It is on BT Sport. Might be on BT Sport Extra or something like that.

Highlights are on Red Bull TV every night at 9pm.

Every stage is on the bt sport red button and some stages are live on main bt sport channels.

Have watched some of it and Ogier is just a different league in Monte. Have to say I much prefer a tricky Monte weather wise, apart from the one small section last night it’s been tame.

I am just catching up on the event now. Sad to see the Ford facing power steering issues. Hopefully not a sign of another frustrating season.

Evans really does deserve a championship. Always up there and very consistent.

All a bit underwhelming at the weekend.

Maybe it was the lack of snow/ice or nobody wanting to risk too much in favour of points or just time in the car to learn it etc.

Sunday was a dose. Everyone saving tyres for three stages then one last go up Turini.

Toyota look dominant already so will be up to Neuville and Tänak to stop that.

Given there's a re-group before the power stage, they should allow tyres to be changed to try and remove tyre saving and allowing for a proper final blast on the final stage. Could even allow it for the tyres to be separate from their allocation for the weekend

Best way to silence the keyboard warriors, no slabberin, just steering. (y)

So Craig Breen leads Rally Sweden 🇸🇪 after day 1. Who’d have thought it?

Different day tomorrow but hopefully he can carry that confidence through the weekend.

Pity for Takamoto-san. He was going real well.


William Creighton leads the Junior WRC.

Pirelli under serious fire after what happened today. Of course they are blaming it on tyre pressures.

Creighton leading JWRC again by 2.7s - brilliant comeback, let’s hope he can see it through

Breen being 8.5s back and only one stage to go is probably too much without a major issue for Tanak. Just a pity about the issues yesterday evening being outside of his or Hyundai’s control

Great for William and Liam!

Hearing that Breen has incurred a 10sec penalty, so allow TN past under team orders.

I just seen that. Disappointing but not surprising
He's proved his worth. He's corrected the self-doubt inflicted by the Puma. He's a support driver who will have agreed to team orders and will no doubt come away buzzing, this weekend.

Some effort with a new navigator, too!
