Yeah, in case of no live covergae I'd rather see additional points given for the longest or most difficult stage than for a short test...

And Russia is one of the biggest and fastest-growing car markets for many manufacturers. For example, in 2011 Russia was the biggest European market for Subaru.

Why do yo say so? VW still haven't signed a second driver (not second like "support", but another)...

In case of Novikov it's a bit different. He's performed together with best Russian co-drivers, one of the best Asia-Pacific co-drivers and two of the best co-drivers in the world, but every time he's...

He has a point though, but there's one condition.
When a driver goes "by ears" (virtually by his co-driver's reading notes), he needs to completely trust him, and thus the co-driver's contribution...

Depends on how they make up the contract...

I didn't suggest they'd split. I said they could divide roles, like Citroen and Peugeot do in rallying/racing. The factory is responsible for the works team, while a contractor (Kronos/Oreca) helps...

some arguments\supporting points, please. Otherwise it's just a contr-statement of yours against me.

That's why a wise move for a mig manufacturer like them, with their own sport department (is Jost Capito still there?), would be to run their own programme. Full control of budget, money and efforts...

I wouldn't be surprised if Ford ran their official works rally programme separately from M-Sport, the british squad being just their Customers.

Race of Champions ))

Can his last sentence mean that he's now the Ford's lead driver?

Hahah, Ogier lost his co-driver)))
I remember a few years ago some driver in rally-raids left his co-driver somewhere in the middle of a stage of the Dakar marathon... Perhaps it was Sainz, I'm not...

Nooooooo.. Mistake by Meeke... 3rd place to Henning if nothing happens to the norwegian((

A Spaniard, according to Loeb's words.

I understand he's also a Scandinavian, I usually also support Nordic drivers, but do you really want a slower driver to take the pdoium against a much faster driver with more need of a high result...

Wow... 1.8 seconds for the PowerStage!

Believe me, I also want Kris to finish on the podium. I just say it might be a bit out of reach in the end...

It's always more difficult to make as big of a difference on the second pass.

By the way, after this rally Latvala will be the season's leader in terms of stage wins!
Latvala: Current 56 + (at least) 10 = 66
Loeb: Current 60 + 5 = 65
Ogier: Current 53 + (at least) 1 = 54
...

Not so sure(( He needs to take at least 10 (or more) seconds out of Henning on the next stage if he stands any chances of catching him on the last one, which is very short.

Judging by his own pace and future potential - not.

I hope that Meeke can catch H.Solberg on the last stages... He deserves a podium.

It's a shame that now the runner-up is more than 3 minutes behind the leader, while 3rd place is even further behind - over 6(!!!) minutes...

For once, I agree with NOTer, it's to early to make any assumptions or predictions, but... again, what IF the Fiesta just didn't suit Hirvonen as well as partner? And if he feels comfortable behind...
