Hope they dont cancel stages like they did in japan

[EDLT]

Does the control tyre rule mean they can't change to a more suitable tyre?

Yes, I believe it does, which makes the above more of a possibility.

Did anyone else have an advert for the ice-driving experience at the top of that page when they opened it?!?

This has happened before. Rally GB and snow but not allowed Snow tyres. Right then must set the recorder to record everything I can....

What sort of recce car is that?

Not a C4? Evo?

They use Evos as Citroen don't make a 4x4 turbo road car.

There was rumours that Loeb rolled again today but Loeb did not roll in Resolven this morning, he did however go off, he spun off backwards but got going again. I was told that of the first 47 cars that started run 1 of the stage for recce only 5 cars came out of the stage without some form of minor off. It was sheet ice for the entire length of the stage!

I can see most of the rally being cancelled then

I may be speaking out of turn here, but that tyre rule seems a little...dumb.

it was made dumber this year, it was already dumb enough last year.
