WRC ADAC Deutschland Rallye 2019

[HaCo]

I am spectating since this morning. Was close at the start of Romerstrasse, saw Tanak cutting out a small whit-black roadside pole this morning.

Where did the Belgians Bedoret and Demevius lost their minutes?

Bedoret did same as Rovanpera read at French forum.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

This where Ogier had the lock-up ?

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Suninen 4sec slower than 1st run.

[KKS]

https://www.adac-rallye-deutschland.de/docs/wrc/2019/static/604/CoC_Decision_9.pdf

Kopecky time 8:59.0
Mads 9:03.0

quite OK

[EstWRC]

Lappi with a moment, the speed was 0km/h after a junction

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Lappi lost the back end, lost 10s +.

Shame he was going well til then.

[dimviii]

This where Ogier had the lock-up ?

no,it was different spot

[EstWRC]

Latvala really doesnt like this stage until split 1, then holds the gap the rest of the stage

[Lead]

Mikkelsen just cant handle the i20 on tarmac.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Seems another very decent time by Suninen.

[denkimi]

Mikkelsen just cant handle the i20 on tarmac.

if he wasn't already not included in the lineup for spain, he surely is now.

[EstWRC]

this is incredible between Ott and Thierry

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Neuville lost a bit at the end there.

E. But still fastest !

[er88]

Fair play to Hyundai, that i20 is very racey on the black stuff now.

[EstWRC]

Ott missing both front plates

[dimviii]

this is incredible between Ott and Thierry

and almost always Tanak faster at 1st split/splits,and progressively Neuville cuts tenths at every split

[Katvala]

Mikkelsen just cant handle the i20 on tarmac.Yeah. He got second here in the C3, but the Hyundai is a whole other story.
But who knows, perhaps not being dropped for previous tarmac rallies in the i20 would give a better result here now

interestingly Tänak was faster here than this morning, all the others were slower

[dimviii]

Camilli equal with works skodas at splits


edit .probably skoda boss told them to relax a bit.
Lefebvre kreim faster also

[Mirek]

Camilli fastest so far. Good progress with the car here!

[EstWRC]

nice, finally good time!

[RS]

Looked like Camilli was pushing very hard but good to see decent times can be done.

[HaCo]

Bedoret did same as Rovanpera read at French forum.

Thanks! Must me romerstrasse jump, pitty since a lot of videos exist on YouTube!

[dimviii]

nice, finally good time!

its not a good time,even Griebel is faster

[EstWRC]

its not a good time,even Griebel is faster

my bad

crap time! :D

but still nice to see him being competitive

[Mirek]

its not a good time,even Griebel is faster

Why it makes it not a good time? Griebel has been very fast today.

In Finland they were nowhere. Now they are fighting head to head ith the top.

[dimviii]

Lefebvre?

[KKS]

Lefebvre **faster also
Out :/

[dimviii]

Why it makes it not a good time? Griebel has been very fast today.

because suddenly works skodas are slower from everybody.

This is a problem of segregating the R5 class.. Kopecky has a 1m lead in Pro so why push?

and Ciamin starting later from Lefebvre saw him retired,thats why i said that Camillis time is not top.
For sure he progress from start of rally,but now faster r5 drivers seems they havent got any reason to push.

[EstWRC]

Mäkinen comparing Sordo and Latvala interestingly on alllive :D

[mufcAleksi]

Sordo to Toyota for sure based on Mäkinen's expressions

[er88]

Why is Tommi still so harsh on Jari publicly? Surely it's better to just lay off a little bit.

Presenters say something like, "Jari must be great for the engineers" because of the detail he goes into analysing everything, and instead of going along with that line of praising, Tommi starts criticising him. "We have to keep reminding him about things, wish he would just focus on driving, could be a lot faster" etc etc...

agreed, i dont get it too

Freisen 1 compared to Freisen 2 stage times:
Sordo 3,9s slower
Ogier 2,6s slower
Neuville 0,7s slower
Meeke 2,5s slower
Latvala 2,6s slower
Tänak 0,4s quicker

Yes I agree. If anything it's just adding extra pressure and negativity between them. I'm sure they've talked a lot about what he said already, behind the scenes

[EstWRC]

again a very good last sector from Lappi

[tomhlord]

This stage suits the straight-line speed of the Citroen.

[Rallyper]

Tomi probably talks about the whole picture of Latvala

Yes. For sure he knows what Latvala can do. He also know they have to handle him in a bit special way to give him confidence. I think that´s what Makinen says between the lines.

Mikkelsen even slower than "rookie" greensmith...

[Lead]

Mikkelsen even slower than "rookie" greensmith...

[tomhlord]

So much Baumholder hype right now.

[EstWRC]

Neuville going for it

[Integrale]

Neuville full attack mode on Romerstrasse. Everybody lifted at our place, he didn't. Incredible.

[Rallyper]

Ogier get stupid question, but decides to be polite...

[Mirek]

At the downhill along the forest before the finish Hyundais are in rpm limiter at 185-186 km/h. Citroëns and Toyotas reached around 190 km/h but Greensmith reached 194 km/h.

[EstWRC]

quite a moment for Ott there, the rear stepped out on high speed

[Mirek]

Ogier get stupid question, but decides to be polite...

That American smile...

[er88]

So much Baumholder hype right now.Loving it. Bring on the afternoon.

[EstWRC]

this fight will go to until the last stage!

Kalle now has one-liners, as well. Will be nice hearing him in the future. :)

When Tanak is going to have enough of this ''mickey-mouse'' playing, he will push the throttle, make a difference and easily win the event......just a flat tyre can stop him doing this...Remember-Neuville is playing dangerous: he is on the limit, Ott far away....

[Mirek]

If You look at the in-car shots Kopecký looks so smoth and easy that it's almost like if he was driving to the supermarket. Very gentle steering inputs with no corrections. Also if you compare how exhausted Camilli looks at the stage ands and how relaxed Kopecký is I have to agree with Dimitris...

Ciamin missing rear right damage

i think you are over reacting a bit. Ott was clearly pushing on these last two stages, with front aero missin on previous stage and also having some little moments here and there.

i think now we cant say anymore that Hyundai is crap on tarmac, good performance in Corsica and also here if you dont include Mikkelsen

About Hyundai it depends more on stage nature, as on gravel too. If stage technical and twisty - Hyundai perform well. If more on straights and 90corners - not a lot.

[Rally Power]

So, harakiri for the 2 Polo drivers and a long cruise now for Kopecky to become best RC2 (besides that Pro nonsense). Overall, no miracle solution for Ogier’s C3 but Tanak/Neuville fight is still very alive. Btw, from Camilli’s face the Fiesta seems to be horrible to drive…

[dimviii]

So, harakiri for the 2 Polo drivers
yes,but i would like to mention Lefebvres speed vs his drives with c3 r5
and 21 year Ciamin speed with private polo against Rovanpera/Kopecky with works car.
Ciamin is the next thing from France imho.

Soooo close - no saving anything and no splits in the car so they cant judge.

It didn't look like that at all. I have noticed he was more sideways than others, i.e. probably still having understeering issues.

[EstWRC]

my heart is bumping like crazy, every year im so afraid of this stage

Red Bull guys said he was cutting much less and looking to avoid puncture risks...

Have You noticed the landings on the jump? Citroëns had a really hard landings with visible rebound.

I'm commenting what I saw on all live.

[Tarmop]

Yes, on some other channels other experts said, that this is not normal saving and very costly. His face at the stage end and this weekend also seems to confirm that he is struggling.

[EstWRC]

Ogier said himself that he wasnt saving anything

[TypeR]

nice LIVE coverage from SS13... 5 guys on stage and still nothing. rather take pointless interview from Kaj

EDIT: Same for Andolfi.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

But Ogier is the king of tyre saving and he knows a puncture on this stage could be a big problem for the long one where another is more likely. Then he couldnt reach service and lose everything.

He was cutting way less than Latvala for example.

Misunderstanding. I meant tyre-protecting not saving.

Sordo could take Mikkelsen...

[HaCo]

Exciting stuff! I’m sitting somewhere 12km into the long one.

Why no sponsors on the Katsuta car ?

Probably the factory team has a sponsor deal for three cars each rally. Katsuta is basically outside the factory team in the challenge program.

Mads and Gryazin tyre puncture maybe cuz of overwarned tyres no?

"im not here doing funerals, im doing parties"


and i agree with him, they have catched up performance wise pretty nicelyVery much so. They've won one tarmac rally this year and now had Thierry and Sordo doing really great times here. This process started in Spain last year I think, I remember Neuville and Sordo were happier with the car on the Sunday when they weren't having to deal with the monsoon. They made changes leading up to that rally and have continued the development into this year.

Seems they're having greater success than Citroen with the upgrades

[er88]

Yaris rear wing itself was and is homoglated , so totally legal. Position if the wing itself on the car was bit "rule bending" but nothing illegal.

In Special 10 we were trapped by a gravel rail and this forced us to give up.
Thank you again for all those who made this project possible, we are really sorry for not having materialized.
We will still remember that we were in the lead, despite our lack of driving this year and a car and tires that we discovered.
Thank you also to Team BMA for their work and investment.

[able1]

Leaving M-Sport to join Citroen was a gamble with the way the C3 has been all it's life...

I totally agree with you , Fiesta is best overall car (handling, reliability,speed) , but IMO money is what made Ogier join Citroen not the C3. If Ogier cannot win in C3 .... noone can!

"This is the disappointment that prevails for now, said Thierry Neuville at the microphone of Olivier Gaspard, the special correspondent of RTBF in Germany.No one knows how it could happen, we will investigate. is the valve that was gradually losing air, or there is a hole in the tire, we do not know anything at the moment.We will do this analysis later.We still hope that bad luck is not bad. It will not fall on everyone, but what else could we have done? Nothing. The situation is not rosy, but we can still finish in the fifth place in the regular, we will It's a win, but not yet the championship, it's still long, but it's frustrating because we could have won this rally.

3min interval?

[EstWRC]

Suninen 5 secs quicker than previous run

[stefanvv]

Could you bet on that? He's going for PS points tomorrow

[EstWRC]

Katsuta already with a puncture, already in first split

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Greensmith split up on Lappi !

[KKS]

Gus up on splits on Lappi )

[KKS]

marshals sitting in a edge of a road - horrible

[wia5958]

Neuville will take both mikkelsen and Sordo without orders I'd say. Mikkelsen has been very disappointing

[KKS]

Ogier pushing but only +1.8

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Another good run by Suninen on this one. Been a pretty impressive day so far.

[EstWRC]

Ogier driving like a madman

[wia5958]

Latvala on about the fight Meeke talking about the team. Hope latvala is talking about ogier

[EstWRC]

what the hell Ott? why are you pushing ?

[Katvala]

It's not called pushing, it's called clean run!

[EstWRC]

the long one looking actually in very good condition, ,at least up to 10km or so

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Scary speed by Suninen between the hinkelsteins...

[Katvala]

Yes, that was scary to watch!

[EstWRC]

SUninen almost 10 secs up in 4th split compared to first run

[HaCo]

In the woods around 27km into the stage, Lappi breaking out the rear very close to the hinkelsteine!

Lappi & Mikkelsen's splits well down on Suninen.

[EstWRC]

Ogier stopped

[KKS]

Great day for Dani. If we don't count last stage yesterday he will sit on 2nd near 25sec out of Tanak

[er88]

Meeke's splits looking good..., wonder if hes pushing

Edit - should probably calm down?

[er88]

Party time for Tanak. Get your beers out Estonia

[EstWRC]

moving now so puncture

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Championship is going to be over at this rate.

[Allez Andruet]

Ogier stopped. Championship battle is no longer a battle.

[KKS]

Ogier stopped
puncture

[KKS]

So dark and noone with lightpod. Strange

[tomhlord]

Meeke's splits looking good..., wonder if hes pushing

Edit - should probably calm down?

Whenever I see Meeke up on the splits, my heart is in my mouth.

[Katvala]

Germany last year was also when his hat trick of wins started, so yeah. Unless Tänak has any issues, Ogier and Neuville will have a hard time playing catch up to the Estonian machine

Meeke is really flying

[er88]

Whenever I see Meeke up on the splits, my heart is in my mouth.Yeah he's really going for it. Maybe he's been within himself whole weekend, and this is one of the only few pushes he's gone for.

How much control he has remains to be seen

[er88]

Mikkelsen is maybe unemployable for a full season in Hyundai I think? I know theres only 3/4 tarmac events next year, but he cant drive the car and Adamo takes no prisoners.

[Katvala]

I wonder why Colin praises Andreas all the time at stage end for having a "good solid day". His times have not been any spectacular.

Neuville has lost a chunk, +13 now

[er88]

Great time Kris

[KKS]

WOW! MEEKE - WIn PANZERPLATE!!!!

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Meeke felt good and wasnt being crazy.

[Katvala]

Good for him there isn't any more stages today, when he says the car is amazing like that, that's often when he does a mistake on the next. Lol

is that a hinkelstein that the rear passed so close?

[KKS]

Sarazin still standing on road section. Probably out of a day

[Katvala]

Østberg stopped again..
