Deutschland Rally WRC 2010

[René]

In the overall on the 6 first cars 5 C4 and still one day less.

Few days ago

“Look where we were in the rally before Finland and we’ve taken a big step,” said Malcom Wilson. “After Bulgaria, we collected a lot of data to see where we were losing the time and how we were losing it. We’ve pulled all of that performance data together and we’ve found a direction.”

What direction????

[Barreis]

Super rally and still in top 10..

[Karukera]

What direction????

The high attrition rate greatly helps Citroën.

Performance wise, Latvala is doing very well. My guess is the "direction" is better.

[Honza H.]

...and don´t forget - Seb I, Seb II and Dani are originally tarmac specialists, unlike the Finnish guys in Ford.

[Xsara Fan]

...and don´t forget - Seb I, Seb II and Dani are originally tarmac specialists, unlike the Finnish guys in Ford.

Seb 2.0 is not a 'tarmac specialist'. Absolutely not!

[BVB Rallying]

Just a question... is it possible to get a ticket for just one SS?
I'm thinking about visitting the 18th SS tomorrow...

[xavier]

well never before the difference between the 2 cars was that big....and lets be honest Sordo or any other driver NEVER managed to be ahead of Loeb and in a winning position for citroen to slow them down and let Loeb take the win...they usually imposed orders to stop fighting when things where close...

I might be wrong but i cannot recal any time Sordo being slowed down to let Loeb pass him...can you?

Spain last year

[Mixa]

I think Duval wasn´t driving so badly. Even a few years back at Ford he was doing similar times with Mikko and this year he done similar times at 08 Focus than factory cars when his car was working. Maybe people were just expecting too much. What comes to gone off,its true that Dudu keeps to crash quite often with the WRC car even when the last years he has pretty much just been driving for fun. He destroyed his image at 05 in Citroen after driving a few decent years at Ford.

I wonder if JML will go off. His been superb in Germany but the shakedown gone off and the one what happened today, could have ended way worser.

Good rally so far in my mind. Citroen´s been very strong but everyone kinda knew that. What comes to S-WRC and J-WRC some nice action on those.

[N.O.T]

Spain last year

Loeb was ahead and a no fight order was imposed they didn't slow down Sordo an let Loeb pass him...

[Woodeye]

Duval was not doing anything else but driving an average rally. I remember that here in the forum before the rally Germany there were quite a few people sure that he can beat other Fords and challenge Seb's. Well, that didn't happen. Instead he was able to what he has always done. Chrashed. Honourable indeed. :)

[Mirek]

I remember that here in the forum before the rally Germany there were quite a few people sure that he can beat other Fords...

What he actually did. In an old-spec car he defeated Mikko on every stage today when he had no technical problems unlike yesterday.

I don't like him but this is objective fact no matter what someone said or wrote anywhere. It's same objective fact like that he crashes way too much :s mokin:

------------
By the way overheated engine for Henning on panzerplatte.

[xavier]

Loeb was ahead and a no fight order was imposed they didn't slow down Sordo an let Loeb pass him...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_Rally_Catalunya

Sordo was in the lead after day 1 and was explicitly asked to let Loeb win.

Seb did appologize to Dani and said Dani would have win without the team order.

Seb needed the extra points to get within one point of Mikko before GB.

I expect Seb to return the favor this year to Dani

[N.O.T]

didn't know that, thought the decision was taken after day 2...yes it would be nice to see a clear battle this year which i think we will have.

[User]

Oh no Duval ..

[Tomi]

I think Duval did about what was expected, a few reasonable time with mega risk, someone posted yesterday that he aims back to wrc, propably he dont have many chanses to show the teams what he goes for, high pressure for and no driving experience for a long time is not a very good combination.
Rally is not a very easy sport, long time without driving shows right away.

[Woodeye]

]What he actually did. In an old-spec car he defeated Mikko on every stage today when he had no technical problems unlike yesterday.

I think it says more about the 2010 Focus compared to last years car than Duval's skills.

[Mirek]

You can think whatever You want, the same as I do ;)

Anyway it was paid drive so nothing to bother about.

[JAM]

yes it would be nice to see a clear battle this year which ...

It seems that after some work you finally agree :D

And i don't think we will have that battle.

[Barreis]

No super rally for Duval..
http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/86048

[Mirek]

I got an sms from Germany that Duval suffered broken collarbone.

Seb needed the extra points to get within one point of Mikko before GB.

I expect Seb to return the favor this year to Dani I was critical of Seb for that win, we'll see about that. I don't think it worth it for Dani to win a single race for Citroen anymore, time to look for drives elsewhere.

[HaCo]

Just saw some MotorsTV footage. The extra gravel in the stages is just awesome! The jump (pictured a few posts back) is awesome as well!

Saw inboard of Wilson with Dudu on the roof, it was a fast left with the car slightly lifted and then to the right. The car must have broken out on the left and lost control... (just a guess)

[Barreis]

Duval's car..
http://tweetphoto.com/40508086

[Mirek]

Apparently the car caught fire and burned, both crew members were taken to hospital with burn-injuries. :(

I haven't known it was so serious. Now I read on Belgian forum that Martine is kept in artificial coma because of smoke inhalation. Both her and Jasper suffered also burns in face and hands. I hope they get better soon!

[wwbroe]

Twenty minutes to go untill start of last day of Deutschland action, especially the battle in SWRC looks very promising. :)
Good morning to you guys out there.

[wwbroe]

Seems like both Sebs are well woken up, doing best splits in first stage of the day.

[wwbroe]

Besttime for Solberg, another three Citroens behind him. :eek:

[HaCo]

Oooh, Andersson has stopped in the stage. :(

Only Prokop and Sandell fighting for victory now, 3.4 between them!

[wwbroe]

Problems for Andersson, reported stopped on stage, loosing a lot of time. Sandell now in the lead in SWRC, few seconds in front of Prokop.

Edit: Haco was faster

[wwbroe]

Broken gearbox for Hirvonen, what can i do?

[HaCo]

Broken gearbox for Hirvonen, what can i do?

Lol, again?

These Fords are in the same negative spiral as Subaru was some years ago!

[HaCo]

They could give teamorders to Prokop, haha :)

[PetrWRC]

Broken gearbox for Hirvonen, what can i do?
Problem with transmission was also during test before Deutschland ... in first leg had problem with driveshaft Duval, yesterday problem with transmission for Mikko, today gearbox ... something is wrong and I think, that blue oval have a little bit problem before asphalt events in France and Spain ...

[User]

Oh TERRIBLE :eek: :eek:

I hope they will recover from these injuries :(

[Tom206wrc]

I was critical of Seb for that win, we'll see about that. I don't think it worth it for Dani to win a single race for Citroen anymore, time to look for drives elsewhere.



Other cars are weaker than Citroëns, as you can see(they uses privateer teams to run the cars instead of bringing own budget/technics and doing it seriously) you think he'd have a better chance ??? :rolleyes:

[GigiGalliNo1]

Oh TERRIBLE :eek: :eek:

I hope they will recover from these injuries :(

Me too! That's horrible to hear! :(

[6789]

Duval probably put it on its roof so he could go home a day earlier lol

Good speed from Petter, France is looking promising, but big chance in Japan with Loeb maybe not pushing with the championship pretty much in the bag

[GigiGalliNo1]

Loeb near end of stage..... Solberg slower...

[pettersolberg29]

Solberg on hard tyres - must be a wrong decision.

[GigiGalliNo1]

hrm....

[GigiGalliNo1]

well maybe those tires are good :) ;)

[pettersolberg29]

Indeed - maybe I spoke too soon!

[GigiGalliNo1]

See it's you and I in the forum today! haha

[pettersolberg29]

Yep - odd as its not even early in Britain - its 10:10am. Maybe people are having a Sunday lie-in as the top 5 are pretty predicatble now.

[BVB Rallying]

See it's you and I in the forum today! haha
I'm here too to watch Hans Weijs jr. 2nd win of his carreer :) He is doing easy just to finish. Almost 4 minutes in front, very nice!

[Allyc85]

Yea whats with the early start lol.

Shame about Mikko and block, mikkos season cant get much worse can it?

[GigiGalliNo1]

:)

[HaCo]

Prokop vs Sandell = 3.2secs!

[BVB Rallying]

Prokop vs Sandell = 3.2secs!
That's very very exiting!

Colin "The Voice of Rally" Clark is proposing that Citroen will try and stack the Junior team to beat the Ford team in manufacturers

It won't happen, but I hope it does just to give Malcolm a kick up the backside.

Crazy jump indeed, very spectacular. :D Nice fight with the Skoda's of Anderssson and Sandell, pitty for bad luck of PG.

[Honza H.]

Wow! The top SWRC drivers seem to be really pushing , always on a very very thin edge!

[Barreis]

Hmmm, wrong pace note for that corner?

Unfortunatly..

What did he say?

[Rallyper]

Sandell is really pushing and make me very impressed of his performance (tarmac!!) :)

[Fly]

Sandell is really pushing and make me very impressed of his performance (tarmac!!) :)

Agree!! I was on the stages on Friday and Saturday and Sandell impressed me a lot. Brynildsen was also a good surprise.

[GigiGalliNo1]

What did he say?

I don't know. I can't remember. Damn, knew I should have written it down!

[6789]

It won't happen, but I hope it does just to give Malcolm a kick up the backside.

Would be awesome to see, although I do like Ford, give them alot of motivation for next year!!

Colin is an awesome guy but, always has a chat when I see him at a rally

[GigiGalliNo1]

How long till stage start?

Worth waiting to hear the final stage... or go get dinner? Hah

[GigiGalliNo1]

Interesting... Stage over.... no one online eh...

[N.O.T]

1-2-3 for the citroens which could easily be 1-2-3-4...maybe in france and spain...

Hirvonen out for good, every thing is decided for the titles now...

doggys remained doggys and champions champions for yet another year.

[dimviii]

wilslow faster till now on last stage.
5 years plan start to give results :p :

[N.O.T]

Raikonen beats the 5 year plan....time to walk to dog.

[6789]

Wilson with scratch time :D

Petter reporter a problem at stage end? My radio feed is playing up!

[Barreis]

The best won..

[dimviii]

Sandell finally infront of Prokop.

[Juha_Koo]

Shame about the spin Latvala had yesterday. Nearly as good tarmac performance as back in Ireland 2007. Constantly being faster than Mikko too.

[N.O.T]

i think its time the ford team changes the status of its drivers....

Another finnish record broken into little pieces by Loeb...8 wins in a rally...

[RS]

Sandell is really pushing and make me very impressed of his performance (tarmac!!) :)

Very surprising win for Patrik here. I never thought he was that quick before but his pace was also reasonable in Finland. On the other hand I think those S2000 cars can go a lot faster on tarmac in other hands. Surprisingly poor peformance by Pons here? Maybe the Skoda is a better tarmac car than the Fiesta at the moment.

[vkangas]

Obviously almost everybody was cruising last SS, but still nice to see that Kimi was able to push the fastest time.

Has Wilson ever managed to get fastest stage time?

[BVB Rallying]

Hans Weijs jr. wins the J-WRC class, very good :burnout:

[rp]

Obviously almost everybody was cruising last SS, but still nice to see that Kimi was able to push the fastest time.

Has Wilson ever managed to get fastest stage time?

Yes, he has three stage wins...

[FAlonso]

Congrats to Loeb and Citroen for another amazing 1-2-3. Ford must really hit the ground running with the Fiesta for next year and forget about 2010. A mention also for Jari-Matti who did what he could and fought with Ogier until the end.

The battle in SWRC was, for me, the highlight of this rally with great drives especially from Sandell who had a bit of a surprising pace, in my view, and deserved the win although beating P-G without the latter's problem was something still to be seen. And Prokop was on it until the end also. Awesome.

In PWRC, Armindo's victory was predictable but a bit harder than it might have been due to a couple of uncharacteristic (even if small) mistakes and also due to Paddons reply which was great and, for me at least, the revelation of the rally. Great pace all the way through.

[GigiGalliNo1]

Yes, he has three stage wins...

what record did he add then? who held it?. 8 wins in a row is pretty special!

[Josti]

Marcus Grönholm won Finland 7 times (though not in a row). 8 wins in one WRC event is thus a new record for Loeb.

[Barreis]

For Mr The Best..

Not sure if it's mentioned before, but on wrc.com there's a clip of Carlos Sainz driving a Volkswagen Scirocco as a safety car on this rally. Could this be a small hint?

Maybe a hint about Carlos :) . Carlos also said after Finland that if Kankku had told him that he's drivig, Carlos would have been there challenging him. Spain?

Maybe a hint of future intentions or simply a good PR move. Would imagine the car is similar to the Scirocco Cup cars in Germany with an added rear wing.

[noel157]

ohhh....

Generally the last stage of the rally is his favourite to win, or when nobody is looking or gone home.

[N.O.T]

Latvala was very lucky completing the event...his spin was anything but a spin, looked more than an off....very lucky he didn;t hit anything.

The extra gravel parts they added this year just look awesome! For me this is how mixed events can look like. Looks much less than circuit racing (like Spain for example)!

Great video indeed!

Henk Vossen, how many times did he drive Germany and how old is the guy? It is the Mitsu Gr A/WRC in green.

There were many other WRC drivers down the field, not only Eric Wevers. Most of them are driving just for fun and their times aren't important.

Elena just said mostly the same thing as Hirvonnen about the stage, and he said aswell that Loeb didn't like the stage and that the champion itself thinks that the spectators dont like it too.

They are recovering well. Co-driver Kolman needs surgery on her hands, but other than that she's alright, likewise for v/d Heuvel.

Good to hear, at first the burns on here hands and face looked worse....

Nice....so Finland isn't dangerous with it's high speeds and trees lining the road. All that says to me is Mikko doesn't have the nerve to be a top driver. The fact Wilslow agrees with him backs that theory :D

[WRXedUSA]

will update the google earth file tomorrow and mark it up for ya.

cheers

These overlays were a lifesaver. Our GPS conked out, but I brought my laptop as backup and ran GoogleEarth. It really helped with dealing with a missed junction down by Baumholder due to road construction.

Thank you, thank you very much.

[rallye-vid]

will do the same next year + add some photos to interesting places.

cheers

I know the guy. He works with MWRT doing thier PR/website stuff. Its a small at-rally operation. He is also a rallyist in the US. Everyone at MWRT seemed pleased with the outpouring of support from the fans.

[bowler]

Block knows how to work the fans, and is always available for publicity or PR.

Guys from the US are generally good at this sort of stuff, and work hard at it

That's right and marketing is the sole purpose of this spectacle. That's why the likes of Block and Kimi are a positive additions to the sport. They attach more audience by just being there than most of the other guys driving in the front.

[sollitt]

No they don't.

[N.O.T]

kimi block rossi and other tomato cans attract attention but short-term one...

after all they made a name for themselves by being very good at something else. If they were useless tomato cans in their sports as they are in rallying none would care about them....so by staying in a sport they are really really bad the attention fades from their loyal doggys.

People admire success not just being a useless clown...so when all these do something they are not good at the success element goes away and the clown one remains. People are not very fond of clowns when there is nothing around them.

So you are honestly telling me that Loeb has more followers than Block? And what has Block achieved apart from driving sideways? It is just a clever marketing strategy and the sole purpose of him driving is to sell more DC shoes.

[N.O.T]

comprehension is not your strong point.....

[johunn]

comprehension is not your strong point.....

Well you quite obviously have not understood what I said as well. My point was that the whole sport is built on marketing. No manufacturer would provide their vehicles if that didn't serve a greater point. Yes, over time great champions will emerge that are remembered for their achievements. But most of the actions are done based on possible near-future gains. Thus we have only 2 different manufacturers as the other car companies do not see the marketing value in competing there. If it was just about the fame for the driver then I suppose there would be a lot of manufacturers that could produce a winning car if enough money was laid on the table. Overall it is a marketing strategy for car companies and other sponsors that needs a face and generally achievements. But the recent trend shows that the achievements are less valued than the image that the driver has been able to make himself. Im pretty sure that Red Bull don't think of Kimi being around for next 10 years as the best driver. They want to sell their product now to the people that follow Kimi (it's a big number). In two years they will have someone else who is more profitable that they will sponsor.

[rallye-vid]

you don't even know how many ppl here in germany started to watch rally cos of Kimi.

so yes, they are a positive additions to the sport.

Rallye-vid, many thanks for the great Google Earth app. We had a blast in Germany and you made our lives so much easyer.

Any chance you'll do the same for the Alsace rally in France? ;)
