Rally Norway 2009

[Halvard]

Good morning.

This is very exiting. I hope we norwegian don`t get to disappointed today.... Top 3 for Henning, top 5 for Petter. Isn`t that a good result???

But ofcourse we can hope for 1st and 2nd....

[A.F.F.]

I'm sorry Halvard but positions 1 and 2 are already booked ;)

[Viking]

Good morning rallyfans!

Interesting stages today (with the new tyres).

[Halvard]

I'm sorry Halvard but positions 1 and 2 are already booked ;)

So I guessed... but then Latvala could easily end up off road. It depends in which direction he jumps... And Hirvonene vs Loeb..... I don`t know but Loeb looked quick on SD.

[Viking]

Weather forecast for Finnskogen, cold and sunny :)

[Tom206wrc]

[Tom206wrc]

Where is Sordo ???? :confused:

[A.F.F.]

Hirvonen -0.3 faster than Loeb at first split.

[jonkka]

Where is Sordo ???? :confused:

Good question, the should be bigger gap between Mikko and Henning if Dani was running blind...

[Daniel]

Cheers Wim :wave:

And good morning folks.

I just woke up, fed the cat, made some coffee and opened all the browsers needed for this rally. I'm ready as ever :)

Good mornin to you too! I've had a good morning. The woman is out of the house and I can sit and follow the rally in peace :p


I'm sorry Halvard but positions 1 and 2 are already booked ;)

Loeb and who else? :D

[shaitan]

why no sordo‘s time everytime?

[A.F.F.]

Loeb and who else? :D

Sordo of course. I'm Loeb's and Sordo's biggest fan.

[Daniel]

Sordo of course. I'm Loeb's and Sordo's biggest fan.

Don't be surprised if you wake up tomorrow morning with a reindeer head in your bed.

[A.F.F.]

Way to go Mikko :bounce:

[shaitan]

Sordo of course. I'm Loeb's and Sordo's biggest fan.

[darkstar]

h. solberg is pretty slow...

[Tom206wrc]

OK Sordo is here... ;)


Faster than Henning !!! :eek:

[A.F.F.]

Does your splits work? My are jammed :(


EDIT: Sorry, they work again.

[garais22]

http://bil.glomdalen.no/rally/ Perfect :D

[shaitan]

sounds like all in busyness.

[Halvard]

Slow connection at work.... :(

Could someone say something about the splittimes?

I know Henning is slow btw

[muscrae]

http://bil.glomdalen.no/rally/ Perfect :D

:D :D :D

[A.F.F.]

Latvala 1.8 behind Loeb at split 2.

[Tom206wrc]

Urmo Aava ???? :confused:

[darkstar]

also no wonder from petter yet, 1,7 slower then hirvonen on split 1.

[Daniel]

Urmo Aava ???? :confused:
Estonian guy, drives a C4

[A.F.F.]

Aava 24.3 slower than Hirvonen on this stage.

[Huufke]

Estonian guy, drives a C4


Focus ;)

[shaitan]

s2000 will be destroyed by wrc in ss2

[Tom206wrc]

s2000 will be destroyed by wrc in ss2



But Sandell will destroy the japanese GrNs :p :

[Tom206wrc]

Boland lost more the 2' :s

[muscrae]

Petter 4th quickest in SS2...

[A.F.F.]

Petter fourth at this point :up:

[shaitan]

But Sandell will destroy the japanese GrNs :p :

yep,i hate something like s.xp maybe vista cars challenge current rally car

[Daniel]

Focus ;)

Oh yeah. Sorry was thinking about last year ;)

[Tom206wrc]

Short SS3 running :)

[KKS]

Lost split times?

[Tom206wrc]

Grondal slower than Rautenbach on SS2 :s

[Hartusvuori]

Stage two of Leg 1 will start soon. Latvala fans - hold your breath, cross your fingers.

So far a great rally, and I hope it will be that after SS3 too.

[jonkka]

Mikko drops to 2nd o/a

[A.F.F.]

Loeb leading the rally.

[A.F.F.]

PG faster than Henning at stage 2. Go Skoda :hot:

[Viking]

Henning is in big problems? +22s in 8,5km stage!

[Tom206wrc]

15th overall for Sandell on SS2 ;)

[darkstar]

Henning is in big problems? +19s in 8,5km stage!

he´s realye loosing lots of time, in 2nd stage already, whats going on? wrong tires maybe?

[Tom206wrc]

Henning is in big problems? +19s in 8,5km stage!




Had he chosen the Bozian whale instead of Focus his result wouldn't have been worst :rolleyes:

[Tom206wrc]

Armindo Araujo on SS2 :confused:

[COD]

he´s realye loosing lots of time, in 2nd stage already, whats going on? wrong tires maybe?


Anything is possible in Hennings case, but they should all have the same tyres :)

[alleskids]

Were do you guys see the splits?

[wwbroe]

Im having difficulties to reach wrc.com, am i the only one? :(

[jonkka]

Im having difficulties to reach wrc.com, am i the only one? :(

Nope, that's the quality of their service.

[wwbroe]

What happened with Latvalla, isn't he supposed to have reached the finish allready?

[Sulland]

Live timing.
Splits only from WRC.com !

[teufel]

Mikko drops to 2nd o/a

and from now Loeb increases his lead to 50sec at the end of leg1. as usual...

[COD]

wrc.com sucks again and Becks giving Ireland results???

[A.F.F.]

Great WRR. Stage 2 is live and happening and what they do? Talk about Colin to lick something to get his tongue stuck....

[A.F.F.]

Latvala isn't particulary fast... maybe taking it easy star *fingers crossed*

[PLuto]

Bernardo Sousa made absolutely the worst time, but he had the longest jump :)

http://fotogalerie.autosport.cz/albums/wpw-20090213/Sousa.jpg

[wwbroe]

Latvala isn't particulary fast... maybe taking it easy star *fingers crossed*

Has he reached the finish of the second stage of today, because i don't see anything on results. :confused:

[Tom206wrc]

Something happened to Latvala or everything OK with him :confused:

[PMM]

Stage seems to be stopped?

[jonkka]

Likely results just froze... keeps happening once a rally...

[Sulland]

Is he blocking, since results stopped coming ?

Can not hear the radio at work.... so pls update.

[COD]

what now? no results coming anywhere

[A.F.F.]

Wouldn't it be cool if WRR told us all the missing info??

But I'm really happy to hear a marathon interview of Pernilla Solberg :rolleyes:

[rp]

Oh dear... Becks is just talking with Pernilla and the rally is going :-( This is WRC...

[WRC1]

great battle as expected in pwrc!!!

first for guys in 4 seconds on stage 2!!!

go Patrik!!!!

[A.F.F.]

Wtf Is Happening ?????

[Hartusvuori]

Oh dear... Becks is just talking with Pernilla and the rally is going :-( This is WRC...

That ain't live, but still - would like to know what's going on. Anyone having friends on the route?

[shaitan]

who told us what's going on.......

[A.F.F.]

That ain't live, but still - would like to know what's going on. Anyone having friends on the route?

Yep, but on stage 4. :mark:

[teufel]

Jml +9,4

[COD]

And after the marathon interview that could have been played during service brake they do what... play music of course. What else to do when a stage is going on. For f**ks sake

[A.F.F.]

I don't like this.... hopefully nothing serious has happened.

[Tom206wrc]

Solberg P behind Sordo after SS3...Quesnel gave already "team orders" ??? :p :

[A.F.F.]

Pheww....

[A.F.F.]

Henning is already ****ing up my pickems :mad:

[MJW]

Had he chosen the Bozian whale instead of Focus his result wouldn't have been worst :rolleyes:
I think his result might have been better!

[Sulland]

Sordo is impressing on snow !!

[Xsara Fan]

Solberg P behind Sordo after SS3...Quesnel gave already "team orders" ??? :p :

No. Just Sordo is FASTER :)

[WRC1]

wasn´t henning supposed to be a favorit for this rallye??

...or at least faster than younger brother petter??

[Tom206wrc]

Yes Sordo isn't as off pace on such terrain as many of you pretended in the past ;)

[Viking]

Henning is already ****ing up my pickems :mad:

Mine also, looks like Ford mechs did not like his tirade yesterday :(

[Sulland]

Sandell is also quick, lets see what the rest of the P team can do !

[jonkka]

Wouldn't it be cool if WRR told us all the missing info??
But I'm really happy to hear a marathon interview of Pernilla Solberg :rolleyes:

Somehow the WRR fans ignore these obvious gaps in coverage...

But hey, it's free service so we can't complain, can we? :(

[jonas_mcrae]

poor henning "foked" up by the Ford Rally Mafia, they saw he was going for maximum attack and they screwed his suspension.

[jonkka]

Mikko is ahead again

[COD]

Somehow the WRR fans ignore these obvious gaps in coverage...

But hey, it's free service so we can't complain, can we? :(

Free for us, but if I was the head of the sponsor (Abu Dhabi) I wouldn't be so happy that I paying for a crap like that..

[A.F.F.]

Somehow the WRR fans ignore these obvious gaps in coverage...

But hey, it's free service so we can't complain, can we? :(

I guess we can't. But like COD said, that particular interview would have been better placed in service brake and they could have provide stage times since all the sites were missing that info.

Tilannetaju is what WRR is missing.

[A.F.F.]

Go Mikko !!!

[COD]

why no Sordo on splits???

[WRC1]

flodin lost 12 seconds on final split at ss3 compared to sandell!!

[Sulland]

poor henning "foked" up by the Ford Rally Mafia, they saw he was going for maximum attack and they screwed his suspension.


Maybe the Solberg Brothers WRT is closer than we thought, if Henning feel mistreated by Stobart.
But is might be a good explanation on this as well.

I think thay gave Wilson Hennings suspension, since he is quicker than expected !!

[A.F.F.]

Sordo have not had split this morning.

And it's killing me. I'm the biggest Sordo fan in the world :mad:

[A.F.F.]

Mikko is pushing the difference :up:

[pino]

I'm the biggest Sordo fan in the world :mad:

You are ? :s :p :

[Daniel]

Sordo have not had split this morning.

And it's killing me. I'm the biggest Sordo fan in the world :mad:

:rotflmao:

Where are the splits of Loix? Where are my damn Loix splits!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! :mad: :mad: :mad:

[Tom206wrc]

How Henning is doing on SS4 ??? :confused:


Edit: OK +21s...

[Daniel]

Who cares about Henning! Where is Loix? :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

[bluuford]

[darkstar]

great done from hirvonen, a real good fight for the first place!

Sucks as allways

[Hartusvuori]

I guess we can't. But like COD said, that particular interview would have been better placed in service brake and they could have provide stage times since all the sites were missing that info.

Tilannetaju is what WRR is missing.

I believe they had no idea that stage results were jammed to big public, thought everything's fine and ran that Pernilla interview. Viewed from the keyboard that sucked, but had anything been really wrong - like Latvala off - they would've stopped that interview tape and filled us in on the news.

[Tom206wrc]

Who cares about Henning! Where is Loix? :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:



In Curitiba/Brazil at the start of next month :bounce:

Are you sure about that, sometimes i wonder where they are with their toughts. :D

[jonkka]

JML isn't making much headway but should mean interesting position for tomorrow...

[Karukera]

Who cares about Henning! Where is Loix?

Adjusting again and again his Mitsubishi Carisma seat, no wait, his Corolla WRC wipers, i mean Juha's Hyundaï Accent ashtray if not Rovanperä's 307 WRC tires pressure... :s tare:

[rp]

Is your WRR working...? My radio is buffering all the time and lost the connection...

[jonkka]

Rautenbach missing a split...

[COD]

Is your WRR working...? My radio is buffering all the time and lost the connection...

same here

[darkstar]

JML isn't making much headway but should mean interesting position for tomorrow...

i think he´s doing a good job so far, he should start to collect some points, and don´t do stuff like at rallye ireland.

[PLuto]

Radio has lot of problems today...

[swordsman]

WRR sucks today.

[WRC1]

arai out??

[Huufke]

Same here.

[bluuford]

Rautenbach missing a split...

Are you sure that only split is missing .-P?
And like we expected.. Aava has passed Boland

[Tom206wrc]

Petter slower than Henning on that SS4 :mark:

[Sulland]

Qoute from Henning after SS4:
"On previous stage we had problems, we had snow in our radiator. But we arent satisfied with our setup"

[jonas_mcrae]

WRR sucks today.

just TODAY???!!

[Huufke]

Are you sure that only split is missing .-P?
And like we expected.. Aava has passed Boland


There's a three minute gap between them instead of the usual two.

[Mauri A]

This sounds fair to me, two Finns on top in Finnwoods!

[Karukera]

Qoute from Henning after SS4:
"On previous stage we had problems, we had snow in our radiator. But we arent satisfied with our setup"

Sounds like lotta misunderstandings. Prelude to a schism ?

[WRC1]

Are you sure that only split is missing .-P?
And like we expected.. Aava has passed Boland



rautenbach finished +48 to mikko

according to WRR aava got 3 min gap to boland!?

[A.F.F.]

Latvala has to get in the zone in order to catch Loeb. Otherwise he'll be dropping slowly from the fight of the lead...

[Tom206wrc]

I must admit I expected Novikov to be a bit faster...even for his first outing in the C4 :(

[MHjerpe]

Any local radio-stations broadcasting on the web ? (from rally norway) :)

[Daniel]

In Curitiba/Brazil at the start of next month :bounce:

But where is he in Rally Norway?


Too much Minttu? :-P

No :) Just too much listening to certain forum members ;) Plus I'm waiting for a phone call about a job and I suspect they wouldn't be impressed if I answered the phone drunk :D

[cali]

Matt Wilson is doing fine stagetimes actually. he has been really positive surprise in this rally so far.

[swordsman]

You Norweigans... Since WRR are working so bad, do you know a local radio station broadcasting on the Internet? (hopefully working even in Sweden)

[A.F.F.]

From Henning to Wilson it's very tight :eek:

[PLuto]

On WRR they are too optimistic. Five drivers which have real chance to win Rally Norway....

[bluuford]

I must admit I expected Novikov to be a bit faster...even for his first outing in the C4 :(

So far we have seen that all drivers have had a huge problems to put that C4 moving fast. It takes time to get a grips with it. Remember Atkinson first day in Ireland or Aava last year in Sweden?

That is good that they have 3 minutes gap :-)

[Tom206wrc]

Matt Wilson is doing fine stagetimes actually. he has been really positive surprise in this rally so far.



Wilslow becomes Wilsnow ???? :)

If only there would have been a Finn with a Skoda in this rally.....

S2000 in Pwrc ???? :rolleyes:

[PLuto]

Toshi Arai retired in SS 3 due to engine failure. Same problem as on shakedown...

[Tom206wrc]

Sandell largely faster than everybody else on SS4 :eek:


Why the hell majority of drivers in Pwrc keeps on sticking with traditionnal GrNs ??? Result: no 207 at all this year :mad:

[Xsara Fan]

I must admit I expected Novikov to be a bit faster...even for his first outing in the C4 :(

There is a problem with his C4. During the pre-Norway tests Citroen`s test-car has completely another engine programme. In shakedown Evgeniy and Dale have found that their new black&yellow car doesn`t work as good as they want. It`s a strange situation but they have no solution for the moment...

Mikkelsen faster than Sandell ;)

[Almeidafoto]

Yep. What's the problem with that?

S2000 are specially built cars for rallying, far from the regulations Gr. N or Production cars earlier predicted on Appendix J.

[J.Lindstroem]

Mikkelsen faster than Sandell on SS4 so there is a fight going on there!

[PLuto]

Colin definitely freezed...

[Almeidafoto]

It's been a great fight for thr lead: First it was Petter winning SS1 with an eight-year-old car, then on SS2 Hirvonen takes the lead; on SS3 Loeb moves up to front; SS4 Hirvonen gets back first place...
Let's see what happens on SS5

[A.F.F.]

Sorry, why the rolleyes?

But my answer is that he would have been in top six overall :bounce: ;)

Hirvonen faster than Loeb on stage 4. We might see a fight here, hope it will stay for the end. What will Latvala do now?

Latvala however isn't... :(

Nice fight in PWRC and WRC.

[Xsara Fan]

]Didn't they have Ogier's car on tests? It had 07 bumper and wheelguards...

All CJT drivers use C4 WRC in 'Monte 2008' specification (new engine etc.). But test-car is in 2007 specification...

[Mirek]

How is '07 bumper different?

Watch photos of Ogier's car from the front and then the rest of C4s ;)

I don't know how to describe in English. 07 has much larger horizontal lines for example. The wheelguards are higher in 08.

[Mirek]

All CJT drivers use C4 WRC in 'Monte 2008' specification (new engine etc.). But test-car is in 2007 specification...

Aha, thanks. But I thought 07 had different engine - from Xsara.

I can see only the visible differences and Ogier's car has 07 body parts ;)

[Tom206wrc]

Östberg behind Rautenbach after SS5 :mark:

[bluuford]

It seems that conditions are getting worse and worse after every car. It is not normal that Latvala is nearly 1 s slower than Mikko. So, we can expect smaller gap during the next passage

[AlfaWRC]

Mikko is able to put a fight against Loeb.

Latvala however isn't... :(

That will be a long and interesting rally weekend...

[PLuto]

östberg stopped in stage, now running again...

GRØNDAL A. / ANDERSSON M. (st. č. 20) After one crest we went out of the road and finished in the ditch. Car is damaged, we have problems with gearbox.

[Tom206wrc]

Is Gröndal blocking the road ??? :confused:

[darkstar]

That's not really better than with the Suzuki SX4 in the last rallies of 2008 season... :mark:

hmm, i think its way better! he´s only 13 seconds away from place 6! with sx4 he maybe would have been on place 10 too, but with 2 minutes off the pace :D

[Viking]

Just results frosen, Flodin and Brynhildsen off.

Mikkelsen beats Sandell again! it seems to be a good fight :)

What was the problem ? :(

[jonkka]

]Watch photos of Ogier's car from the front and then the rest of C4s ;)

After Ireland when this topic was discussed, I tried to find the differences but couldn't. I'll look again but if I find nothing, I'll come back to you.

[swordsman]

Was Gröndal blocking the road for Flodin and Brynhildsen or have they both been off road? Also, what happened to Östberg?

[PLuto]

What was the problem ? :(

ØSTBERG M. / UNNERUND O.-K. (st. č. 18) "Minuli jsme jednu odbočku a museli jsme couvat, navíc máme problémy s převodovkou" / "We just overtook the junction and must reverse, we have also problems with gearbox"

[Viking]

What was the problem ? :(

He overshot a junction and could not find reverse. Also windscreen is misting up on the stages.

[PLuto]

Was Gröndal blocking the road for Flodin and Brynhildsen or have they both been off road? Also, what happened to Östberg?

PROKOP M. / TOMÁNEK J. (st. č. 31) "Na pi*u. Jeli jsme za jedním Subaru, které bylo mimo trať a ztratili jsme hodně času" / "I was following one Subaru, which was out of road and lost of lot of time"

So it means, that Grondal left the place in front of Prokop, so he wasnt blocking Flodin and Brynildsen.

[Viking]

Was Gröndal blocking the road for Flodin and Brynhildsen or have they both been off road? Also, what happened to Östberg?

Dont think Grøndal was blocking anyone but he lost almost 10min.
Flodin went off and when Brynhildsen came there was lot of people in the road so he had to steer off as well at the same place.

[Tom206wrc]

Not bad neither Armindo Araujo, currently 3rd of Pwrc after SS5 ;)

[Daniel]

Or not having a job ;)

That will hopefully change today :D

Not sure why they're saying that...... IIRC you can't change the engine block and still superally.

He claimed to have lots of changes in the car and it feels better.

More or less accusing your mechanics for sabotage and “føkkin” with you is a bit like complaining on the food on a restaurant, you never know what they bring to you next time!

Way to go Latvala :hot:

[Xsara Fan]

We spoke with Novikov`s team and have some news. He made a mistake with suspension settings. Evgeniy chose the hardest shock absorbers. But it was a terrible mistake - the car is sliding all the time... No chance for attack today. Mechanics try to made smth at the service (change the settings without changing shock absorbers) but they think it`s not help...

LATVALA J.-M. / ANTTILA M. (st. č. 4) "V servisu jsem si dal polívku a kafe a je to lepší. Konečně dobrý čas" / "I take a soup and coffee in the service and it is better. Finally I have made a good time"

[WRC1]

i think he is alone with his opinion

[Mirek]

Henning continues but on manual gear selection.

[swordsman]

Henning lost paddle gear but has moved to common manual gearshift and still in the game!

[Mirek]

he dont like the looks of the fabia s2000...

i think he is alone with his opinion

No, he's not. I also don't like it very much. I call it "box" :D

[darkstar]

:p :

realye? this morning he said something like: oh there´s this beautyful skoda...

and it didnt sound ironic :)

[WRC1]

]No, he's not. I also don't like it very much. I call it "box" :D

ok, no problem with that, but you should call it "fast box"

[J.Lindstroem]

]No, he's not. I also don't like it very much. I call it "box" :D

Patrik Sandell also called it "box" ysterday after the Super Special. Nothing sayd about what he thinks about the looks of the fabia but anyway!

[HaCo]

Waiting for the time of Mikkelsen, will he get closer to Sandell? :)


Woooow, 6.2 faster!!!! Sandell only has of 2secs now!

[J.Lindstroem]

realye? this morning he said something like: oh there´s this beautyful skoda...

Sounds like he's on crack everytime he speaks so with that kind of excitement it maybe is a little bit hard for him to know what he really thinks about the car...

[Viking]

]No, he's not. I also don't like it very much. I call it "box" :D

Then we are at least 3, butt ugly :D

And Mikkelsen is faster than it again :up:

[A.F.F.]

I dare Becks to say Finnskogen repeatedly. She certainly likes the taste of that word.

[darkstar]

Sounds like he's on crack everytime he speaks so with that kind of excitement it maybe is a little bit hard for him to know what he really thinks about the car...

hehehe :D :D :D

anyways, i like the skoda, only thing that looks a little strange is that chrome thing on the front.
