[WRC] Rallye Monte Carlo 2021

Check out Neuville onboard from SS9 at 4:38 mark. He actually hit a pole, the speed was low, but his rally could easily ended there.

It was low speed, but he hit the pole after all, so it could be game over.

I find that slightly ridiculous - he managed to get to service - but has to retire.....

Basically he broke the rules by driving on the road section on a broken tyre. If they allowed him to continue just because no one noticed, the rule would lose its effect in the future...

Good for Solberg. At this point and position pushing on some stages where it's not risky is a good idea and just about the only thing he can do.

But generally I think both him and Formaux were a bit over-excited for the snowy stages. Talking about them all week and then on first stage Solberg has a spin right after start and on first snow stage both him and Formaux puncture in first corner.

But 3 stages on a full rallyday is not enough, even if the rally is called Monte Carlo.
should be a min number of ss km per day, or is it?

Yes we know; you don't have to correct everybody all the time. My comment was before seeing the 'tyre' or what was supposed to be a tyre.
However, it's a poorly implemented rule - as it's not stopping people from driving on any road section; which is the reason they brought it in - it doesn't look good to general public.
