[WRC] COPEC Rally Chile 2019

im really loving what ive seen so far, like you guys said, proper fast, flowing, very nice looking stages.


Since its a new rally i dont know what to predict here, Toyotas should be very good on these type of stages and Hyundai maybe struggling a bit?

I just really dont know.

Exciting!

Exactly. I would also think it will be slippery for the first cars with no rain all week, but difficult to know how damp it will be in the forests. And Fords should suit this event, having even tested in similar conditions.

Nueville will struggle... Loeb not a big fan of fast rallies (ie Finland). I think Hyundais might struggle, but you never know. Toyota's will do well along with MSport. I'm curious how Citroen will do... Mads did well in Finland last year.

With the cleaning I think Loeb and Mikkelsen will be huge challengers for the win, or should be.

Just because Hyundai aren't great in Finland means nothing in terms of this event. In other fast gravel events (and Sweden) they've been on the pace, like Wales, Poland, Australia etc. Portugal is nice and flowing in places as well and they've gone well there too. Finland is unique

SS2. Lost in words really. Just an amazing stage. Wow! There was something that reminded me about New Zealand, something of Australia, something of Finland and also GB. An amazing stage. Now even more im just kicking myself. #wrc #chile #rally

SS3 continues the same, surface changes many times and also grip level because of this. There was some fog today, would make it even more interesting. #wrc #chile #recce

Some rain forecasted for Thursday! could be enough to pack the loose gravel with some sections already being damp.

Shows a bit rain on thursday to SS1 on friday. So i bet we will see a bit damp conditions for first pass.

it just all comes together this year for Neuville, isnt it ?

Stages and scenery look absolutely beautiful. Can't wait for this rally to start.

Would be a shame if the rain comes, was sort of hoping to see a bit of cleaning so the likes of Loeb/Lappi/Latvala etc could get right up the front and challenge for a great result. Maybe they'll do that anyway
