Rally Croatia 2022

Inside the Fan Zone, I'd say yes. Of course you can always go to other places, not designated as Fan Zones.

Some Fan Zones may have dedicated parking zones though, all a bit confusing at the moment.

Anyway, can't wait for the show

Thank you, guess we'll try to sneak through the woods. Don't really fancy being boxed in at a rally.

Don´t forget Pickems, guys!

Difficult to predict what's going to happen. In Monte we saw that Hyundais are a bit behind on dry tarmac, but have they progressed? Evans is the favourite but he has a bad starting position on Friday, while conversely Rovanperä is the one with only a bad experience from the rally but the best starting position. Breen and Fourmaux could be strong as well.

Also, we could have some rain on Friday

While I think Breen and Fourmaux could have very good pace I just don't see either putting together top times on every stage and winning the rally right now. I think Evans is favourite giving his pace here last year and Rovanperä possibly second favourite. But as you say AnttiL the big question mark is the Hyundai and whether that brings Neuville and Tanak into contention.

For me the clear favorite is Neuville. He lost the win last year due the wrong tyre choice on Saturday. And he has a excellent starting position on Friday while Evans starts far from back. Even so cause we have a high possibility for rain and we saw last year how dirty the roads can get. The only question about Neuville is the car but I’m sure this time Hyundai is more prepared than for Monte.

Rovanperä, Breen and Tänak are interesting to follow. Kalle has no experience from this apart from couple of kilometers. Breen and Tänak were struggling massively last year with the previous generation Hyundai. Interesting to see how they will do now with the new machines.

Lappi hasn’t been on tarmac for ages. How will he do?

Gonna be a interesting rally I’m sure. Can’t wait already

I think Evans here will not go directly for the win because if he makes another 0 it will destroy chances for WDC almost completely.
From last year recce I remember (it was much more wet dirt on cuts than later on rally) this roads became even more slippery in case of wet pollution (but already in dry is sooo slippy), so in case of rain in Friday first numbers will have big advantage, but + for crews is that first 2 long stages in friday loop are probably the best of whole rally regarding grip and not so much cutting (especially second one).

I will be present on thursday shakedown, later service park, evening ceremonial start and 2 stages on friday, so if anyone here for some meet, just feel free to contact

Driver wise, I agree Neuville is the favourite because of starting position. Car wise though, I'm not sure. Hopefully reliability won't be an issue and he won't be as "terrified" as he was driving in Monte.

If you are going to spectate, I can recommend you totake warm clothes. Today it was really cold weather, with cold wind and rain during later afternoon here in Zagreb...
