That's interesting as it's against regulations. Perhaps they didn't have any spares left but even so they would have to have load punctured tyre on?
13.11 SPARE WHEELS
Cars may carry a maximum of two spare wheels. If stipulated in the Appendix J for the concerned group, cars must carry at least one spare wheel.

2. Tänak’s title blow
Turkey was the opportunity for Ott Tänak to lay a few fingers, if not one hand, on the drivers’ title. A 33-point pre-event lead meant another dominant result for the WRC’s man of the moment would leave rivals Thierry Neuville and Ogier with a mountain to climb.
It didn’t work out that way. Opening the roads handicapped him throughout Friday, a puncture cost more time and then ECU failure in his Toyota Yaris on Saturday sidelined him for the rest of the day.
He salvaged maximum bonus points from the Wolf Power Stage after an audacious gamble to run throughout Sunday morning with no spare wheel in a bid to save weight. But that 33- point lead was slashed to 17 as the message from Ogier was ‘hands off my trophy’. https://www.wrc.com/en/news/season-2...--turkey-2019/
This short stage ends right to the service park so it's not a problem to drive through with a puncture
Funny, I don't have a recollection of that incident. Must be early dementia coming on. Anyway, I checked old regulations and both 2018 and 2019 regs did have exactly the same wording (albeit under different numbering). I haven't checked Technical Reg Appendix J as to whether WRCars do have that requirement as I believe they do. Might be wrong though.
split at 4km?
whats the point
still no intercom for Tänak, rehearsal wasted
Lappi car looks like a crocodile ))
this watersplash if you dont enter it with totally straight steering, pulling the car sideways violently.
man this stage is cleaning a lot it seems.
Adamo must be so happy, from a 1-2 to a Toyota 1-2 in just one stage.
Something weird for Evans at the start, he just arrived to the start line before starting...hopefully no penalties issued
Idiotic turkish marshalls opening his door 😂
Sure. But what I´m trying to say is that one more puncture on stage or before SP makes you out if wearing only one useless spare. You can´t limp on three wheels, or...
Edit: won´t repeat myself more. The issue is no more for this section.
Loeb went straight in the watersplash
cmon Thieryy!!!
Masssive time from Neuville!
"Flat out" Neuville answer for SS11... :) :)
didnt saw it,what did you mean straight?
