Fuck me, Toyota has a nightmare. I'll hop on the Meeke wagon for now

That's a bold strategy, Cotton.

Go Kris!

Well, the Toyota's engine and pace would be scary for others, if they would be able to do two stages in a row without problems.

the gods of wrc just don't want ogier in a ford to have a regular propper challenge :D
last year when neuville was finally in the lead he made some mistakes / the car broke down where others pass through
this year when tanak seemed really on pace and dominated argentina and could done a similar result the engine ruins the chance
3
Well, I really like Tanak, but can't really feel bad about M-Sport's luck, since they've been so unlucky several times in the Loeb era and before that as well.
2
Oh sure, I share the same feeling. I was happy with the tittles they got last year. They deserved them.

There goes the M-Sport luck lol

i think toyota is cursed right now

2 videos of what caused Tänak's retirement. Neuville had some luck, Tänak didn't.

It's a bit unfair to move the rock after Tanak. This is part of the rally. So either remove it after every driver, or don't remove it at all.

I think it'd be unfair not to move it after Tanak. Nobody wants to see more drivers caught out like that. They should have moved it as soon as they saw it, but I'm glad no other driver hit it hard.

But it would have been better to move it before Tanak

Its all good saying it is a part of rallying. It is.
But when obvious shit, that can be moved, starts destroying cars .... its time to do something about it.

Sure, thats why they should have move it right after Neuville.
2
Poor form, the marshals should have moved it straight away. We’re all fans of the sport and we don’t want to see unnecessary retirements.

Ogier just went off, unrecoverable
Edit: He hit something one turn prior, lost steering.
5
Ogier only 7 seconds off the lead with 3 stages completed is pretty good for the morning
3
I really want Paddon to do well here. He's proven to be a quality driver stuck in a big rut, and this is potentially the perfect rally for him to get out of it.

Friday has gotta be the most dramatic day in a looong time. Absolute carnage!

Ott is out with engine problems :(
Latvala stopped now too. Not a good day to be a Toyota fan
Yeah...after the win in argentina and the promising first stage i was just starting to look forward to a 3 way battle for the championship :(
