He informed last TC that he is DNF, lost only 10min because Super Rally, gained 3minutes compared to real time.
(normally you just don't give your timecard to Marshalls and you are DNF, but now in Covid rules procedure is bit different)

Quite sick. But when making rules they don´t consider these extraordinary circumstances. Stage time is stage time I´d say...

Tänak says the broken radiator was the cause not tyres, there was enough rubber left to get to the tyre zone

To be confirmed but it seems Solberg may finally reach the top-50 cut to be authorized to drive tomorrow (he is 49th now so in top-50 even if Bulacia makes Rally2).
Even in a difficult context, it is still some additional experience to take.

There is NO need to reach the top-50. EVERY P1 driver will be able to start on Sunday. See Bulletin No. 3

Didn't Loix say yes to driving Monte on the condition that he didn't have to do any testing and "that stuff".
So basically what he's run for the last years are no-testing, just rallies.
