[IRC] Cyprus Rally 2011

No, on the contrary, he was a lot slower as Nasser and so is Loix.

Ss7 is 100% tarmac so I expected Kopecky to be faster than Nasser.....but he wasnt.

Driving asphalt on gravel tyres and suspension is quite different to driving with proper suspension and tyres. Nasser is used to that from previous events on Cyprus.

Good morning guys!
Well, Lately there was an interview with Kruuda in Estonian and he said that his Skoda is a bit old and not as fast as the fastest cars, but also the price is not that high and it is good car for learning 4WD and gainig experience (the balance between the speed and price is right).
So, on the downhill stage and bit cleaner road, the result is logical

Nice to see someone give an honest appraisal instead of just whining!

I know there are different from real tarmac tyres and setups so Kopecky should have been faster in my opinion. But its the same for him if he ends second or third related to the championship so maybe he didnt push.
Troodos Rally have been nearly almost gravel rally and the same with Cyprus Rally in the past so Nasser have not so much tarmac-experience from Cyprus.

As they just pointed out on the Eurosport UK commentary, the final stage of the season will be live on tv!

I must say the Cyrpus stages are really great for tv.

[Berzs]

Nasser no-brained it on SS8. Spectacular to watch. Mikkelsen will have to go all out on the second loop to keep his lead.

I think since 2008 they run asphalt stages in Cyprus

By the way very crazy driving by Nasser in TV stage!

[wwbroe]

Yes, and even making two mistakes, with one spin, he is still the fastest man trough the stage, really great driving, but also taking a lot of risks.

Does somebody know if you can score drivers championshippoints being under superrally, like for example Hanninen is for the moment?

And 2008 is not in the past......Nasser has been driving on the island for 8-9 years.
