[WRC] Neste Rally Finland 1st-4th August 2019

[Essaj]

Neuville almost 0,5sec/km at stage 1 .

Lost almost all of it on the opening split

[KKS]

New FiestaR5 now really crap +12sec for split1

[tomhlord]

Sure, it's only SS2, but Hyundai looks to lose time to Toyota and Citroen in top speed.

Great first time by Tanak despite road position.
Maybe expected Jari to be a little bit quicker given how far back he is (but good time nonetheless).
Neuville won't be happy at all.
Breen fastest Hyundai despite the car being too soft and great to see Lappi on the pace.
Meeke did a good job having never driven the stage before.

Good to have the WRC back after that summer break, fingers crossed for a great rally with lots of close battles

[KKS]

Pietarinen crashed on a compression after small crest, and than while Camilli passed his car - he cross the road 1sec before rallycar on fullspeed O_o

[KKS]

first split for VWR5 and he was killing fast! Strong engine will payoff on this roads

Fabia R5 evo with new engine looks strong too - surprise to see Loubet ahead of Gryazin otherwise.

I guess that's Pieterainen's chances with Skoda over

It looks like the only thing to beat Toyota this weekend is another Toyota.

Think it will be closer on second passes, but hard to see anyone beating Tanak as it looks now.

The only real surprise so far is Suninen who is a bit slower than expected I'd say. Also not very good from JML given his road position.

Kris can take the fight to Tanak, as long as he doesn't crash...hopefully will stay a clean fight for the most part (if not the entire weekend).
