Stage 7 was delayed by 45 minutes to clear the road from accidents during first pass. Besttime for Neuville but only with 0,8 margin

I wonder if they are running with turbo restrictors when?

I don't know why but they have also very bad starting position.

It's a lot about driving the same stages over and over again in the local championships. It's nearly everywhere the same when foreigners come to unknown events for them (in countries with strong local rally scene). In the events where foreigners already have some experience the local dominance usually vanishes even though they sure keep respectable level (Sardegna, Rome, Sanremo).

It's not only about pacenotes. Each events has somewhat specific character and what makes the difference is things like more perfect setup when you come for the second or third time. You have better experience about how to select tyres, how they get worn, how not to overheat brakes etc.
