    No apology needed. We are all in the forum because we enjoy rally and like to share thoughts with one another :-)

    This one pissed me off to no end.

    It refused to accept Dani Sordo... I'll be honest, I had no idea he was actually called Daniel. It also refused to accept Miki Biasion and Massimo Biasion because it wanted it in the stupid format Massimo 'Miki' Bisaion. As a result I lost a lot of time and only got 30

    ...athough I doubt I would have scored over 36 because there were a lot of names in the 70's and 80's that I didn't recognize.

    You don't need to write full names. Last usually does - Loeb, Ogier, etc. Though it has some quirks, like Tomi Makinen & Timo Makinen is not the same family name

    I lost over minute to figure out Waldegard is not "Valdegard", but that was my own problem.

    That's fine. But when You get some debate over some opinion, You expect some arguments against it. I got only 1 and assumed I was wrong to accept other's opinion. That's why I apologized.

    I think also in Sweden we could find some very good stage from Ogier.

    As for the others, the stage of the year is for me Paddon's El Condor in Argentina. He gave 10 (T-E-N!) seconds to the world champion who is steps ahead of all the other drivers, in the same field and in only 12 kms in the last and decisive stage of the rally. It has my convinced vote.

    They basically say that the cheating was very well masked. They explain the system and say it is the biggest cheating in the history of the FIA.
    Auriol says he didn't know anything about it but did noticed the difference in power. Sainz and Delecour can't really believe the drivers didn't know a thing about it.
    Rumours were that the difference was about 30-40 BHP, but nobody knows exactly (accept for Toyota I presume )

    There is no question how well he did, I kind of wonder though what happened after this to him. Was it some kind of 1 show off, then everything goes how it usually goes, or was it some kind of "wow, how the heck did that happened, I'm confused"?

    No need to talk about Ogier anyway. He did his 90% well on the rallies, when he needs to push, we can encounter it.

    I'm sorry to tell you, but only typing the last names was enough.

    Edit: sorry, Stefan was quicker with his response, didn't see it.

    He is Nordic, can do just fine with Finnish and all other (Nordic) names well.

    I am almost sure it was much more than this.
