There is nothing "on". Fourmaux gets more points from today unless he crashes
The gap has nothing to say at all for Sunday.

But it's old vs new is it? It's old or many other better versions vs this stupid one which has a minor improvement compared to the initial one.

I wonder whether his onboard will be available later.

Onboards are up. It was a good run, looks committed, good rhythm. That's what Pajari looks like when everything clicks, then.

Well blimey. You are right, I was still thinking the old way.

Although I would find it satisfying for him to pass Fourmaux.

I do.
This new system have ruined the full rally. And what's the point in the Fourmaux v Evans battle now?

I was a bit surprised that at no-time was there any warning triangle, or specators trying to warn the drivers? I know that the rear lights could be seen, but yet, it felt unecessary.

Why, what's different for Fourmaux and Evans now?

What are they fighting for? Who will take the 2nd place trophy instead of 3rd, and which side of Lappi they will stand? But I mean, in terms of championship it's pointless. Sunday is what matters there, but that's not a fight between them. The total rally standings are, maybe with the exception of being a "WRC Rally Winner" quite pointless now. Literally.
