[WRC] Vodafone Rally de Portugal 2024

[JRodrigues]

Rally2 is being just as good (even better?) than Rally1. On SS3, top 12 in less than 10s.

[EstWRC]

Very very small gaps like the drivers predicted. This is great

Josh McErlean just 0.1 seconds off the WRC2 stage win in SS3, faster than Toksport team mates Solberg and Greensmith - impressive job.

It seems like the notional times on SS2 will have fucked a lot of people's rally.

[PLuto]

What are they going to do with wrc2 times for ss2?

Giving notional times?

[archie106]

Hopefully those notional times can be re-evaluated according to the pace of each individual crew across the other stages in the loop - should make things fairer. Does anybody know if that approach has been taken before in any other rallies?

Yes, they can change the notional times liter. But personally I dont like this so much - whole day you are fighting with rivals for every second and at the end of the day, from the table, they change times (and order). On the other hand it is bad that notional times were given on SS 2, so there was no comparison with previous stages.

Update: There is also this sentence in CoC notification - These times are subject to being revised after the running of SS 9

Basically zero timeloss for Neuville first on the road.

Evans totally lost.. is it because of Kalle and Ogier both driving or smth else.. that way he can't beat Neuville..

So far fantastic morning from Thierry, only the first one in the morning was litlle wet and damp so turned into his favour.
Later ones adjusted to classic sweeping being first but minimalizing time loss.
Evans not so confident for the morning loop.

No punctures in R1 yet?

[Rallyper]

Neuville will loose a lot in the next 2 stages

Doesn´t look like that...
