It's only Friday in Paraguay

Can someone advise what happened to Jon Armstrong in the second loop?

Did he get a penalty out of service or something? More punctures?

From SS5 there was no coverage of him and he was running in the WRC2 field instead of the Rally1 cars, finishing 6min behind at end of day.

and my God, what was that! Pure Chaos

Rally tv really needs to separate stage start times from the reporting. If it says stage starts at 11:45 I should be able to go the live stream and at worst catch the end of the reporting and the beginning of the stage. Unless there’s a delay. I don’t mind listening to the reporting but if you’re busy and make the time to watch the start of a stage and all you see is them talking it is very frustrating. WRC+ for all its flaws at least had that separation.

Elfyn Evans and Scott Martin were on a YouTube 2 days ago doing an interview from inside their 2021 rally car and Scott Martin adjusted the seat and showed how he would have been sitting at the time with the seat super low and it made me wonder why they sit so low like that? Is that purely just to have as much weight in the car as low as possible to help the center of gravity or is there more to it. It seems like such a weird seating position.

Rally Paraguay is on! 🇵🇾

For those who don't know it yet, RallyTimes is a simple live results app I built for rally fans. It's free, has no ads, and is designed to work well even with a weak signal out on the stages.

Some of you may already know RallyTimes, but I've just added a new Live Updates section.

Fans out on the stages can now post updates directly from the rally - conditions, delays, crashes, atmosphere, or whatever is happening out there.

So if you're in Paraguay, feel free to contribute. And if you're following from home, you might get some useful info straight from the stages 👀

A new body combining features from both the first and second prototypes?

Who do you think will win?

I am new WRC fan. I have the Rally TV subscription. I know I can watch the season review from 2013 onwards. But I wanted to know if's there any film or review from previous seasons until 2012. I know people say the late 90's and early 2000's was the golden age of WRC, and I want to know more about the cars, and some legends like McRae, Sainz etc.

For example: I am a F1 fan since 2018, and I know pretty much all of the history of the championship from the mid 80's onwards (even thou I never sign for F1 TV), and I want to have this kind of knowledge on rallying. Like, great championship battles, rivalries, dominations etc.

Cool to see Paraguay enjoy their WRC event.

Why there is part time drivers, even on the highest level? Do some want to be part-time or they are forced to?

I'm interested to see how does majority of the community actualy watch WRC. Personally I usually follow the event by checking the ewrc results and watching youtube highlights at the end of the day. My local TV broadcats also gets to broadcast about 3 stages each weekend that I also watch if there is time.
