[WRC] Rally Turkey Marmaris 2019

[Rallyper]

ridiculous stage with football size stones on the road and wrc2 guys with so many punctures already.. No wonder, that so few entries to this rally..

If I remember right, after last year, discussion went on about Turkey. Many of you guys said this is also what it should be.

I definately didn´t like the rally last year and not this year as well.

Being asked, I think none of the drivers liked the ruff conditions...

And yet still the commentators or stage end reporter dont say anything, I reckon they've been more or less gagged from talking about it in depth

That's very much my view as well.

FIA is trying to cover their messup with rules/rule enforcement.

Position changes so far (I'm graphic-addicted...):

Heavy clouds look ominous...

Heavy clouds look ominous...

But will they burst? Some drivers need this rain and it has to come now...

Again amazing battles, the groups of P2-P4 and P5-P7 within two seconds

Kopecky and Kajto with punctures too?

Kopecky with puncture on SS5. Kajto - I don't know. His stage time looks quite good...

They both have some interesting comments about this stage:

Kajetanowicz:
"It's hard to drive - it's not normal rally driving. It is like a slalom on a straight road!"

Kopecký:
"It can happen anywhere - I think that these stages should only be run once."
Czech version is different - it contains a comparison to Dakar Rally
"Ten defekt se může stát kdekoliv. Taková zkouška by se měla jet jenom jednou, teď je to na auta pro Dakar.!
