Now Žala sets a 2nd fastest time showing the benefit of a cleaner road.

Much better road position today for @E_Brynildsen... and a much better time ! 4th quickest through ! https://t.co/bU8An6d14w

Brynhildsen is a good example of what the level has been in any toplevel rallying series, 3 months since last time in the car, 1 day testing, then he use first day to find out of settings and pace, when the others are on the pace from start.

Some years ago some drivers could jump in and do decent results, those days are over.

Eurosport comms is getting no better, calling Solberg a Swede and his car a Golf GTI...

Well, he is half swedish actually, his mother is Pernilla, born walfridson. Petter and Pernilla has a house at the boarder between Norway and sweden, one of the stages at rally sweden is really close to this place, oliver was at the school in Torsby to.
So the golf was the most wrong part

What a mess with leg2 starting list...
The organisers put Arai to start 6th despite he finished 8th in the leg and he should have been 3th in starting list.

Of course that is unfair for Alex Tsouloftas, Mares and Habaj who should have a better starting position.
The regulations are clear:
45.4.1 In ERC and ERT, the start order for subsequent Legs shall be based on the classification at the
finish of the final special stage of the previous Leg excluding any super special stage if run at the end of the
Leg.
45.4.2 The first 10 cars in the overall classification will re-start as a merged group in reverse order
according to their classification in Art. 45.4.1. (ERC only)

You were checking old regulations.
Since last year it is: 45.4 START ORDER FOR SUBSEQUENT LEGS The start order for subsequent Legs shall be based on the classification according to stage times at the finish of the final special stage of the previous Leg excluding any time penalties and any super special stage if run at the end of the Leg.

How strange when born in Norway with a Norwegian father.

Wiki also has him as a Norge and eWRC.
