In these fast rallies the hybrid's effect is lower but in other rallies we can see all over again that non working hybrid costs 5-7 seconds per stage.

Exactly. Especially on slow tarmac and even on slow gravel

Whatever. I just throwed in a torch to get people going on this forum...

Saturday points locked after SS15? as last stage is super special(SSS16)..?

Running order for next Day is locked before SSS but saturday points are based on classification after final stage, including penalties accrued.

Fourmaux, the loss is coming because today the starting position is more equal now

**Morte66** · 20th July 2024, 09:03

Pajari is gaining on second place in WRC2, and I'm hoping he'll bag that today, but it's a long way to Solberg after that.

Maybe Evans could gain a place if Fourmaux stays off the boil.

Sesks vs Ogier looks interesting(!).

Tanak doing pretty OK for the circumstances.

Difficult rally for Neuville. But I think of all the times he benefitted from Ogier opening the road over the years, and I shrug.

Rovanpera is the boss.

No torch here, but using same stages or parts of them over and over again ( more than two times), isn´t that making it even more boring...?

Good for spectators live, but...

Repeated stages makes it significantly easier for the organisers, they need to find and close less roads and need fewer marshals (latter is important in rallies where marshals are volunteers and in short supply, like in Finland). Also competitors need less recce but suffer from broken up roads on re-runs.
