0:30 big rain puddles, 1:01 very fast flat out, 4:50 sequence of hairpins bends uphill, 7:12 becomes foggy with low cloud, 7:40 fast through the small village of Aiti, 11:10 big puddles and over a big bridge, 15:25 faster and smoother road now, 17:11 through the small village of Cambia, 18:19 through the larger village of Carticasi, 19:37 slippy mud on road, 19:48 slides on mud after this bridge, 23:20 sequence of downhill hairpin bends, 25:28 high open mountain road now, 27:10 end of stage "That wasn't very good" says Evans but he was 10 seconds faster than anyone else!
It took me a little bit to figure out why his pace notes were odd but these guys actually use the numbers system backwards than normal. Typically the lower number indicates a sharper turn and the higher the number indicates the more straight turns. But they use up to 8 to indicate their turns and 8 being extremely sharp with 1 being super straight.
difficult to find such a demanding stage without a moment's respite, truly an incredible pace and so many variables. Evans is occasionally heard to groan from the effort. It's a real shame that the TDC is no longer around the rallies that matter
You know I was never impressed with Evans throughout last year, rather I was convinced that Tänak was more talented(although a bit rough around the edges). Now I don't know who is better but Evans is clearly supremely talented, so is Paddon.
+mattman696 To me, that sounds quite evidently to be "sharp". Trying to set the calls of this "sharp" to the corners they apply to, I conclude that he thus describes such corners which indeed require adjusting the speed to the grade of the corner, but where the appex is really close to the entry, so the rest of the corner is of a much lesser grade. Say, if it's "six right sharp", you basically have to slow down to the level of a regular sixth-grade corner (which is pretty slow or his scale), but if you manage to get a good line and clip the corner well, you may start accelerating almost right off the entry. I think that the name "sharp" seems really fitting there, because some of those corners are either of an average length or even quite long -- only that doesn't seem to make much difference, since they just keep opening. Also, by my reckoning, the the tightest corner seemed to be a "9". I always wondered what made people use the reverse scale, or the "verbal scale" (where you also have a consequent, precise system of difficulty gradation, only that you never ascribe numbers to those grades but rather put fixed names to them -- like: "absolute", "fast", "key", "medium", "slow", "hard"). It always occured to me as much less natural to using the 6-1 scale, with 6 standing for the fastest corner.
It sounds crazy but I feel he wasn't happy with the pacing of the co-driver at times (maybe at 10:19) and wasn't very confident on various entries. However I am not an expert and the conditions were really challenging. But I think that's why he wasn't pleased with the stage run.
Elfyn may not have performed well with M-SPORT but his performance within the TGR family has been the most incredible performance of the year and you can’t deny he’s one of the top 3 candidates to win the WRC title this year if it resumes.

Aah i get it now, thanks
@@fernandashahalrizqy4119 Some use numbers from 0 to 10

Unbelievable how these drivers and pace note co-driver work seamlessly... Absolutely no margin for error!
wow, very impressive drive and navigation
simply amazing!!! these guys really take themselves to the limit!
I can't decide who has the steelier nerves, driver or codriver.
+Braeden Hamson both have balls of steel
Fantastik. Super. Wow
Am I the only one who finds these really relaxing
lol if your eyes tracks the road like Elfyn I dont think it is relaxing
I find rallying and videos of rallying very relaxing, thank you very much

4 years later both are mindblowing fast and Tanak world champion haha
3 years later and Elfyn is fighting for a world title. Hope he gets it
10:10 :the death..
Oh god!!! Yes it is right there... Seriously I get scared when I saw it for the first time after you comment ahahah
+77torino no, this is death 25:32
Dont joke like that, these men need all the luck they can get.
THAT'S BIGFOOT !!!
Wow these people are insane :D I would never have the bravery nor the skills to pull this off
is he saying short or sharp? took me awhile to figure out his note system is reverse than normal 7 is tightest 1 is fastest.

Dont cut
*cuts*
I’m trying to make sense of what the navigator is saying in relation to what is going on on the road
Damn, now I see why group B ended here.
can we get Latvala onboard ?
check to wrc+
Nice stage, nice run.
and i cant finish a race in wrc8 without destroying the car
Don't worry, the WRC is still superb.
WOW!!!!!!!
passionating
j'y suis dans la vidéo
vers la combientieme minute?

I think it rained a lot just before the special and the co-drivers' notes were raised on dry tarmac.
"that wasn't very good" .. yes it was elfyn.. i never really liked him but this rally made me change my mind..

ghosttime
Those roads look in a realy bad way, they need a lot of work.
evans is a very unable driver.he drives like my grandma.
Cool grandma.
