Actually this is serious issue. It is very difficult to make all tyre sidewalls identical. That's the reason(and tyre pressure) you hear so often drivers in racing complaining havin bad set of tyres. The golden rule in Nascar is, newer complain Goodyear tires(drivers do not even say,they had a puncture.Better world is we had a cut tyre!)because next race they get wrong side wall tires.
Is there some super specials, because Eurosport is showing every day some live one hour programes?

Thanks Pentti, at last someone who is informed nevertheless of surreptitious matter....Nobody reacted here if I say something like that because they do not realise how it is in big business. For this reason large company´s become always larger and richer, people believe nothing and want be deceived. mokin:

To those who keeps reminding, as I do myself from time to time, that the results only was from the SD and means nothing: I know, but I will keep commenting upon it, since it is always something to chit chat abt, and i will also, from time to time, add a remark like "ah...it´s just the shakedown, som it doesn´t matter", but most of the time I will disregard it. I know, everybody knows, but since it is one of our biggest interests; why not comment upon it?

DJ: Didn´t remember it was decided that long time in advance. But on the other hand one always feel a little stupid when you present the facts; i keep wondering how you know it all. You also tend to have that icy Räikkönen-style tone that sends chills down my spine and makes me feel even more stupid and ignorant. bah... But I´ll guess I´ll keep on posting stupid remarks abt ralling anyways now and then; ignorance will stand tall! Nice weekend to ya all!

I can't read anything you're writing in your crazy moscow-english style.

I see Mark Higgins will make the start but may retire shortly after if in pain.

[A.F.F.]

Shakedown is nothing more than a slight indication, Loeb will win again be sure.

Funny that some can be so sure. :rolleys:

Tyres are never the same. The right front tyre of Loebs car is not the same of the left back tyre for example. All tyres made by BF-Goodrich is given to FIA and they selected the tyres for the teams. Everybody has a chance of good and bad tyres. It is the team's work to choose the rigth sort of tyre in rally and stage.
