They should break slowsons rally license into 1 bil. pieces for being to slow.
Even get kicked by Ostberg and Flodin (who never drived a wrc car before) with older cars.. HAHAH EMBARASING
Perez Companc will probably advance in the overall tomorrow while slowson drops more. Some n4 drivers will pass him too probably.

But I think we are demanding too much to the loaded son? How can he get motivation to fight while he doesn't have to care for his future? Others here are doing their best to improve more and gain some money and for their future.

For the loaded son, rallying or not it doesn't matter for his life in the future.

Well Tomi, I think it´s time for a story of 70´s moral in recce or practising. A dealer´s team sent a couple of mechanics with chain saws to cut a shortcut on a stage in a Finnish Championship rally. The trees were cut, but an other dealer´s team found it out, and sent a few very strong local men to make an blockage with those trees one kilometre from the start of the shortcut. The shortcutters had to reverse back.
I wonder if things like that happens anymore. If not, rallying has lost a lot!

funny story :)

Have you noticed that today times for Kpecky in teh Skoda are geting quite better. Lasta 4 SS he was more in the speed of Latvala, and faster than Flodin, Otsberg, and so on. HE has learnt quick and going much faster.

Yes, times for the last 2 stages in particular were very good. It's nice to see someone developing his driving and setup to improve so much during a rally. I hope he can carry it over to Norway.

Maybe. He most feel great winning his first wrc stage in the last stage of the day.
But Kopecky has been faster in 5 of 7 stages this day and was 30sec behind at end of friday but now only 1 sec.
He was ahead Östberg before the sprint, so it could be hard for him tomorrow (to keep the place before Kopecky).

I agree ... no good, but Wilson ... come on. There's a reason (beyond 4 min lost in the ditch).

Penalties
25 G. GALLI (I) TC 15 7 M LATE AT TC 15 1:10

He would been 14th, ahead of Wilson and Sordo too. Not that it would have been a great position either.

Don't get me wrong, Gigi was stunning for the first few stages. But he has to get back to that level of performance. He lost 4 minutes when he went off, but has lost a lot of time again. I hope he can be as fast as that in Norway and keep it up :up:

In Norway we call it the cranck house airing so if thats blocked the presure inside the engine would build, basicly the oil pressure.

Some news on Petter it was revealed that the engine was about to fail and only had a few km left so it could have failed at the end of Sweden ore at the start of Norway, if they have to change the engine in sweden then they woulg get 30sec for Norway am i right.

Armindo Araújo at the end of yesterday's leg: “This was a very difficult day because as did not have cluth, it didn't permit to do any error. Any road exit, any donuts, could signify the retirement, since I could not gear it reverse. Due to the clutch problems, we lost also much times at the special stages starts and it obliged me to a more abrupt driving, inadequate to the road conditions. If we will add to clutch problems, the concerns related to if the gearbox could hold through all the leg, you can have a small idea, how it was a very demanding day. "

Hey Bruno, how are you going to vote on abortion?

How come that you in Finland know that we are going today vote on abortion?? I was very impressed with the Finn's know-how and culture, when I visit Finland and the Neste Rally Finland in 2003, but know I'm flabbergasted........

We have news agencies too, it's all on our national newspaper (http://www.hs.fi/ulkomaat/artikkeli/Aborttikiista+jakaa+portugalilaisia/1135225008000).

But my question was, what is your position, pro-abortion or against it?

We already vote on abortion in 1998 and the No won!! At that time I voted against abortion, and so I will do this time.

However, taking into account the different surveys allready made, it seems that the pro-abortion will win this time.
But also in 1998 the surveys predicted that the Yes would win, but at the end the No won.

Bruno Portela

11th February 2007, 09:06

Sohlberg loosing 30 sec in the first split to the fastest driver in the SS! Isn't that a bit to much?

jonkka

11th February 2007, 09:06

When Malta is rerun as SS19, it looks likely to be the fastest stage of the rally. Already second fastest and only 2khp behind...

Bruno Portela

11th February 2007, 09:10

Araujo faster than Svedlung in the first split!!! Impressive!!

A.F.F.: If we would had a 4th leg, as in the 80's, Armindo was going to catch Sohlberg :) :)

But being male and not having to deal with the effects of pregnancy on your body and mental state, do you feel that you are in a position to have much of a say on the topic?

Sorry, but it always makes me so annoyed when males start harping on about abortion, because in the end, it doesnt affect them as much as the woman, and a woman should have more of a say about what happens to her body than some guy with an opinion. People complain about overpopulation but then say that people shouldnt be allowed to have abortions, it's stupid.

But back to the subject of the rally, i've kinda lost interest now. I've only got chris left to barrack for..

Problems for Aigner in SS17.

Bruno Portela

11th February 2007, 09:30

So did I, allthough being faster in tarmac than on loose surface, should be a good sign for the underperformance in this rally. He only manage 2 top-ten times, and it was on both Super Special Stages. :down:

I'll be pleasantly surprised if Atko does stay in front of a local. 6th is a reasonable result for this rally for him.

He is not much better than last year, I think.

Tomi

About same yes, will be interesting to see how he will go on gravel, my guess in european rallyes he wont get to the points.

Last year was Atkinson pretty good in Sweden too ;)

ST205GT4

11th February 2007, 09:41

If Atko does stay in 5th/6th till the end it's a good start to the year on surfaces he's not at his best on. More importantly he's not throwing the car off the road, whilst still being competitive.

It will be interesting to see how he fares once the gravel rounds start. Whether he tries to push it too hard in the hopes of coming out with a really good result and throws it off or whether he can take it to the big guys and not go off.

Bruno Portela

11th February 2007, 09:41

About same yes, will be interesting to see how he will go on gravel, my guess in european rallyes he wont get to the points.

I agree with Tomi, the competition in the european gravel rallys will be very tough, there will be many ex-works WRC driven by very fast drivers entering. February 16th the entries for the Portuguese round will close, but as far as I've heard there will be many WRC.
