Raining here so just watching highlights on bt sport

Neuville out on first stage of today, hit a rock and damaged the wheel hub assembly too much to continue.

Hanninen was in 6th up to Stage 11, but problems in stage 12 saw him drop to 14th place overall.

EDIT - UPDATE
Both cars have right front wheel damage.  Perhaps a common issue which they will have to address before the rough roads of Portugal at the next round?

[Dazzler]

That's a shame  Ta for the update!

Surferdude, hop over and show 'em how to do it.

Day 2 summary

Surferdude, hop over and show 'em how to do it. 

They've got 4 driver line-ups. Used 2 in Monte, changed one for the snow; I guess Atkinson will get a gig in the next event in Mexico.
It's all a work in progress but changing drivers every event, plus the lack now of "Super Rally" options is going to seriously hamper their development.

IMHO.

No Monte was not Super Rally, but Sweden is, both cars will be out tomorrow with 5 min penalties.

Atko is doing Mexico, that'll be another one wrecked then!

  but you are probably right

Ah. Thanks Brian. I assumed they'd scrapped the whole idea.

Atko did OK in Mexico last year in a one off.

But I'm sure he'll soon get back to form.

SS 20.

Neuville 5th overall

Yep

SS17 Neu 5th, Hann 6th
SS18 H 4th, N 8th
SS19 N 2nd, H 5th 
SS20 N 5th, H 8th
SS21 No data! 
SS22 N 5th, H 6th

SS22 still running, overall classification after SS21, H24th, N 31st.

Hanninen has won the first award for Hyundai on this event though, longest jump over Colin's crest (named after Colin McRae wowed the crowds over it in his day, and now an award is given for the longest jump over it every year).  He flew the i20 WRC for 36 metres this year

[FatBoy]

I watched the SS20 live on Speed last night, it was only on for an hour here.  There was a slight delay at the start, and then Robert Kubica (former F1 driver) was the lead car and went off into some trees.  He finished the stage some 4 minutes behind.
