I just had to upload this because it was great to watch.
Stage 14 from the Helicopter following Latvala.

Manufacturers:
Ford by a little bit
Citroen by a wee way.
Subaru
Suzuki

Drivers:
Loeb (Will be close at the start but gap will open up on tarmac rallies)
Hirvonen (I'm guessing lots of...

They have.

And big butts.

Like the new Dodge Viper. Man that had an ass on it.

WOW..that last picture of that unknown car is truly ugly.

Can I include myself as a tool?

Small socket set, full metric spanner set, suntan lotion, jacket, butane burner and a couple of cans of spagetti.

My biggest crash (even after rallying) was parking in the garage and forgetting I hadn't turned the car off. Lucky I let the clutch out and had foot partially on brake. :)

My heart was really...

Electronic Stability Control....4x4's would still be as **** as they were 5 years ago if not for it. Reduces the chance of crashing a 4x4 by 50%. And 23% in a car (surprise surprise). Reduces the...

P.S. I would rather have a vehicle that I could use to avoid a crash. Then a vehicle that handled a crash better.

It doesn't matter what vehicle you drive, at 100kmph into a solid concrete...

I don't think most of their drivers actually know how they look to Joe public.
I have never seen one with a boat in tow. Nor one fully loaded. Nor one on dirt. So it pretty much says everything...

Its not ugly. A Toyota Landcruiser is bloody ugly.

To me the new GTR looks a bit like a NSX and a Maseratti sandwiched together.

Most V8's sound like motors that can't run right. To me you...

On that chart it says Ford are quite high. Is that because of the US Fords?
As I have seen no more problems on the European Fords compared to Japanese Honda's.

American Auto Manufacturer Motto:...

The first five or so Group N cars in the NZ Championship are good to watch. I should put some up on youtube.

Its not hard to get a front skidder sideways. It just scrubs off too much speed.

You'd probably find that most WRC drivers around the track would be straight and fast. Its not a circuit car, but...

The only person who really knows how much Mikko was pushing is Mikko himself.

I predict that Ford will win the manufacturers for a 3rd time in a row. Mikko and Loeb will be equal at start of year,...

HOT:
Latvala
Gronholm
Hirvonen
Norway (Even though its cold)
Loeb
Ford
Citroen

NOT:

Any of car 48? Only did 1 stage on leg one and first 5 on leg two.

Just goes to show you how hard it can be going from one side of the world to another in a car you haven't put together yourself.

I was once told that it is miles easier to make a car that performs well on tarmac fast on gravel then the other way around.

Thanks Budd.

He has **** luck at GB.

Broke the front hub on a rut on Stage 1 and bent the wheel 45degrees and was close (5secs) to the lead PWRC pace at that point.

Rejoined on Day 2 and had...

Did anyone capture that one on video? Awesome picture sequence.

Is he still going?

Hayden sent me a text saying that he bent the front wheel 45degrees after he hit a hole (dug up by cars ahead) on the line of a tight left hander (no fault of his own). Was 5secs behind D.Higgens at...

It would help if the WRC applet for stage times was not buggy!!!
Not to mention you cant select the stage you want to look at!!!

Switched to Stage 2 and I wanted to look at 1!!! Girrr

Sure, maybe Aitkinsen, Latvala, P.Solberg and Hirvonen can stay ahead of Loeb.

But going on past results.

Aitkinsen will be fast out of the blocks and then fall off.(Lets hope not)
Latvala...

Hehe. Yeah John has worked for the SWRT before in Britain and has experience co-driving in Britain I think. (Could have caused the confusion) So it should help Hayden as he is a damn good co-driver....
