IRC Monte Carlo 2010

It's been great tv today. Very entertaining to watch the cars sliding on the knackered tyres. Mikko was great on the last one.

I just used the RTF online streaming and it worked very well. Is this live on real television in Belgium (on RTF) too?

It is really great how we can follow the rally live on both Eurosport and internet, together with the rally-radio. The WRC can take an example at this coverage.

No, it is not live on Belgian TV, RTBF is using images from Eurosport on their live-stream.

Can anyone except Mikko win this without mistakes now? Looks difficult unless they get a run of stage wins. Ogier took 41secs on SS6 then lost 34 of those precious seconds on the next one to Mikko. Consistent pace needed now with over a minute lead.

I thought Meeke had a chance and then Hanninen closed on the first 2 this morning but lost it all again on the third.

I guess it mostly comes down to tyrechoice, and second run trough that might even be more difficult. Don't forget last stage of the day will be run in the dark. But great run by Mikko and very good coverage by Eurosport.

Mikko and the Fiesta S2000 really are a class above at the moment, would have to agree unless he gest a bad puncture or stuck in a snow bank its hard to see him loosing it from here. But I'm hoping for Seb Ogier to continue to push and to put pressure on Mikko. Loving the coverage so far, this is what the WRC NEEDS!!

Actually I am amazed by the number of punctures. Two for Meeke, 1 for sarrazin, 2 for Kopecky, 1 for Gardemeister and many, many more. I have never seen so many before.. except Tallinn Rally two or three years ago, when 17 tires were punctured in one corner :-)

[Sulland]

Even if it is Mikko driving, looks like the Fiesta S2000 is a winner straight out of the box !
Would have liked to see it in the hands of Maurin, to have a comparison with how much is mikko and how much is the car. But Tires also have a role here. Pirreli makes good tires for damp asphalt.

I am impressed with M-Sport, doing this in such a short time !

Seb bet on ice, Mikko on tarmac. As result, Ogier won only 10 seconds after 3 stages. Haninen is in the same level as Hirvonen, his second place in safe. The main question who will be third? The Frenchman!
