Last hour is going to be full of attrition. I mean the equipment in the cars has lasted for 23 hours without much of a break and with drivers being more aggressive in the final hour, doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out

I mean, they're designed for 24 hour endurance races. So, while there will probably be a bit of attrition, I don't expect a ton

#

@daring nacelle still a big statement, Tänak simply couldn't get the job done and take the fight to a superior Toyota, whereas Neuville did the impossible

daring nacelle
#

that is a silly statement, tanak is champion. it is his first weekend in the car, and he crashed on friday on only the fourth stage. and he was what, 3rd or 4th place at the time.

#

he couldnt get the job done because the car was destroyed and he retired

#

and its fairly often that neuville mixes with the toyotas, its not really 'the impossible'

it is good that neuville did not bottle it again though and would much rather see him win than ogier
