[WRC] Acropolis Rally 2026

[Rallyper]

Once again: Those tires are not made for this kind of conditions

I guess ni tyre is.

As I said...

Puncture lottery ruining this great rally.

In terms of Super Sunday, this must be the most weird weekend of the year. The gaps are big and those chasing championship points must be scratching their heads ahead of the power stage.

Oliver has no option but to go all out while Evans must be tempered somewhat. He can't afford to throw it all away. Ogier has done enough already. An extra point may come in handy. Neuville can't risk any more punctured tyres. So that's it for him. I guess.

Which leaves Fourmaux and maybe Oliver to scrap it out on the power stage Though, I would'nt be surprised to see P1 go to a certain Frenchman driving a Yaris!!!

Bring back mousse tyres for the Sunday?

[Fast Eddie WRC]

I guess no tyre is.

Look at the chunk out of that wheel...

[Ferranis]

Bring back mousse tyres for the Sunday?

Does anybody know what the mousse was discarded in the past? Kind of an obvious mitigation to punctures

[240RS]

Hyundai have made a decision to retire Dani Sordo before the power stage. Imagine how daft that will look if Adrien or Thierry bin it now!!!

They should have done so AFTER the stage, I would imagine

[focus206]

"Hyundai Shell Mobis WRT has elected to retire car #6 of Dani Sordo from the Acropolis Rally. The decision has been taken as a strategic measure to optimise the team's preparation and provide the greatest possible flexibility ahead of the upcoming fast gravel rallies."

What advantage does that give them?

[becher]

I think a new engine?

[WRCStan]

Can't do that kind of strategy move for new engine after the ps any more.
