[ERC] Tet Rally Liepāja 2023

I see Østberg isn't happy at all. And he cant blame the tyres as the leader is on MRFs too.


"I don't have any grip - I don't know what to do to be honest because we are really soft on the car, on the limit to be undriveable. We are at the limit - I just don't know what to do."

Rossel had some similar problems with the C3 too.
Have they done some updates on diffs or something this season?

Really? Watched 3 stages yesterday and SS7 today which was utterly boring which just straights basically

I hope they will find more spectacular stages for WRC round next year

I think many would say the same for those wanabe finland artificial jumps built for rally est.😁

But in general, this is also right - those old, traditional rally roads in west lat had become too easy for todays cars. If you must make a chicane for Rally 2 car, then already wrong.

I was watching it more like "oh, nice, now just put Rally1 to it".

I hope they make notes on the dust issue for next year.

Who took over development role from Mads a couple of seasons ago?
I remember Mads had a goal to meke the car as drivable for many driving styles, not sure if that line of philosophy is still the same.
French drivers born and bread on asfalt, tend to prioritize that, and you might loose out on gravel.

Maybe, i don't know.

Seems the C3 has lost something on loose surface, it was quite ok some years ago.

Mads is probably one of the better development drivers on loose surface, why would Citroën put in a tarmacdriver to do the development on loose?

Brynindsen is a very good expert commentator!
Good and experienced current Rally2 experienced, and have been driving in both ERC and WRC for many years, and still looks like 19!

Is Paddon stopped? No split time and based on maps he is not moving. No info from coverage.

edit: now there split time and he is moving. Just Maps issue.

"WRC for many years" is a overstatement, but I agree with rest of it.

BRC Champion Osian Pryce is really struggling. I wish he was running in the VW Polo he was used to and maybe get a better road position to show his true pace.

"I don't think anybody back home appreciates the level - back home you'd be clear ahead on any rally. I thought we were making progress but we're going backwards again, its a vicious circle."
