[WRC] Rally Islas Canarias 2025

If also Rossel Senior wins last stage of the day in RC2 I think we will have for the first time case when all SS were won by same person in rally1 and rally2 on WRC event?

Otherwise the balance of Toyota`s looks amazing, only Katsuta sometimes correcting the car in the (fast) curves, but car looks unbelievably stable.

Toyota's placed 1-2-3-4-5 overall at the end of day one. It must be a long time since one Team did this, if ever.

This has to be the most boring rally ever.

This has to be the most boring rally ever.

It’s certainly not riveting. The fact we have Rally1 Toyota, Rally1 Hyundai and Rally1 Ford classes isn’t helping.
The quality of the Toyota chassis is exposing the others badly here. The updated Hyundai almost looks like what happened with the Citroen C3 WRC. When it was loose and inconsistent at the beginning, it was dynamite on dry tarmac, and when they ‘fixed’ it, the understeer on tarmac was terrible. The Puma looks horrendous, badly balanced, no grip and killing the front tyres. I hope when they look into the carrier bag of set ups tonight they can find something better.

It’s a shame it’s a competition amongst themselves however it’s been mesmerising to watch (kind of makes me wish we’d see Corsica next as back to back).

I’m really wondering what’s the beef between Hyundai drivers and the team. There clearly is something.

I think they are "just" disappointed and frustrated that once again, Hyundai is not up to par with Toyota, and this time it's a very difficult car to balance / setup. Considering last year Hyundai was the closest it has been to Toyota in quite some years, with good speed and good reliability, this year the gap is so much bigger.

It seems definitely more than that.

Seems the team decided something other than the drivers wanted

Ahh I felt the same, bring back TdC!

Lancia finished in the first 5 at 1990 Portugal Rally at the end of the rally. Lancia and Toyota also have first 4 at rally finishes. Mercedes Benz 1st 4 at Ivory Coast 1979.

Well, for sure they gave feedback on how to fix some issues but seems nothing much changed. Do you think Cyril/the engineers ignored the feedback of the drivers because they thought the problem was elsewhere?
