I watched that without reading your description and thought "it seems a bit restrained, not quite as savage as it might be". Then I read about the "2025 spec" and thought "oh".

I find this whole...

I sure hope so. [/tarmac fan]

He did not look like he was really going for it, to me.

When he had the spin in the first run he said it was because a hard tyre didn't grip. Maybe he decided he didn't need to do too much because...

Evans matches Neuville for points.

Good for Tanak I guess. Top points of the full-timers, and he looked good from Friday afternoon onwards. Hopefully, this is the beginning of better times.

Not...

Fourmaux did look a bit rapid. But maybe the road is getting warmer/faster.

Yay, Pajari beats Greensmith

Ogier said at the stage end that he was being a little careful in that stage because it was so risky. And the other 4 top drivers had some sort of incident.

Not for the first time, I note that...

I think perhaps the honeymoon is over for Fourmaux, but he is still married.

I've noticed Pajari having a few too many sideways moments when he hit loose gravel on the tarmac corners. Well, that's what the no-points practice run is for...

I think he said "late".

My heart, it stopped. Twice.

I predict biblical flooding tomorrow.

Well, as a Porsche fanboy, I don't mind that so much.

I was thinking today that Gus Greensmith has found his place in WRC2. Perhaps having a Skoda helps (it seems to be the car that the others are measured against), as does having the budget to do every...

Solid stage for Evans but hats off to Neuville, he really stormed through that.

So far, so good.

OK, let's see if I can embarrass myself in front of bluuford:

I just typed the opening name for each stage into my usual weather site for vacation travel.

SS13 Smerovišće - Grdanjci 2 overcast...

Suddenly the punctures are coming.

Don't hit the same rock Sami!

Damn, Rossel in some sort of mechanical trouble.

It feels tighter than usual. Plus nobody's lost minutes for punctures/crashes, so all five heavyweight WRC1 drivers are within about a minute.

Nice stage this #11.

Greensmith certainly put on a show.

The rainiest forecast I can find is for the fourth stage: https://www.xcweather.co.uk/forecast/pecurkovo

Others have less

... and there it is.

I admit I'm getting older and my eyes aren't what they used to be, but I don't see any rain on rally.tv.

For me, the only thing wrong with this rally is that it replaced Corsica, and I liked Corsica (even) more.
