[WRC] Wales Rally GB 2019

[mknight]

The road book has three big dots and one smaller, not sure what's the difference, but otherwise the layout is the same.

The small dot marks the finish (compare with the STOP just below). So 3 bales in roadbook 4 bales in reality. If you count from right you have bale-finish-bale-(the road you should drive) and then 2 bales on left instead of one.

EDIT: As to the layout, the bale you should drive around on the left side is in the middle between the two finishing bales (just like in roadbook). The "extra" one to the left is behind the left side bale.

Huh, that's definitely not how the chicane looked ... for any of the cars.

There are 3 bales and 2 "roads" in the roadbook. If you read it from left you should go left after the first bale. If you read it from right you should go second from right.

In reality there were 4 bales and 3 "roads". So those that read if front left were correct and those that read it from right were also correct.

Hence I can't see any penalties getting handled. Quite big messup from the organizers both on the idea of putting the finish in a chicane and then messing it up.

we have 4 bales on roadbook and 4 bales in reality. What wrong? From roadbook you should past two first opposite bales and than keep left on last two

I have a feeling the afternoon will be quite eventful

Right, so actually it appears that Ogier et al drove the correct path

And awesome awesome stages. This is proper Wales.

If you look from left (go left after first bale), then the other 3 drove "correct" hence there is no clear answer and no penalties to anyone.

For my Finnish translated route preview of the day the editor in chief interviewed Lappi and asked for his comment about the Colwyn Bay stage

"Even a simpler person can do well there, you won't need pace notes there"

Lappi and Tidemand are about equal now at split 3
