WRC Rally Sweden 2020

and Breen goes fastest so far - sort of understand why

Evans and Ogier even faster. I don't understand if they have only one set of tyres, how they can go faster anymore

But only one set of tyres to use today.

My understanding is that they can use as many tyres as they want to today.

The tyres for Shakedown are not included in the restricted number of tyres for the event. They are outside the 'package'.

[drive]

they dont loose much studs (over 7km), but find 'confidence' where to push a bit more. From seeing state of SD from the video, only in some places gravel is a bit 'ripped off', in those places is less grip, in general - there is a loads of grip. Just need not to overpush

Rovanperä now fastest...clearly the drivers have now fresh tyres on with the times getting better.

Seeing quick clips on ig it looks like Rally Finland with some weird filter.

Remember Audi Quattros ate tyres. Blomqvist had no studs in front after half stages and full icy conditions... Back in the 80´s...

So just adapt. (Or Adapta, like Mads should say...)

Correct.

I watched the preview programme and there were loads of clips of previous events where the roads were just black (ie gravel had come through).

SD4 - Kalle now goes 3.5s faster !

One difference is that Finland has more sharp crests and jumps, although the shakedown stage has some of that stuff.
