[WRC] Safari Rally Kenya 2024

[TypeR]

According to startlist, Lappi is starting tomorrow and followed by Tanak.

the only thing i see that is big enough is the dark stone on the left, but that means he also hit the "10" sign and cut way too much.
or am i missing something?

Did this rock just appear for Tanak or did the previous drivers avoid it keeping to the right of the marker ?

So Safari is harder on the transmission because there is more slip than "usual"? Is that a correct assumption?

If there is anything I appreciated today, it was FX Demaison's honest interview on DirtFish.
His perspectives were enlightening and frankly a tad too honest, I felt.
We now know how limiting the rules are, jokers aside. Also, how critical the initial design phase is if you are to build a successful vehicle.

It looked to me he was much more to the middle of the road than that. It almost looked like the outside, loaded up front wishbone dug in and it lifted the car and sent him into the bank and finished him off.

Like he said in that video.. either drive over the rock and see what happens next or avoid the rock and go straight off. He chose 1st one. Also there wasn't any ,,too much'' cutting..

They should have said it before the rally. I would have made different Pickems

Hahah, I put them both 6-7

Tänak kept it to the right of the marker

By now Tanak has a very long history of cars breaking at the front end due to "bad luck". Yaris, Puma, i20, doesn't matter.

Sure sometimes there is some luck involved but his driving style and particularly his "dive in" front-end setup with front bumper scratching the ground also likely plays a role. Last year both Neuville and Lappi even commented on it. (setting the car so soft it always "crashed trough").

Here the launch up was certainly more massive than what would seem normal.

Third year of these cars and still such problems.. argh.

Sound really ,,promising'' for them.

About Lappi's and other Hyundais..


Seems like Tanak's manu points don't matter..

I don’t understand whole this. So, they just strengthend the propshaft and forgot to improve gearbox? And how it can be, that the gearbox suddenly became so weak? Didn’t they recognised the problem before? They use this gearbox already third year.
