Can anyone explain why Evans didn't be slow when sweeping road and the driver start later don't have the advantage ? Is that because Evans too fast or the gravel more wet than usual

Not sure if Hyundai has made a step with the new upgrades or not but seems actually they have

Why I’m not sure cause the Toyota guys are kinda struggling at the moment with feeling and tires and have worst starting position compared to Hyundai guys.

I guess we will be smarter once they have service and they can make setup changes.

Rules are clear, Friday starting order is always on championship order. Organisers do not have leeway.

Top 6 all in 7sec, that's how it should be

Nice battle in Rally 2, top 8 within 14 sec

More wet gravel I guess. And tyrechoice as well.

Yeah right, except when it's not. Especially on Monte

Good to see the Hyundai's fighting at the front. Hopefully it keeps going this way!

I know they are a little further back but it's a great battle between the Ford's, very tight.
They are playing the long game with the tyres, would be great to see it pay off.
