Rally is also a great opportunity to meet amazing people, as happened today when we met again with Keiko and the latest issue of the excellent RALLY PLUS編集部／ラリープラス magazine in which I had the honor to collaborate. Enjoy Rally de Portugal!! #WRClive #WRClive ES #WRCjp #RallydePortugal

Dusty shakedown of Rally de Portugal today forcing teams to protect hybrid unit cooling circuits from dust (Puma #Rally1 ) and to carry out adequate spare parts (Pajari's GR Yaris #Rally2 ) #WRClive #WRClive ES #WRCjp #RallydePortugal

40 years after my first Rally de Portugal, it was time to come back, so... we're heading to #RallydePortugal tomorrow! No group B this time, but some cars also very special to watch and review

Loving the gravel events like Rally de Portugal, where dust shows us the periodic instabilities of the wake of the car due to velocity difference across the interface between the two layers (known as Kelvin–Helmholtz instability) #WRClive #WRClive ES #WRCjp #RallydePortugal

Amarante. Ogier vs Tänak. Toyota vs Hyundai. A la décima. Esto no es cine. Esto son los rallies. #WRCLiveES

Como me gustaría que se pueda poner una cámara ahí en medio sobre el cuadrado rojo, no se que tan posible sea pero daría una buena imagen de los donuts desde el interior

#WRCliveES cómo es lo de que suda grasa el asfalto? Rollo un Jamón?🙈
Creo que a lo que os referíais es a los cambios de grip 🙈

🥈 First half of Friday completed. We are second, following the strategy of taking care of the car and the tires, with more than 33º degrees of temperature 🥵

Only a prototype to be developed, but difficult to accept the downgrade... Good job for asking! #WRClive #WRClive ES #WRCjp
