There's the sportsmanlike gentleman I'm so fond of. ;)

Ah, thanks, I didn't know that... though I've looked up the 2012 Exige S, and it seems to have 345hp, which is restricted to 302hp in the R-GT.
So it's still a downgrade from the stock car, albeit...

R-GT seemed like a totally unsuitable spec for the Exige anyways. A minimum weight 1200kg, when the road-going car is 930. Makes the competition version worse than the stock Exige S.

lol, that'd be funny, but it's not going to happen. It'd be pointless anyway; Loeb could ignore the orders, and the team can't do anything about it.

That seems like a pretty good score actually. 19 stage wins while close to the leader? Not bad.
I agree that he may be the least valuable of the current factory drivers (Loeb, JML, Mikko). But he's...

Excellent photos! very nice

nevermind, I'm hearing their new interview on WRR and it seems like Loeb isn't actually angry at Mikko's actions

wow I'm surprised, that's really unsportsmanlike behaviour. Mikko's intentions seemed innocent enough. This is rally, sometimes conditions aren't perfect. I wouldn't expect him to sit around waiting...

Being a Petter fan usually seems to result in disappointment :( . Seriously, how does someone get four punctures in one day??

Wow this is a really bad break for Nassar. To think you've won the rally, then discover you're disqualified for a technical infringement that (as far as I know) doesn't affect performance, must be...

I think Quesnel meant the drivers were equal before the season started... and he proved that was true by letting this fight happen. Now that Loeb (presumably) has a big lead in the championship, it'd...

I doubt there's much worry about Ogier leaving Citroen... they're still his best chance for victory. If VW enters they likely won't be competitive for a year or two at least, and by then Loeb might...

Brutal :( He'd been showing impressive driving this weekend. So close to the finish!

But to be honest, I'm pretty disappointed that Ogier gets off free with that infraction just because he's on...

To be honest I'm not too worried about this when it's coming from Mitsubishi. It's not that manufacturers are ditching performance cars, its just that Mitsubishi is ditching gasoline cars in general....

YES!! this annoys me so much

Anyone know how much fuel is in the cars when they get weighed?

lol yeah he is clearly a bot

Great fight between the two world champs!

Puncture, apparently

Brutal :( he was so impressive today.

Though Petter and his 'gearbox problem' look like they'll slide into the perfect position for tomorrow.

it would be wisest, I think, to just ignore the troll(s)- everyone else agrees that you can't make any useful judgement based on those videos

absolutely, though no more than I want to see a lot of any other car

Oh dear :( There are already few enough cars available, it'd be unfortunate if one has to get wrecked every rally.

It's a shame that Sordo won't be in a Citroen, but it's not entirely...

Very true, I'd forgotten.

Any way you look at it, there are a lot of people here who could win- it's going to be the most competitive rally of the season, I think!

It might make sense to run the Stobart team as Fiesta S2000s, but Hirvonen still has the chance to (somewhat) salvage his damaged reputation this year, and that of the Focus WRC.
