WRC Croatia Rally 2021

Just checked the road book. Never seen so many cut protections...huge disappointment from spectator point of view.

not on all stages/roads though. I would say Rally Finland has had similar amount or even more.

so this means the guys from the back wont have so much disadvantage on first pass?

cause if i look at the pics so far and testing vids it could get pretty messy with cutting.

Yes, it should reduce road pollution. There's also curbs or other obstacles in some corners, but maybe 50% of corners will still get dirty.

Rally will probably be held without spectators since the pandemic situation is worsening by each day. Handball championship is postponed for a month and a half and spectators on live events are nowehere near to happen. Too bad but at least the rally is gonna be held.

M-Sport's Rich Millener says the upgraded Fiesta engine for Rally Croatia should help in the faster sections...

Hey guys. Any news about the covid restrictions in Croatia? Still planned with spectators?

[Pršljen]

Stages are placed in three counties and the restrictions differ by the county. Organizers said that Zagreb county where most of the stages take place will allow spectators and the other two are yet to be determined. Hopefully and most likely, it will be allowed. After all, rally is held in the open and it's easy to keep distance between the spectators.

Croatia' covid measuers are usually very liberal compared to other European countries and it should remain so. Also, as I already mentioned, few poeple live in the area close to stages so that's another important factor.

Difficult to predict what happens. New rally, new tires, new drivers in new cars. Ogier is always strong in every rally, Neuville is good on tarmac. Tänak, Breen and Evans are more of question marks, although Tänak has won three times Rally Deutschland, Breen is an Irish rally champion and Evans is known to be good on tarmac. How do they fit in their new cars? Hyundai on tarmac for anyone else than Neuville and Sordo? And yeah, Kalle was able to beat Kopecky in Bohemia, and has the best start position, as the roads will likely get polluted.

Has Kalle ever competed in Barum Rally? You probably mean Bohemia?
