You provoked them well, thank you

At least Brynildsen is now in the box, usually nice to hear the comments.

Yes, it works well if all the guys are doing full-season. If guys like Ogier are handicapped other does not have any chance, but ok, they have their own championship game to play with each other.

I think Ogier just took it easier. From all-live they described some technical problems between the stages.

It's not rare that Ogier has just so good tire-ware, that he can win everything back at...

As I understood, hybrid guys can go and fix the sh*t-box between the stages. It is the only allowed exception for external touch.

From a sporting perspective, it's quite idiotic - how it's called at least somewhere nearly equal competition if Neuville is losing to Rally2 cars.

Requires some mind work...

McErlean 4th O/A in split 1, 3rd O/A split 2...

Fourmaux coming faster than Tänak on some splits (edit: gaining time back from Tänak)

Sordo and Taka surprisingly slow.

This drone stream is quite hard to follow, head is "spinning" already...

Yes, if any of those "heli-guys" happen to read here - you do a great job, we enjoy it!

Also, I recall from Tänak's stage-end comments phrases like "your heli guys are more committed than I am"

Tänak got 20 points closer to Evans, but as the main reason was a bad rally for Evans, I would say that Evans lost 20 points to Tänak, not Tänak gained.

The point is, if the other one does not...

Summary from Tänak's interview - he needs to adapt himself to the car to be at least somewhere, but this is not the way to reach the level of "I'm controlling others with my tempo". He was talking...

In case something happens with other Toyota, they still earn manu points. Also, they can earn them from the powerstage.

With this fog, they really need it :)

If Ogier is ahead of both (Neuville and Tänak), it does not matter from the drivers-title point of view. It only matters, if he is between them.

Sordo just backed off because of the fog.

Is Sordo in safe mode or in problem mode?

Another (potential) factor for start-order can be, that SS17 was stopped due Meeke's crash.

Eem. What is the logic for this start-order? First Evans vs Munster with Rally1 and then Grayzin vs Rossel with Rally2...

Overall winner is just a title and fame, but does not give extra points. So it's all up to the priority - full-timers need points, part-timers probably wins and fame.

Yes, people have not adapted to the new scoring logic. Is the new system good or bad, has been discussed many times and I don't want to open the topic here.

Drivers need to earn as many points as...

Need to admit there, that without super-Sunday it could be cruising Sunday. What the reality will be, we will find out tomorrow.

Summary for the afternoon loop so far - Tänak got back from Ogier... 0.1sec.
