    Nasser has just gone comfortably faster than Munster, in particular, and McErlean in the first pass of shakedown.

    It's getting harder and harder to defend the full-time M-Sport drivers now. How is he so easily quicker with virtually no prior experience of the car. For the record, Martins Sesks set a similar time on his first run!!!

    Well maybe they both were told to bring the car home without SuperRally or too much issues. That drivers will be making errors and they could profit.

    This rally wont be won by the fastest or even smartest. Pure luck. But, as we all know, to win in Rally, you need luck on your side and the ones who are supposed to champions have their champion's luck with them.

    Othar than that: nice stages, just not sure how will they be able to deal with those masses of spectators...

    Nasser is a 20x MERC Champion and 4x Dakar winner. He's no newbie and has vast experience of cars and these conditions. Plus he's nothing to prove here or worry about next season. No wonder he's up on the M-Sport guys.

    Mhm, Yes, I also heard about spectator problem. A lot of rally fans from United states an China has come to event. I heard marshals has ben given permission to shoot on a spot anyone who does not obey.

    Remember - first stage is 20.35 Local time TODAY, not tomorrow on Thursday as usual. So only couple of hours left to make pickems.

    ⚠️ Big impact with a rock for Elfyn Evans on Rally Saudi Arabia shakedown!

    Fortunately the sump guard on his Toyota GR Yaris Rally1 prevented it being anything more than cosmetic damage...
