This is correct. Plus the Puma's reliability has also been sorted... and that of Fourmaux.

A bit more money for testing and they could be better still.

First one... shows exactly as above and what happens if you get it wrong !

Disappointing situation for Virves, he has worked a lot to drive these rallies and a podium would have been nice. Fortunately the speed is there and he is able to compete with the top of the field. The lack of seat time makes his speed I think even more impressive.

I hope this has a positive effect with funding and he will get more rallies in the future. He still is 2022 JWRC champion and should not sit at home.

angry Juho is the best during the interviews. he and latvala are such characters!

oh... and of course Pajari is not on the title fight or whatever, but its really cool to see him on the top5 after all those retirements! consistency is something really important and I hope he has that too!

Disaster of a rally for Estonians. Tänak off, Jürgenson off, Jeets retired already after shakedown and Virves losing his podium with the bonnet problem.

Linnamäe so and so

Spot of the day...

Some choice of PS. Last 2/3 not good for spectators, not good for cameras and with banners meters into the road on the outside of corners. Final corner 40 kph between solid bareers.
