Rally de Portugal 2011

[bennizw]

Conditions can´t be good.

[mm1]

I think they are preserving tires for power stage.

[wwbroe]

Petter will be in front of Villagra after this stage.

[wwbroe]

Henning loosing more then a minute compared to Petter allready at splits.

[wwbroe]

Petter passed his brother in overall standings as well, only half a minute behind Kimi, so sixth place in reach.

[Sulland]

Yes so even if he wanted to let Petter through (doubt it really) but now I am hearing turbo issues for Henning.

[mm1]

daddy has made some team orders :)

Wilson Silves2=13,04
35 sec later in second passage
Mikko gained a position up.
some said about Citroens tactics...

[Salist]

Paddon on the stage.

[bennizw]

Considering that Petter took 27,6 seconds out of Raikkonen on the 22 kilometre SS16, he should in theory be able to pass Kimi over the 31 kilometre SS17.

[HarriK]

SOLBERG H. / MINOR I. (st. č. 5) Turbo problems.

Yes Tom, it seems like he stopped, so probably no Mini at the end of the rally.

[Salist]

Go mikko go!!!

[jonkka]

Where is that predicted rain?

[GigiGalliNo1]

I'm watching the stage live and listening to WRR....

It's too hard but have to say WRR is more exciting! :D

[dimviii]

Mikko faster from Petter till now

[Co-driven]

Where is that predicted rain?

I think it's already raining...Petter had his wipers on, and we could see some rain drops on the heli cam.

[N.O.T]

nice drive by solberg.

[jonkka]

I think it's already raining...Petter had his wipers on, and we could see some rain drops on the heli cam.

Yeah, I noticed the same. Yet, it's dusty so rain is very light.

[GigiGalliNo1]

Why has WRC.com reported "Petter Solberg has won the penultimate stage of Vodafone Rally de Portugal as heavy rain made driving conditions treacherous." if he just finished the last stage... this quote was from SS16 article online...

[wwbroe]

Latvalla even faster on splits

[dimviii]

Jari faster than Mikko

[N.O.T]

Great drive by Ogier.... pity hirvonen ruined the rally for loeb..... but ok its normal quitter/loser behavior

[HarriK]

Why the hell Matty Wilson is driving with his arms straight? ... very poor position to drive.

Congrats to Ketomäki!! 2.nd place in PWRC

[wwbroe]

Great victory for Ogier, very good pace for Petter also, pitty about punctures. Very good also for Loeb who takes the lead in championship i suppose?

[dimviii]

Serra1 Solberg 22,52
Serra2 Loeb 22,35!

Congrats to Ogier and Loeb for a good rally.Congrats to Jari also,seems that his bad days are forgotten.For Mikko i d like to be more brave at power stage and try to measure his speed with the fastest trio.
to much mechanical failures for Ford.That power steering had issues from s2000 fiesta aren t they able to fix it?
roll on Jordan?

[cali]

Power Stage live - what a great driving by top guys. Love it!

[uranium]

Nobody asked Citroen to play games. So, stop whining please.

[N.O.T]

roll on Jordan?

hmmmm..not sure...maybe.

[wwbroe]

Are Loeb and Hirvonen on equal points after this rally?

[BleAivano]

Great victory for Ogier, very good pace for Petter also, pitty about punctures. Very good also for Loeb who takes the lead in championship i suppose?

Loeb had before RP 37 points and have earned 18+3 points in RP which makes 58. Hirvonen had 46 p before RP and has gained 12 which makes 58 too.
So who will go first in the next rally then? Loeb or Hirvonen?

[dimviii]

WILSON M. / MARTIN S. (st. č. 15) "We really enjoyd this." lolololol

[HarriK]

Should every stages to give points so no tactics then :)

[N.O.T]

i think Loeb will since he has more podiums (they are equal on wins)...

[wwbroe]

Loeb had before RP 37 points and have earned 18+3 points in RP which makes 58. Hirvonen had 46 p before RP and has gained 12 which makes 58 too.
So who will go first in the next rally then? Loeb or Hirvonen?

Good qestion, but i am sure FIA will come up with some explanation for that. :D

[dimviii]

Are Loeb and Hirvonen on equal points after this rally?

yes 58 according to Portuguese live card

[N.O.T]

Should every stages to give points so no tactics then :)

not fair when sweeping...

[cali]

Should every stages to give points so no tactics then :)
Not a bad idea at all!

[HarriK]

not fair when sweeping...
that could be done by letting the leader to choose his position and after 1 service again to choose his place...

[BleAivano]

not fair when sweeping...

solved with reversed starting order.

[Doon]

solved with reversed starting order.

Yep spot on, worked when the top 15 were reversed. Why the hell did the every get rid of that? To spice things up? Well it should be done again in my eyes.

Anyway, that Power Stage was awesome. Ogier is brilliant, he might beat Loebs records one day. Glad the Fords showed pace, and was also encouraging to see the Armindo has pace in 'SP' Mini. Can't wait for Sardina, I think Meekean will be on the pace or not too far behind. Things are looking up for the WRC!.....finally.

[Tom206wrc]

Congrats to Ogier, Loeb, Solberg and Räikkö...four DS3s in points :bounce:

[rp]

Good qestion, but i am sure FIA will come up with some explanation for that. :D

I think Hirvonen will be 1st on the road, because he has positions 1,2 & 4. Loeb has 1,2 & 6. So fourth place is better than sixth...

[rp]

Power Stage was great and showed once again what is the difference between the works drivers and others plus some tourists. Huge time differences has to say...

Citroen´s speed seems to be better than Ford, but there is no big difference. Hopefully M-Sport can solve Fiesta´s some technical problems and find extra speed. Latvala showed on the Power Stage that he is ready to fight...

[Ucci]

Congrats to Ogier !! What a drive!! He stood like a Phoenix from the ashes-he showed his greatness after the ''humiliation'' in the Mexico.
Loeb is still hungry for the first places, he will never give up....
And Ford??? Well, doing what are they used to do from the previus years. Eventually they might win another rally this year, but the couple (trio) Seb 1&2 (Peter) are the main players. And the DS3 seems to be more robust!

no surprise really, it was the same with the C4 and the Xsara, especially with loeb behind the wheel.

[Carlo]

Congratulations to Hayden Paddon & John Kennard for an excellent result. New car, new team and 1st PWRC.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

What a shame those punctures for the Ford's ruined a really close rally :(

It seems that the Ford's are now on a par with the Citroen's for performance and we can look forward to some great battles ahead.

Even the Citroen fans must want to see this rather than what we've had the last 3 years...

There is a small mistake. Latvala had the same best time in SS5 with Ogier as well. So, he had three SS wins in Portugal

[Co-driven]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcIFP8K1LMk&feature=feedu

I was watching Day 2 highlights and could notice something: look around minute 9:05. You can see that Ogier's seatbelt if "off" the Hans on the shoulders. That's something that can be really dangerous, in case of an accident the Hans wouldn't work properly and could even make things worse.

If you watch later on, around minute 12:17, I think that something similar is happening with Loeb's seatbelt.

Sorry thats all i have seen

[Iskald]

Impressed by Petter Solbergs recovery through day 2 and 3. After SS7 he was 11.15,6 behind the leader. At the finish after SS17 he ended up 10.17,4 behind. So he was the fastest by nearly a minute during those two days, and without his punctures he would have fought for victory.

[miksu]

Yes, petter has been driving very well this year, but he has to do something to his driving style. It must be difficult to change like that after so many years, but i think he just cuts corners too much and he has always done it. These tyres cannot take it, and i think he is breaking them more than others. I hope he sees that, because he could be fighting for wins more than now.

[Sladden]

Whats up with the power stages.... Im sure the fastest guys won..but the time difference to MIkko and Petter...it must be some cleaning also? The same thing in Mexico were Mikko did noting special on the rally but won the power stage. Reverse starting order maybe?

I think i was raining a little over Petters run and then dried out

[jonas_mcrae]

Anyone has pictures of mexican driver Benito Guerra with No. 39 in a red/black Evo 10? he was up to 2nd in PWRC on saturday but lost time with a broken turbo on sunday and dropped to 4th, but still quite a good result.

thanks in advance.

[ngd]

Mikko will be first on the road..
In case of equal points then we go in wins, where Loeb and Hirvonen are equal..
In that case we go to best places, where Seb and Mikko have two second places and then Mikko was fourth in Portugal while Seb was 6th in Sweden.. So Mikko is leading the standings..

Congratulations to Ogier on another fantastic drive,it is also great to see Loeb rattled.I think Latvala is also looking dangerous for the drivers title this year and fancy him for the win in Jordan to back this up.The stages in Portugal are very challenging and i hope the rally gets a long term contract to be in the WRC.

Any way here is my video of the rally:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmHo_mrmYI8
