Well here I actually do think that Loeb can control the first place.......but otherwise I fully agree with you. After last season everyone was saying how Petter doesn't have speed.. Who has most...

Well kind of not very impressed by sordo whole weekend. He was clearly behind the other 3 factory drivers in terms of speed and basically at about same place (even time-wise) he would have been in a...

That's the video, but there is no crest or anything like that (as he says about the moment when it broke) and when you see them fixing the car it's on completely different spot on the right side of...

It's linked on page 28 here, the quality is rather low, but there's some dark area (at 7-8 secs in), might be stone or just a deep rut so that the road hits the sumpguard as he said. Anyway you can...

Care to explain how it was 100% driver error? I fail to see it, but the again I don't drive rallycars on gravel at 100 kph+.

He goes exactly on the line and there is a stone in it at the second...

Hirvonen is better for Citroen, quiet, behind Loeb, mostly consistent (bare 2010),



So I watched the video... and would like your 100 euro. You don't mind or? :)

That's why the parts have tolerances, the new ones are on the low edge of the tolerance.

Anyway my point wasn't what is fair/unfair relative to the advantage gained. My point was that when it...

So 2 mins for 72 and 82 grams of difference on handmade parts, which Proton blames on inaccurate scales used during homologation.


Tbh I don't really like the penalty, actually think it's too...

Finished watching 1 hour rally summary.

Close moments for Latvala, Hirvonen and a huge sideways slide by Solberg all from first two days that I didn't see before. Sordo, Tanak and Loeb going off...

I decided to put on a flag in my profile, being accused of coming from a different country. Didn't do that before because I believe that looking first at the flag and then judging someone's comment...

Latvala - very good, only mistake probably not his fault, would have imo won even if Loeb didn't land in snowbank

Hirvonen - good, but I was expecting him to do even better, after all this is his...

Continuing with the 2005 Japan example the rock back then was kicked from the side of the road into the line by the preceding car.

Here the running order was Solberg-Hirvonen-Latvala-Mikkelsen,...

How can you be sure it was his mistake?
2 other drivers seems to have hit the same rock.
Remember Petter crashing out of japan in 2005? The rock in the line then was impossible to evade as...

heh, is everyone (Solberg, Latvala, Mikkelsen) hitting the same rock?

too bad, would be better if the fight lasted until the end

When it comes to stupid mistakes without any pressure then Ogiers record from last rallies - Monte, GB, Australia is certainly much worse than Mikkelsens.

Probably just told both of them to take...

With Mads halving the distance to Solberg there's at least something to watch on the second leg.
Hopefully there won't be any team orders, don't quite see the reason for them actually. Manufacturers...

Well on SS19 at last split Mikkelsen was 8 secs ahead of Ogier and at same time with P.G. Then at the finish he was only 3 ahead of Ogier and 7 behind P.G. yet he didn't say anything about it in the...

This short SS when there's little snow in Sweden and they only drive on artificially made ice somehow fit S2000 a lot.

In 2010 6 out of 10 first cars were S2000, including 1st and 2nd place:...

Times for leg 2 only:
eWRC-results.com - results Rally Sweden 2012

well Loeb doesn't seem to really be pushing, yesterday after the off people were expecting him to climb to podium. Even as late as today there were people thinking he'll catch Novikov today, now it...

It's just that in 3 consecutive end of stage interviews he had to point out that Mikkelsen runs 10 cars later. Sounded almost like Solberg when he gets to the excuses mood.

I guess not....
Peterson: 2nd in championship 2 times, 3rd once.
Solberg: 1st in championship once, 2nd 3 times, 3rd once.

Peterson was for some years fastest by raw speed, well Solberg was that...

He actually signed as nr.2 driver. Wilson explicitly stated that if Petter is ahead of Latvala and there's no driver between them he has to let him ahead.
Anyway in the past few years, Latvala and...

... and he did it again :)
The chap seems rather interested in how they performances compare.
