Today there was no doubt who will win but it was a nice fight between Lappi and Evans. I think Lappi's move to Hyundai has been an inspired one both for him and for the team. Also interesting that Neuville acknowledged Lappi's good contribution to the car setup after saying he couldn't drive Tanak's dampers, turns out it wasn't Neuville deciding everything

Also ironically for Tanak so far this was the rally with the fewest Rally1 problems, but fair play to him he drove hard and did some good times even for the road position, it's actually encouraging for Finland.

The results on EWRC show car #67 Uger/Uger with a 7 minute penalty after SS6 by Stewards' decision but there is no posting of the decision on Sportity. Anybody know the reason? Must be serious for such a large penalty.

Stewards penalty is not correct reason. See here - https://rally-base.com/2023/rally-estonia-2023/penalty/

Anyone knows if someone in modern history (lets say TV era) already won all stages on proper day of rallying in WRC (friday or saturday)? Thanks.
Edit: found for example Loeb in Germany 2008, 13 stages in a row from the start, but the lead was not so big, 43 seconds ahead of Sordo.Last edited by jcevc; 23rd July 2023 at 06:38.

"If you're worried by my time on SS18 then don't be! 😉 There's only one aim today - Powerstage points - so just driving through and looking after the tyres in that one 👍"

Even I can see that, as there's no obligation to enter WRC and do all the rallies. FIA are looking for more WRC manufs/constructor/team entrants, so it's obvious what they will have to do to Rally2....
