When team orders backfire a little bit.

Finishing in electric mode!
All the wories about the #WRC-worthieness should go away.
P-L had a great weekend!

Went for coffee, caught up with ongoing events in #WRC. Happy for Thierry. Bitter Belgian deserves success and arguably a title. So many close 2nds to Ogier in the era of French domination.

I think I'm gonna run this rally... I have a little bit to prep, maybe an hour and a half, and then half an hour to run it.

Loving this. I wish #RBR had a separate night stage time trial rating.

And here's a Tanak commercial.

Driving on a sleek for a couple of kilometers, getting the rally lead. I really hope that #MSport and #Ford will give him a car to compete for the world championship.

Here's a commercial for #Pirelli.

Ott: "ask pirelly, f**king hell".

Fair enough.

Is this where it happens? Ott shows insane pace. Let's see what Craig has in store.

I'm rooting for Tanak, obviously, but I hope that Craig won't crumble under pressure and will always keep it on the road. We watch racing for racing, not for "drama"!

Oh #Pirelli, what the fuck, holy shit. Poor #EP.

If this was an isolated incident *or* if we had many different tire manufacturers in #WRC, I wouldn't make a stench. But drivers and teams have no agency over what they put on their cars and sure, there is tire saving and stuff, but again, cars aren't stock. Drivers have to push...

Stuff like this makes me sad and not because of the personalities involved. EP is a fun guy, but I'm not his fan or anything. It's just very very very annoying, especially given that two drivers suffered the same issue with delamination on the straight.

Also the fact that there's no sensor between the stubbed outer layer and the wall of the tire is a joke.

The splits were a yo-yo. Ah, what a rally!

Most likely, Craig will retain first, assuming he'll keep up with Ott's blazing last section.

It ain't much, but it's honest work. +0.0 from my previous best time! Nice little session, now let's watch #WRC.

So you know how it seems like #Ford has a shitty top speed compared to the other two manufacturers?

Watching stage 9. The stage is snow-powder gravel with ruts in most of places, getting worse and worse and worse with every car. Harder and harder to drive the later you are in the car order.

But guess what...

When I hear stuff like "that's why we moved further to the north to have snow" from #WRC commentators I get very upset. Truth hurts, but there's nothing joyful about it. We need to always remember why. #ClimateChange.

I can't publish a lot of #dungeon23 content I write because it's GM-only and I'm going to run stuff, so I guess I'll limit myself with handouts and player-facing information and you're gonna have to believe me that there's more stuff behind the curtain.

Craig is flying.

Lappi lost six seconds, going from -2.7 to +4.3.

Now this guy has all the chances in the world to extend his lead by a huge chunk! 🍀

Ridiculous how precise you have to be. Craig lost a second in the last three KM. Gah.

This rally is so good. Ott is on top with a slower car, the snow specialist Taka is fighting! Glorious stages. Makes me want to move to #Umea, so pretty it is.
