50th Rallye Sanremo 2008

[Tom206wrc]

Vouilloz fastest of all :)

[wwbroe]

Vouilloz fastest of all :)

Yes, and about three seconds faster as Loix, so the fight for the podium goes on. ;)

[Tom206wrc]

Cavallini lost a lot :eek:
Edit: small off for Cavallini...

But as on live-timing they have often wrong times for this year Sanremo(it's not the first time they remove 1 minute to some drivers) :mark:

[Tom206wrc]

STAGE STOPPED once again(accident of Broccoli - crew OK) :eek: :eek:

[wwbroe]

STAGE STOPPED once again(accident of Broccoli - crew OK) :eek: :eek:

One more stage stopped, the backrunners don't have much luck, they competed at exactly one stage today. If you go and count the price/Km i think they will think twice before entering this rallyformat again. :mad:

[Mirek]

It seems that 50th aniversary will be remembered as one of the worst years :(

For those who haven't seen TV. Scandola broke both right wheels, tried to continue (those sparks were because back of his car was sliding on the road). Sotille hit a wall by the right back of the car. Casier also hit a wall or something in left hand corner. Looked like he may ripped his front right wheel off.

[N.O.T]

Although i am not happy about the accidents it shows that the San Remo rally is a true challenge for driver skill. Its very nice that we didn;t have any injuries so far.

[Tom206wrc]

So sad Gilles Panizzi didn't take part to it this year...regarding his experience of the roads and last year's pace of him with the S2000 he could have done something really good ;(


But money, money and sponsors are all what drivers need at all costs to do their favourite sports :mad:

I'd like to see Panizzi also in a 207...but if my memery is good: last year his pace wasn't that good, at least less than I expected....
Yes, thats what they need for rallying:€'s

[pucky54]

It was his first competition in a S2000 car. Would like to see him back in IRC next year

[wwbroe]

What a pace from Elwis Chentre, he is still in first place in 2WD category and has extended his lead to second place man to 17,5 s. Another difference is that Elwis in in A6 class and the folowing cars are all A7 class. Great pace of Chentre once more. ;)

[pucky54]

ja Broccoli is out now, so his advantage is bigger than before

[Tom206wrc]

I'd like to see Panizzi also in a 207...but if my memery is good: last year his pace wasn't that good, at least less than I expected....
Yes, thats what they need for rallying:€'s



He was among the top 3 on the two first stages...at the end of the rally he was 4th overall...but hampered by an accelerator problem caused him late at assistance with 40s penalty(anf fall 7th overall) all that for his first outing in competition with the car I don't think it was what we can call off the pace :p :

[Tom206wrc]

By the way, final results of leg 1 is available now ;)


Let's hope less stopped stages tomorrow :mark:

[Mirek]

Patrizia Sciascia:

[wwbroe]

So Cantamessa made it back to service with this car? I wonder why he received notinal time, because he had the off in stage 4, and received same time as all the other's. :confused:

[wwbroe]

Good morning, stage 9 should be live now. ;)

[wwbroe]

Basso 12'30"4 and Rosetti 12'33"8 ;)

[wwbroe]

Best time for Vouiilloz with 12'28"1, who jumps obver Loix to third position. Time of Loix is 12'28"1.

[karlzoro]

Best time for Vouiilloz with 12'28"1, who jumps obver Loix to third position. Time of Loix is 12'28"1.

it isn't over yet, let 's go Freddy :hot:

[wwbroe]

Andreucci is loosing a lot of time, he lost 2'40" on this stage, what is happening with him? :confused:

[wwbroe]

If i understand it right he had a puncture at the left side? :confused:

[wwbroe]

And Longhi is now in front in Gr. N category, i mean without the S2000 cars. ;)

[wwbroe]

Great time for Patrizia Sciascia who is setting tenth time on this stage. ;)

[karlzoro]

I'm waiting for the times of the 2nd stage of the day...they are already underway on Passo Teglia 1

[wwbroe]

Both Andreucci and Travaglia retired if i understand it well :confused: :confused: :confused:

[karlzoro]

I'm waiting for the times...there first cars would be at the finish in a few moments...

[wwbroe]

Rosetti is 11"5 faster then Basso on stage 10.

[karlzoro]

Loix 9 faster than Rossetti

[wwbroe]

Best time for Loix who is another 8"9 sec faster then Rosetti. Great time by Freddy ;)

[wwbroe]

It is taking a long time before they have time of Vouilloz?

[karlzoro]

It is taking a long time before they have time of Vouilloz?

yes, thats my feeling also..

[wwbroe]

Vouiiloz another 2,5 sec faster, it will be close for second and third podiumplace. ;)

[karlzoro]

Vouiiloz another 2,5 sec faster, it will be close for second and third podiumplace. ;)

??? I don't see any times....

edit: OK now

[wwbroe]

Vouilloz only 0.6 sec behind Rosetti now, if he finishes second i think the championship may be over? ;)

[karlzoro]

on 12u42 & 13u24 I will behind my computer to follow the last stages...
0.6s: the advantage of Rossetti on Vouilloz...Freddy on 8s of 2nd place

[wwbroe]

Andreucci, and Travaglia are both in general classification after stage 10, so i guess the news of their retirement was false. ;)

[karlzoro]

See you all this at 12h42 for the last stages....

[wwbroe]

Navarra, who restarted under "superrally" is making strong time also, with second time overall, at only a few tenths of a second of Vouiiloz' time.

[wwbroe]

Let's say Basso wins and Vouilloz second, then championship is still open, but Basso will have to go to China to take victory over there. As Voullioz is not going there normally, everything will be to play for in Valais in four weeks time. ;)

[Macro]

the stage 10 is stoped?

[Tom206wrc]

Big attack from Vouilloz and in a lesser extent from Loix on Rossetti for 2nd position today :p :

But anyway Rox priority is the CIR not really IRC :confused:

[wwbroe]

the stage 10 is stoped?

I don't think so, why do you ask?

[wwbroe]

Another fine performance of Chentre Elwis, i cannot repeat it enough, this guy really has the pace. Love to see him in a "bigger" car. ;)

[Tom206wrc]

the stage 10 is stoped?



Problems with live-timing service :rolleyes:


Claudio has a performing live text on Rallylink, thanks to it we can follow the event more normally(I already gave the link a few pages earlier) ;)

[Macro]

the results page is bolcked... but now it works (bf goodrich and cronoimperia)

[wwbroe]

Yes, this is really great stuff. Sometimes it is a litlle difficult to understand everything but most of the time we are managing quite well. If you speak a litlle French it makes it easier also. :p

[PLuto]

It looks that Loix has problems with transmissions.

[wwbroe]

Or teamorders after all?

[karlzoro]

mmm, so the podium will be:
1 Basso
2 Vouilloz
3 Rossetti
4...I hope Loix

[PLuto]

Quote to wwbroe: I dont think so. We will see on last stage, Travaglia is now 27 seconds behind Freddy.

[wwbroe]

I dont think so. We will see on last stage, Travaglia is now 27 seconds behind Freddy.

Yes, if it is really transmission problem, he will probably loose fourth place also to Travaglia. :mad:

[karlzoro]

I dont think so. We will see on last stage, Travaglia is now 27 seconds behind Freddy.

that are also my thoughts...it would be pitty after a strong rally of Freddy...

[wwbroe]

In the mean time i know for sure that Van Dalen gave team-orders to his drivers. We will see what Freddy will do on last one. Pitty it has to go like this, but i guess that is the case when you are in such a team. :mad:

:mark:

[PLuto]

Tactics for Vouilloz was go full attack and try to beat Rossetti, Freddy had to go more carefully than Vouilloz to keep the result.

[wwbroe]

It would have been better that they let Freddy go to attack Rosetti also, but i guess they prefere Nico to take second, to be more sure about championship. Still i find it a litlle bit strange tactics. :mad:

[wwbroe]

Last stage should be live now, i am curious to see final result, but i guess we won't see any more changes.

I hope so...but Rossetti may take Vouilloz back for me :p :

[Tom206wrc]

I feel gutted for Fast Freddy :(

Transmission problem for Fast Freddy :rolleyes:

[karlzoro]

I feel gutted for Fast Freddy :(

thanks :)

I had a look to the stagetimes of 2007...Panizzi was indeed on or not far from the pace...excuse me :p :

[karlzoro]

I'm waiting for the laste stage times... :rolleyes:

[wwbroe]

Basso at the finish of the last stage, and taking a deserved victory. ;)

[PLuto]

I'm waiting for the laste stage times... :rolleyes:

We all are waiting :D

[karlzoro]

yes it is a deserved win for giandomenico

[piquet20]

yes! :s mokin:

[wwbroe]

Rosetti also at finish of stage.

[karlzoro]

Rossetti 12sec behinf Basso on last stage...Vouilloz will be 2nd now :(

[karlzoro]

don't look good for Freddy...looses 1min on the last stage...Travaglia on 4??

[wwbroe]

Loix is loosing another 1'12" on last stage, so probably it will be only fifth for him. :mad:

[PLuto]

And Freddy slow, but in finish.

[wwbroe]

And Voullioz fastest man on stage and taking second overall. Congratulations Nico.

[wwbroe]

Travaglia takes fourth place overall and Loix only fifth, pitty for him but i guess that is rallying. Cant wait to hear what was the exact reason for this slow stagetimes. :mad:

[Macro]

Travaglia skipped Loix in the last stage...troubles...not tactics

[karlzoro]

Travaglia takes fourth place overall and Loix only fifth, pitty for him but i guess that is rallying. Cant wait to hear what was the exact reason for this slow stagetimes. :mad:

mmm...i had mixed feelings...
pitty that he loses a nice rallyresult o nthe alst 2 stages...
strange...but sh*t can happen I gues :(

Although: diserved victory for Basso & a strong performance of Basso (outstanding), Rossetti, Loix & Vouilloz for the "close racing" until the last stages

[wwbroe]

Now it remains to be seen what will happen in Valais. If Basso can continu his strong pace over there, and Abarth is going to do China, Giandomenico can still clinch the championship. It will be hard fight i guess. Anyhow, a deserved victory for Basso, strong pace of Voullioz and Loix, also Rosetti but he had to bear in mind his Italian championship, so i guess he wasn't flat out today.
We will see now what the rest of championship brings us.

[Wim_Impreza]

Vouilloz is a bit of Loeb now: he has again luck and his rivals have technical problems this year or don't have the budget for a full IRC.

Overall standings of IRC after Sanremo (http://www.autosport.cz/souteze/bodovani.php?id=24)

Thanks Pluto, i think it will be all decided in Valais in four weeks time. If not, maybe Peugeot will have to go to China to take the title. ;)

[Macro]

Vouilloz has 60 points (not 56 like in Autosport website).

[PLuto]

Vouilloz has 60 points (not 56 like in Autosport website).

No, Vouilloz has 56 points :) Dont remember, that in IRC you are counting only 7 best results.

[wwbroe]

Vouilloz has 60 points (not 56 like in Autosport website).

Yes, but you can only count the best seven of them, that is why Pluto made the correct standings. If you look well you will see that his worst result (Russi 4Pts) is not calculated in the overall standings. ;)

[Tom206wrc]

Congrats to Basso for the IRC victory :up:

Congrats to Rossetti for the CIR win and italian championship victory :up:

[Macro]

Sorry... is seven not eigth,ok!!

[Tom206wrc]

Patrizia Sciascia crashed on SS12 and blocked the road(explaining the lateness for the rest of results)...so cloth to the arrival ;(

It seems that reason of Fabia S2000 retirement was power steering pump. Nothing serious.

[atsiotras79]

I am looking for DVDs from the San Remo Rally 2008. Does anybody know if a company or more will produce any?

[Mirek]

Well, power steering pump problem for Fabia confirmed. It was making some pulses into steering so they decided to stop preventively.
