They signed a 10-year contract

So the "guard safari" will be going on elsewhere in the world😁.Only the 10 years is probably enough foul.The powerful will only show up at the SS in the city and there will be a void around the Rz.

Well, you know...money is the first priority, personally I have nothing against the terrain of the Arabian Peninsula, I know nothing about His Royal Highness Prince Khalid Bin Sultan Al Abdullah Al-Faisal (his title, I believe, indicates his affiliation to the ruling royal family), his words (as written on Fish) about supporting motorsport in Saudi Arabia - "We need to provide them with all the things they need, from training to infrastructure and facilities, to achieve their goals. That's a very important thing that we are focusing on now in Saudi Arabia, at the local level, so it fits in line with our direction and our strategy in the federation and also in the Saudi Motorsport Company." - smells so THOROUGHLY of that famous line from Animal Farm to me... All animals are equal, some are just more equal... Why is that? Because Saudi Arabia is a state with a feudal structure...I won't elaborate further. Just a footnote.

In RZ8 he was left hanging on his stomach on the edge of the road. The link to the picture is somewhere on the previous page.

I know I saw that on the broadcast, but now I don't see it anywhere in the results.Didn't they pull it out?Or is there something serious with the car?There's nothing anywhere.

Yeah, yeah. Well, I guess "there weren't people" or it didn't work, or some other snag, anyway, that was the end for today.

It wouldn't even pull 30 people, hung almost perpendicular to the road on the chassis, plus tight big bushes and ravines down.

Sure.It's just that the organizer didn't call a tow truck between the Rz.I guess it didn't work out in time.

I'm looking at it now and there was 2hours of time between the next section.So I guess there was another problem.

Even if they pulled him out after the wedding, he still couldn't go on...

The reason why?

He can take part in the Superrally until the next stage.

Oh. Thanks.

It's been that way for years.

Finished on the approach to RZ7 (damaged shoulder)

Vlad, I've been saying that for a long time :-) There are two separate competitions, the overall winner is only interested in statistics (and of course it looks good for the car company in the photos, when its driver is the highest). The problem is that the successful ones from the first two days have it in their heads that a mistake can lose them points for the first competition. The unsuccessful ones can go with a clear head and full speed, they have nothing to lose. I thought that especially in Sardinia this would be compensated by a big cleaning in the first passes, but thanks to the dust it is rather the opposite. Julian Porter did try a clever question at the stop sign to see if he wanted to put Ogier under pressure, but Ott pretty much settled him down.
