    Clearly he's very fast on asphalt, as we saw from Canarias. He can't have just forgotten how to drive on gravel, it must be the balance and the set up of the hybridless + Hankook tyres. Others adapted better, Kalle and Neuville not so much...

    no Oli eh? such a shame, man.
    Taka is not perfoming well enough over these years to justify his seat in the top team. i wonder how long toyota will keep him just because thats how japanese mentality works.
    i find it cool, sure, but he is not that good, sorry :/

    It has been really dry in Finland and looks like it stays like that before the rally.

    Cleaning usually not that big of a deal there, but this year might be worse than years before?

    yeah surviving mode like always for first runners on friday

    will be interesting to see how Tänak manages it, he was good in 2019 even when first on the road but that was with Toyota which has always been good in low grip conditions while its Hyundais weakest point

    have they managed to fix that problem with the new chassis like they intended to, we will find out on friday.

    More and more rain and thunder appearing on my forecasts apps. Frustrating for Evans, first event he is not cleaning and it could be already wet

    Evans will be praying for rain, there will still be a lot of cleaning running second car.
