Is there a cleaning? I think so. Being later on the road means that you don't have that slippy and muddy surface, you have more like rails and dirt

Seems there were some issues with the official timing, nothing to do with the virtual chicane.

Evans 1st run was 2.17.0
Ogier 1st run was 2.16.6

Yes, some cleaning but not as bad as the last two gravel rallies.

Neuville will lose less time and should have at least Munster ahead of him on Saturday.

Taka was a nice surprise

Yee-haa !

From what was explained, thee tracking box in the car tells them when they've slowed enough with the big green light.

so it's not THAT hard for a bunch of multi-million euro a year drivers to get right...

Are they the best drivers in the world or not?

Should be doable for them, but I'd still rather see them navigating through a chicane.

On SD the comms said that the bales can get hit and moved and some later driver's get an advantage.

If virtual chicanes allow for the use of stages like Ouninpohja, I'm all for them. They don't affect the experience for spectators, don't change difficulty for drivers, and don't compromise safety.

It also reduces the chance of clipping bales e.t.c. and causing unnecessary damage.

[denkimi]

Chicanes usually add nothing, and VC are even worse. Let drivers drive the stages like they are. If the rules make a certain stage impossible, we just have to change the rules.

what a moron.

Hyundai fined 5000 euros for speeding. Mechanic was trying Tanak's cars wipers, 172kmh in 100kmh zone..

Because they had problems in Latvia.. let them do another run of SD or what ever.. They have base in Finland for what..?

But give a car to mechanic, who goes almost full speed on public road.. with Tanak's ,,luck'' I'm surprised the car wasn't crashed or smth..
