What happened to Armstrong? Technical or mistake?

Accident at 0.7km according to https://ewrc-results.com/event/96179...results/505371 but I didn't catch what happened.

Does super sunday points count on all participants overall or every class have their own?

It's everyone in the rally.

Of course overall. No class points, only overall.

McErlean continues and Munster wasn't nominated anyways.

McErlean retired...

McErlean retired...

So Matteo Fontana is the most successful Ford river in this rally?

Thanks for a info. Some story here. Rally3 car appear on WRC overall board. It will be such an embarassment if anyone from regural WRC field would be somehow on lower points overall at the end of a season as this Rally3 driver.

Regarding Armstrong. They only reported it was stopped at the start of stage. Then showed really bad replay with worst possible replaying speed in another car's onboard showing Armstrong parked on one of excursion zone on a hairpin. And that was it. Again well done RallyTV crew on missing the action completely. While McErlean got so much coverage, while he was fighting for not being last or something.

I don't understand why they whine constantly how it's hard to cover all, while there would be quite simple solution to this. Make a platform where fans could upload videos and some stuff would then choose what would be replaying on RallyTV action. For so many years fans do proved that they are doing way better job as official RallyTV crew.

Fourmaux will win PS by a mile cause Toyotas don’t have non studs with them

I don't think that will be the option, the climb will still be icy, no?

PS.Back in the day I think you had to go over 60/80 degrees Celsius and cool down to below 40 before the rubber cracked and the collar snapped.
When Kullæng beat Blomqvist in 1980 he said his victory was mainly due to the fact that he had a friend who had cycled countless times on frozen water to have perfect tires for the long stage on Saturday/Sunday night, 43k.
Maybe this is still necessary with the FIA ​​studs regulation, Oliver's explanation suggests I might be right.

So what you are saying is that with a heat/cooling down cycle the collar snaps and allows the studs to protrude further out of the tyre and making them longer?

I'm confused because your first post on this topic sounded like it is about stud retention rather than stud "length".

Ah I thought I missed it, but the bad onboard was all we got...

But then it'll encourage and approve of common spectators standing in stupid places.
