road position/stopping on stage

Right, as I've said before, how many of you emailed Ford and Citroën and complained?
I assume you all did, and so you probably had the same extremely enlightening (and disturbing) replies that I got, in which case, why is this being discussed?

Could you tell us, what they wrote?

Starting with yours ?

I don't think there's any need to be offensive.

I agreed with you that there was no need for the sorts of comments that you so eloquently include: "Ford cheat0rz !" and "hey Loeb cheat0rz too in Mexico !"

I merely objected that I had not agreed that the FIA needed to change the rule, which you seemed to be implying in your post. If, when you said "We have already agreed that FIA should change the rule" you did not include everyone on the forum, I apologize and request that you choose your words more carefully in the future.

I finally note that you ask for no flaming, in which case I myself ask for no more trolling.

I'd be interested in the content of that email too

Ok sorry, I thought you were referring as "stupid comment" the one I posted above.

*apologies*

Ps. Yes everybody agreed that the rule wasn't correct now, and even the one before needed some fix ! Perfect solution has to be found yet. What about 30 sec (or more, like 1 min) given to each 1 and 2 day winner ?

Alright then

Do you think that if we gave 30 seconds to the winner of day 1 and day 2 that people wouldn't complain?

If drivers are doing this and Loeb is complaining/feeling burned by the tactics, at the end of the day he too could use such tactics and play the waiting game...

Nothing is stopping Loeb and EVERY other driver doing the same thing, so I don't think it's such a massive issue. You just need to be a little more clever than the other guy.

I don't recall Loeb complaining, and yes he does it too, it just doesn't work the same all the time. From what we've seen so far, Greece and Turkey are the only two events where the road position matters for Loeb, and that's because of cheap tyres, not because of position rules.
