I'd suggest moving around. On the Saturday and Sunday there are a good few hours between stages while the cars go to service, so staying in one spot might be boring. Allow a decent amount of time to...

That's an interesting route. Shame they've not yet published an itinerary so we can see the distance. I also think it's a shame that we won't be seeing the Whaanga Coast on the final day - it's...

Surely "off" or "neg" would do the trick. With all due respect to your homage towards Finnish motorsport culture, I'd question whether you are really doing it in an "authentic" way.

You don't need to commiserate with me if you don't share my feelings. Loeb has used tactics, and been the beneficiary of team orders.

Since Marcus retired (maybe that's why I didn't enjoy Loeb's...

You misunderstand me. I was not criticising the system for causing Loeb to win, nor was I saying anything of the sort. Loeb's wins were of his own making and he deserves all the credit. The effect of...

To each his own, I guess. Personally, I didn't enjoy the old days where a driver was able to use his superior start position to, through keeping track of split times, drive just fast enough to...

Can you be specific about how you would change it?

I know that gentlemen's agreements are only as good as the the worthies who make them, but there's hope; in the hyper-political world of F1, there's a gentlemen's agreement governing a two-week...

Ideally, splits would be banned to cars, and teams would make a gentlemen's agreement not to indicate splits to their drivers on the stages.

Splits allow the top drivers, when they're not first...

More rows over electric in F1 as Toyota go for record- James Allen on F1

I'm of the opinion that electric cars, of whatever type - fuel cell or mains-powered, or whatever - are the future. I'm not...

I think Holmes objects to the safety issue presented by the combination of dust and headlights such as those used by WRC cars at night, which is fair.

The matter of Holmes' identity has already been answered. And are you asking "us" if "we" care? Perhaps you can see the people in the thread who have already posted opinions and decide for yourself....

GP Week

Check it out on pg. 54.

Holmes has been consistently critical of the current promoters, and now he's come out opposed to the FIA as well, criticising the recent moves to night stages...

Why do some people in the Acropolis thread think that Quesnel is plotting against Loeb in favour of Ogier? Is this just a conspiracy theory? It seems to revolve around Loeb losing splits on the night...

This weekend really brought into focus the different views over how a race should be run: when it should be started behind a safety car, when a safety car should be deployed, when it should be red...

Yes, DRS here was just clumsy, and I was disappointed to see Schumacher lose the podium because of it. Let them use DRS all the time or get rid of it.

Well, quite. I'm not sure if you're asking me rhetorically or not...

WRC.com being stupid again:

"Like the absolute professional that he also is, Malcolm Wilson refuses to apportion blame to Latvala for the suspension breakage that cost him the rally win, but the...

That Loeb is faster than Hirvonen even with his penalty should make Malcolm think pretty seriously about finding somebody else. Make Latvala the lead driver and get Ostberg or, hell, Paddon, in the...

Wilson?

So looking after tyres, fuel, mechanical components of the car, none of that should matter either?

Just balance the calendar so that we have a diversity of conditions so that the running order isn't the advantage it currently is. Fast gravel like Poland and Finland, and asphalt events ought to...

Fair enough, if that's what you think. Interestingly, in F1 these days they have made it easier to overtake by changing tyres and adding KERS and DRS, which in effect is the governing body...

Oh, the anti-Loeb rule! I know what you mean, it's the one that's stopped him winning these past few years.

He means a return to the days when rallies were decided by Saturday afternoon.
