YoMrWhite Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Dytut said: Except for Elfyn, the rollercoaster continues. Latvala gets a big puncture on SS8 and drops 30 seconds. Tänak also stricken with a smaller puncture, and goes down to 5th. Still just 40 seconds between 2nd and 6th, so anything can happen. Wonder how Elfyn and his DMacks will hold up to road sweeping tomorrow. They won't have to. Cars start in reverse order of their positions. So he's going to have about the same road position as today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadD0g Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 I have to say, when the hype train for the 2017 cars was rolling, I was skeptical that the season would be any more exciting than usual. I'm very happy to be proven wrong! It's so great to see serious competition in this sport again, between factory teams and smaller teams as well. I'd be especially happy to see a different driver winning every event this season, that'd be pretty crazy. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RallyDriven Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Gutted he couldn't get it to the end of the day :( At least it looks like they'll be back out todayedit: seen both paddon's and meekes rolls, both incredibly unlucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
versedi Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Poor Chris, such unlucky bump. Bastard bump. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLHiR-I6Axg&index=2&list=PLVyRAt2cxbxue3N6QSDVoLMBtG6ZY_hrY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juu1ius Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 The day has started, drivers are saying that today's more car friendly, big push from everybody? Evans just has to keep calm head, but my biggest question is how good will be Mads when fast guys starts to pressure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dytut Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Mads kept pace on the first stage, but got the infamous hydraulics problem of the Fiestas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RallyDriven Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Also seems to be a stray dog on the stage causing problems for Ogier and latvala. Stay safe doggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRD_SimVansevenant Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Oooooh that last stage today didn't go too well for Evans. It's a shame.But we have one hell of a fight on our hands tomorrow! Looking forward to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sqdstr Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 If Neuville stays focused and keeps it together, I say he'll take the win.And if Tanak keeps the pressure on too, he might even take 2nd place of Evans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloatingGrass Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Damn it, Michelin. That puncture cost Latvala his rally. Still, if Ogier's car suffers hydraulic issues tomorrow and/or if the Jaris combo is really damn quick tomorrow I'd say Ogier's championship lead might dwindle.Anyways, woooooah there Elfyn. That was quite the lead to lose. I'd go with him taking the win tomorrow, followed by Neuville. Really though, I'd like whoever wins at this point to a) not be Ogier and b) score a maiden victory. On that note, I find it really incredible that Elfyn might score his first win earlier than Ott. Ha, Malcom! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ogier:Salida de pista de @SebOgier en el @rallyargentina (No dijeron que tramo fue Don't have a picture wiiith him per se (I'm in the same frame as him) but I do have pictures of him, Tommi, Jarmo Lethinen and Kaj Lindstrom. I even have a video of angry Tommi pointing a finger at an engineer, and a few pictures of Latvala and Makinen mid pep talk (I guess). Tell me what to share and I'll deliver ;)Edit: sorry if I seem overly excited but as a first rally this is too much! It's everything I'd imagined it to be and more.

gfRally Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 @FloatingGrass This just makes DiRT Rally and DiRT4 all the more special for you now. Welcome to the club. I am jealous that THIS is your first rally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RallyDriven Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 It's fun getting close to the drivers! I've got quite a few autographs from the last couple of rally gb's, and my sister got selfies with Mikkelsen and Paddon! Enjoy your last day there!Latvala's puncture was his own fault, to wide and hit the edge of the stage quite hard.edit: I've not seen anything of kris' second crash, which normally means it was pretty serious. The car is a complete state, but maybe they were close to spectators? Could just be that the cameras came loose in the accident and the footage is t worth showing. Anyway, they're all ok, so that's alright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

versedi Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 3 stages to complete today.I suppose Neuville will attack for the 1st place.Ogier's fight for podium is finished unless Malcolm orders Tanak to give up a place for him (it would be wise considering championship standings).So fantastic season so far, great fights.Feeling bad for Mads, I was hoping for him to finish on the podium so we'd see even more new drivers up top :)Standings for today:POS DRIVER DIFF 1ST1. GBRE. EVANS 2. BELT. NEUVILLE +11.53. ESTO. TANAK +26.84. FRAS. OGIER +49.95. FINJ. LATVALA +1:24.66. NZLH. PADDON +4:26.77. FINJ. HANNINEN +9:34.38. ITAL. BERTELLI +12:10.09. ESPD. SORDO +13:26.810.

RallyDriven Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 It looks like that picture was taken from a video, so I guess someone will post it soon.https://twitter.com/moni_maldonado/status/858615052634476545The damage in the bottom right picture is pretty substantial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juu1ius Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 On the first stage everybody will push and see what happens, if the gap is too big to catch up, they'll keep tires for PS. But I got this feeling that some one from top3 will crash out today... :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
