    apparently a lot of the punctures happened together with cracked rims. I suppose the tires can't be blamed for punctures if the hit is so hard that the rim breaks.
    You know, when there is no more rubber and you drive until the end of stage with rim or pieces of rubber still left, rim tends to break as well

    Hyundai will not appeal to Neuville's speeding penalty

    It has not been noticed I think (or I miss it) but it is podium number 52 of Neuville in WRC: he ties with Solberg in 10th position all-time.
    The other drivers he could catch this season:
    - Auriol (9th with 53)
    - Alen (8th with 56)
    Complicated to catch Gronholm this season (7th with 61)

    The next active driver (not being Ogier or Loeb) is Sordo with 51
    Tanak a little far with 35

    Teams defend Pirelli over Croatia puncture situation

    Tires were a big talking point after several drivers picked up multiple punctures

    Some drivers told: "I am happy I dont need to use Pirelli tyres on my way back home from the event."

    I assume they were using very low tire pressures on this event since it was so slippery?
    Which again caused some of tires off the rim

    Of course they defend Pirelli; as an official supplier, it's best not to say anything bad.

    Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

    They can explain all they want.....Rally cars have been cutting on Tarmac events for years, I don't recall so many issues.
