Hoping Paddon can continue his good form from Sardinia.

Being lower down the order really seems to have helped Mr Tanak!

Going well isn't he! Be interesting to see how the repeat stages compare - last year the sandy roads favoured the early road positions as they rutted up, but different stages this time.
Lappi is showing great pace too.
ETA: Good tyre choice and speed from Paddon on the long SS7, jumps him up to 5th.

Yep, website seems to be broken.
Awful is a bit harsh on Neuville I think - yes he's had a couple of bad rounds recently and hasn't performed to pre-season expectation, but he's still top Hyundai, 6th overall and not far off 4th/5th in championship points. Might move up a bit after this too.

10km back to service for Latvala, will he make it? Not that far, but a long way with a munched radiator...
I'm conflicted, part of me wants him to make it back so he doesn't lose even more points, but another part of me wouldn't mind him donating that 4th place to Paddon!

Good to see JML finish, think I would fear for his mental state after another last stage DNF in Poland!
With the loss of Rallye Dorset and the stricter spectator controls at the Somerset Stages, multi venue rallying really is dying in this region

It will be soon in the UK.....rumours (as seen on BRF) that next years Wyedean might not run, added to this years Neath Valley being pulled. Which events are next?
Rallying, the only sport that doesn't want to be popular! Wyedean was crazy busy this year, but to not run it is ridiculous!With the loss of Rallye Dorset and the stricter spectator controls at the Somerset Stages, multi venue rallying really is dying in this region
