guanajuato, not secured gate, etc) so I believe this was the main reason why it happened so late (red flag decision).
Also Lappi went off some 25kms from the start, so sending some help to recover the car and then restart the stage would take way too much time, minimum an hour but I believe in local conditions closer to two...

Too busy on the Corona's
