Mikkelsen technical problems already...

Edit: "Empty of fuel..."

Let´s hope Hyundai measured wrong volume only on one car, then.

Kajito is so weird

I have to agree. Never quite worked out whether it's an attempt at humour, which gets watered down by culture/language differences. Or whether it's a driver who is bored he can't quite compete with the best in his category???

Probably a fuel pump or surge problem on Mikkelsen's car.

Nice stage win by Fourmaux for M-Sport.

It's clear that if nothing happens to Neuville, he'll get the title. No way he doesn't get at least 6 points, even cruising around.
But if something does happen that causes a DNF without super rally, then Tanak should be able to take it. He needs 25 points and with no Neuville and no Kalle, he has only Evans and best buddy Ogier to think about. I hardly see Fourmaux or Katsuta staying ahead of Tanak.
After so many years, I can hardly envision Neuville being champion, even though he deserves it. So my prediction is Neuville DNF due to technical trouble, Tanak gets the title and some fans will say that a driveshaft failure or a fuel pump failure was the driver's fault

Its the last rally this year but a few posts here.

A fuel surge issue caused drama for Andreas Mikkelsen & Torstein Eriksen on SS1.

You seem to forget that Hyundai wants manus title. In case there is DNF for Neuville, I think there are some messages going to Tänak to get the manus title home. From Hyundai point of view it does not matter who wins the drivers title as it is their driver anyway.

Time-zone mismatch for europeans. Also I was not ready to discover, that the first stage is already Thursday lunchtime and missed my pickems...
