[ERC] Rally Sierra Morena 2025

According to all the info I have, there was no rain. Only thing I can imagine is that there was some temperature drop as they start actually ca 2 h later (in the morning it was 2 h and 7 min later, so the last stage should have started at around 19:27) and there were some interruptions in the stage as well (maybe even later then). So, they might have started even later. also the light starts to drop later on (many forest sections on last stage). Finally, Evans and Neuville are running Hankook like Virves, they have only hard and soft option (+ wet). When ground is cooling, I don't know how these tires react, definitely the WRC tires are more for durability than performance.

Strange what happened with Ostberg. A bit of mud in the pedal and he had brakes overheating, talk of turbo issues...

Well, I'm hoping Mabellini can overtake Suarez, but Suarez does look pretty good.

As long as I remember him rallying.. he always has brake problems

More trouble (transmission) for Mads on the final stage, dropping 2 places.

Mabellini wins the last stage, but it's not enough to overtake Suarez. He finishes 4th overall. Still a good rally from him.

Conratulations to Gryazin!

Another great video:

Very tricky roads! On these roads the Rally1 cars are not more entertaining to watch than the Rally2 imo as they have too much grip.

The Citroen looks very neutral, the Skoda twitchier but can carry a lot of cornering speed and the Hyundai looks like it has a lack of grip compared to the other Rally 2s.

They really need to find a way to bottle this and bring it to the official broadcasts. I've just watched the official highlights and they make what was quite a spectacular rally look pretty dull.
