[WRC] Tour de Corse 2019

[greencroft]

Great day today and especially for Elfyn. I really hope he can keep this performance up as he is in big need of a boost this season.

Who remembers Antony Warmbold being caught on stage by another Ford driver (Duval? 2004 maybe?) - the only technology they had then to tell him was a mobile phone and he told his co-driver to turn it off before he realised at stage end that it was a team-mate behind him.

Well for me it's kind of a bigger surprise how slow Ogier was today than how fast Evans was.

After all Evans has shown good speed on tarmac multiple times before. (Spain and Monte (a few stages) last year, Monte year before... 2nd place in Corsica in 2015 (not all was rain) etc.).

Yep, seems Citroen have dropped the ball big-time with the C3 on their home rally.

With theirs and Ogier's history on Corsica that's quite incredible.

Glad to see @ElfynEvans & @scottmartinat given a fair time after we unintentionally held them up on last stage today. Hold my hand up, it was my fault, apologies. Despite some good speed it’s been a tough day at the office. #sorrylads @OfficialWRC @MSportLtd @TGR_WRC @krismeeke

Saturday with 174 stage kms..

Yeah. It means one leg of stages is 87 km. The rules normally restrict leg distance to 80 km. Tyre management will be crucial.

I predict Ogier to gain substantial time back, he has been known for being the best at tyre management...

Well even just keeping his afternoon pace he should get to 4th without issues. Might be hard moving further up though.

Wonder what Loeb does, after being basically the slowest WRC on 3 stages he started to improve on the last two, will it continue or was it just a fluke?

He just said that he will test new things tomorrow because he hasnt anything to fight for.

Lappi didnt seem very hopeful for finding a solution for tomorrow.

Molly: "Will you watch videos and making corrections for tomorrow?
Elena makes big eyes: "MEEE? Noooo, im finished today, to sleep"
