Yaris stalls at a junction/hairpin?!? Never seen that before.

it was because he couldnt see anything with lights showing nowhere


i remeber in 2017 he also had bad night stages because of the lights, with fiesta that time

Colin: Why did the engine stall?
Ott: Because the engine stalled.

"The engine stopped! I had no lights, they were pointing to the top of the trees and I just missed it." / "Na horizontu světla svítila nahoru a já minul zatáčku, motor zhasl."

Rain is getting much heavier

This bit was interesting

Let’s see what the weather does. If it does rain, it can be more consistent and wash [the mud off] the road – and if the sun comes out, the grip can get worse and it can be the most tricky.

as it seems we're in for a rainy morning but a non-rainy afternoon.

Petter on Pirellis in a wet GB, rings a bell.

It's quite a good stage but it really should've been run in daylight for fans & viewers benefit.

Shakedown back to Llandudno and onto Liverpool could've been done by early afternoon... then started Oulton Park by 4.30pm.

All rallies always start at the same time. Also, there’s media stuff during the day plus recceing of the super special

Had an ok day watching RGB today - didn't start well when Police closed the Wallasey tunnel while I was driving through it. I sat in there for an hour before they reopened it, which meant I was late arriving to shakedown and had a longer than planned walk all the way up to the stage, only arriving at a 90R just as Tanak started the stage. The action was good, though I can see from the videos linked earlier that there were better spots if I'd had more time to explore.

In the afternoon I went to watch the ceremonial start - not usually my kind of thing, but I live in Liverpool and the office where I work is only 500m from the rally start - so it felt quite surreal watching the cars drive across the road and park up at the place where I often go for a walk in my lunch hour! Went onto the rooftop balcony of the Mersey Ferries building (for the cost of a Pepsi in their bar) to get some panoramic photos, though unfortunately the sun had gone in by then.

Dyfnant tomorrow I think - can't be bothered getting up at 3am to do Elsi first (and get soaked in the process), so I'll probably just stay in Dyfnant all day and have a walk through the stage between runs.
