From M-Sport press:
Ott: "Of course I’m not so happy with the middle stage [SS3] because we made a bit of a stupid mistake there. We forgot the lights because it was pretty light at the start of the...

as i understood, these 1st spots were supposed to be safe selections - if no dust, then dont lose much. but if there was dust now, then ford boys would do lots worse than citroen now.

considering how short those 2 stages have been, then times are really wide apart and lots of action has happened - it seems to me that many drivers dont really know much about driving in dark?

Ott said codriver was late with pacenote...

That reminds me that when Tänak started driving with Sikk (Aava's former codriver) local fans were somewhat hesitant as many Aava's mistakes were said...

I never thought Sordo would be so fast on ice (if the speed continues into tomorrow). Crazy guy.

if i am not mistaken then its second pair ford/citroen where it seems that ford has much better traction off-the-spot?

I quess nobody is saying that his pace isnt justified. But fact remains - he is not top contender on this rally. Those who hoped some miracle - get real.

That was "official" version of things by one quite controversial local team chief back then. He also said that Ott will never achieve anything in rally due to obvious lack of talent. period. If you...

I was told that from now on he doesnt have to find money from his long-time sponsors any more, but he will be payd for driving. Looks like factory seat to me? I do not know what deals they have in...

naah, i just tried to be interesting by being vague :P he is driving ford next year.

I dont know about Ford&M-Sport but i heard just another related news from local insiders that confirms speculations circling around in last weeks - certain young Estonian has left the employment of...

I have seen him only in one rally but - Esapekka Lappi - perhaps in 3-4 years?

It could be a sign! M-Sport must be paying for this event, because i see very little reason for Ott to cover these costs, considering how tight his budget has always been. Maybe Wilson is trying to...

We should not forget that through history some drivers seem to be top guys in one car and suck in another - Mäkinen in Mitsu vs Sub; Märttin in Ford vs Pug - i would put Duval also in that line with...

As i see, there are two ways of becoming champ - from slower to fast&consistent or from too-fast to fast&consistent. When Petter started on WRC cars years ago, he was instantly fast, but crashed a...

I wouldnt say he is tooo dirty driver, but sure, he throws fair amount of gravel around.
And this is bit weird, considering few factors from his background - he is mentored by Markko, who was quite...

yup. and very crazy spectators :S

Currently question was about fireworks in nighttime - i would say it is not normal rally-related noise that should be tolerated by locals.

Whats there to LOL about? D***heads like those fans (and i suspect NOT too?) have done lot of harm to rally internationally. I have been small part of organising team of one local event for 10+...

I think i need to amend myself - this sign of not flashing brake lighst more than once, has some meaning BEFORE the corner - after the car has reached the desired speed to enter the corner and when...

I was told by one old school rally pilot once, to look brake lights - if they flash more than once before the corner, then this driver is not feeling comfortable and nothing good comes out of this. I...

In my little universe complaining about Matt at least once during ongoing season is firmly among basic human rights. I used my 1 time, so i am at peace :D

:D :D Rally forum equivalent of De mortuis nil nisi bonum :D :D

True, it is quite obvious. So, let him drive in peace as he wants. I will no more mention his name :)

On Friday 21st we probably get confirmation that Ott will start RWGB on Fiesta WRC and after that rally Wilsons 5 year plan will look even more like a joke - does anyone have any doubts that Ott will...

I hope not. With Juho probably gone to WRC, he has nothing to do in SWRC.
