2011 WRC Rally Mexico

[N.O.T]

some nice driving by ogier....poor ford kids..

[tolis]

Hello Dimitris!!! I am using Mozilla, so I don't have a problem. I used Internet Explorer and I had never this kind of problem. After 3rd split, Loeb 1 second faster than Ogier.

[dimviii]

Thanks Ricardo & NOT&Tolis

[N.O.T]

great battle i guess whoever finishes 1st on this day will also be the winner....i do not think quesnel wants this to go on for ever...

[N.O.T]

Loeb starts to capitalise a bit...

[N.O.T]

crazy results once more.....last years time was 18:18....this year 18.25... the stage was exactly the same.

[dimviii]

Ibarrilla 1 at 2010 time=18.18,3 Loeb
Ibarrilla 1 at 2011 time=18.25,8 Loeb

[dimviii]

Impessive! Ogier not loosing time while cleaning road.

[Mirek]

Such small differences can be caused aside cars by anything else like tyres, air temperature, humidity or actual state of the road...

[N.O.T]

hirvonen in his usual quitter style......latvala tries.

[N.O.T]

Such small differences can be caused aside cars by anything else like tyres, air temperature, humidity or actual state of the road...

yes...my guess is only tarmac will tell the story.

[dimviii]

Such small differences can be caused aside cars by anything else like tyres, air temperature, humidity or actual state of the road...

Yes we can say equal speed for new wrc cars.How you see Ford speed Mirek?

[BleAivano]

What happened to JML? He lost allot of time from the last split to the finish of the stage.

[Francis44]

Latvala Puncture, everytime he tries something happens :( .

[dimviii]

FR tyre puncture "It was going well, but I don't know, I felt something wrong with the tyre. Same situation like yesterday

To much flat tyres for new Michelin tyres.Pirelli was bulletproof.

[Tom206wrc]

Solberg Petter a bit faster than Hirvonen on the first three splits...wonder how many times he will gain(or lose)at the end of the 29km ;)

[darkstar]

ogier is just crazy, what a talent!

[dimviii]

Kuippers stopped

[Rallyper]

yes...my guess is only tarmac will tell the story.

Why would it?

Same small deviation thing at tarmac surface as well as on gravel.

[Tom206wrc]

No Kuipers Jr at the end of SS11 :confused:

[Ondra WRC]

Kuipers rolled. Crew is OK.

[Tom206wrc]

2nd best time for Solberg P :cool:

[N.O.T]

Why would it?

Same small deviation thing at tarmac surface as well as on gravel.

not worthy of a reply...try again

[N.O.T]

wilson retired on road section...thank god for that.

[Tom206wrc]

What about Wilslow ??? :confused:

Edit: NOT answered my question ;)

[BVB Rallying]

Split times not working here with Firefox :mad:

[darkstar]

tänak stopped in stage...

[dimviii]

Tanak stopped damn...

[N.O.T]

the whole results page at wrc.com stopped working

[Mirek]

They don't work at all. I tried everything I have (Opera, Firefox, IE)...

[Rallyper]

not worthy of a reply...try again

Try what? My quote was highly adequat comparing to yours.

[dimviii]

wrc is really laughable....can t imagine in another sport at world champioship level to stop working while in process.In wrc happens in every round.Really fooking amauters.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Citroen's 1-2-3 on ss11 even though road-sweeping ... very worrying for Ford.

[dimviii]

http://www.vysledky-rally.cz/vysledky/?rz=34&filtr=

the best...all quotes in english as well.

and a little bit faster than ewrc.cz

[tolis]

Hanninen faster in SWRC in this stage, 19.6 sec in front of Al Attiyah!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[N.O.T]

since when a tourist like al-attyah became a good measure ?

[Mirek]

Seems like Juho finally found how to drive in Mexico. His first visit, am I right?

[dimviii]

Seems like Juho finally found how to drive in Mexico. His first visit, am I right?
And his first proper ss time till now for him.

Day 1 highlights: http://www.woop.gr/article/19651/wrc-mexico-highlights-day-1-video

[Barreis]

Thanks very much, friend! :)

[OldF]

These results I didn’t wont but was a little afraid this could happen. Seb 1 and 2 was 5th and 6th on the stages on the first day and today Mikko and JML are 3rd and 4th respectively.

[Barreis]

WRC.com results work now..

[dimviii]

Loeb is flying

[OldF]

wrc.com works again.

[Francis44]

Loeb not taking it easy anymore I see, 9.3 seconds quicker than Ogier on the last split.

[Viking]

wrc.com works again.

Dont tell everyone, more than five users and it will go down again...

[dimviii]

18.10,2 at 2010 Loeb Duarte 1
18.02,2 at 2011 Loeb Duarte 1

[Tom206wrc]

Finally Loeb -15"4 on Ogier ;)

[Tom206wrc]

Let's see how Petter will get strategy on that one(full attack or not) :bounce:

[Mise]

So Seb 2 can't win. Congratulations to Sebastien Loeb for his 8th tittle.

[Mirek]

Loeb classic - starting to destroy everybody in second leg...

[Francis44]

I dont think it's over yet, Ogier will not clean much more today and I believe he can be quicker than Loeb in the afternoon.

[OldF]

Dont tell everyone, more than five users and it will go down again...

Should we make some agreement who can use the wrc.com at any given time?

[N.O.T]

hmmm i think ogier had some troubles on this one...even the fords are gainning on him....

[Co-driven]

Problems for Novikov too...

[Tom206wrc]

Petter -6 on split one !!!! He tries something here !!! :cool:

[OldF]

Novikov was taking it very easy on the previous stage when even Block was faster than him.

[dimviii]

I dont think it's over yet, Ogier will not clean much more today and I believe he can be quicker than Loeb in the afternoon.

While Ogier sweeping also gaining from Loeb? Don t think so,even at second loop

[N.O.T]

i think quesnel will impose orders now....

[N.O.T]

Solberg will be 5th by the end of the rally if he goes like that.

[Tom206wrc]

-16 for Petter now :eek:

[dimviii]

Problems for Novikov too...

Problems? in previous stage without problems was 2sec/km slower too.

[Fide]

sollberg -16 on second split....

[N.O.T]

team orders by the citroen team boss then...he let them fight for 1 stage, and the leader would be the winner.

[N.O.T]

next stage in 3 minutes

[Sulland]

What happened to Peter in the end. he lost a bit. Not gremlins I hope !?

[N.O.T]

no splits....

[jonkka]

First split at point 4?

[Tom206wrc]

Oil leak for Novikov :(

[dimviii]

also s2000 seems that are much faster this year in last two stages.Maybe terren is faster,thats why wrc were so much faster than previous year.

[nr7wave]

What happened to Peter in the end. he lost a bit. Not gremlins I hope !?

Not really. He was 16 up on Oigier on the 2. Split. He beat him with 19 at the end.

[Doug Woods]

Novikov was taking it very easy on the previous stage when even Block was faster than him.

Seems that Novikov must have been driving even easier on the next stage also as Block was faster again, this time by 30 seconds. Ogier and Ostberg must also have been taking it easy as they were only 16 and 10 seconds ahead of Block.

[Tom206wrc]

Only -1" for Loeb on Ogier this time ;)

[dimviii]

Derramadero 1 2010 14,03 Loeb
Derramadero 1 2011 14,04 Loeb
Anyway even if the terren is slightly faster new wrc cars will not be slow in spectators eyes.And thats only good for the sport.

[bluuford]

The best chance for Ford to take a stage win in this one..

[Tom206wrc]

Latvala about to sign the first best time of a Ford ever on this event ;)

[dimviii]

Novikov retired

[Tom206wrc]

Failure !!! Latvala couldn't match Loeb's time :mark:
And anyway there's Petter yet to come :p :

[Tom206wrc]

Problem for Henning ???? +18 on first split is way too much !!!! :eek: :confused:

[Mirek]

First split is after 9 minutes of driving, so some 15 km into the stage...

[bluuford]

Henning has been driving without powersteering since the first stage in the morning

[Sulland]

Problem for Henning ???? +18 on first split is way too much !!!! :eek: :confused:

Could be the servo steering issue he complained about.

[Tom206wrc]

-3"5 for Solberg split 4 :)

[bluuford]

Well.. Ford has no reason to push right now. No one is behind and the guys in front are very far away. And Citroen's are fighting for the win. Right now the most reasonable solution is to test different settings on high altitudes. So called "Mikko attitude" is quite reasonable right now ;-)

[Fide]

reasonable and looooser....

[dimviii]

solberg wins stage

[Tom206wrc]

Solberg finally -5"6 over Loeb :cool:
He has to push this afternoon again, reaching his brother's position would be fine ;)

[Fide]

Solberg finally -5"6 over Loeb :cool:

indeed he will...

Also Hirvonen explains he has problems with gearshift me thinks :confused:

[dimviii]

Mikko already 1min 47 sec slower.End of day must be about 2min 30sec....

[nr7wave]

Solberg finally -5"6 over Loeb :cool:
He has to push this afternoon again, reaching his brother's position would be fine ;)

Great time! And without handbrake since this morning!?!?

[N.O.T]

HIRVONEN M. / LEHTINEN J. "Very fast stage. Loeb is driving like mad, yes, I'm bit surprised." from rally.cz

i wonder how Solbergs driving is then according to mr quitter.

[N.O.T]

I think Latvala should try and reach a deal with citroen when Loeb retires.

[miksu]

yep. Lets hope so

[OldF]

I think Latvala should try and reach a deal with citroen when Loeb retires.

I think that the French language skills are a prerequisite to get a drive with Citroen.

[A.F.F.]

Weren't you suppose to back sunday ??

[Catiocha7]

P Solberg had 30 s penalty ...??
Why ?
:(

[dimviii]

Weren't you suppose to back sunday ??

Dont make him angry, in a rally with Citroens 1,4min faster at halfway. :p

[nr7wave]

P Solberg had 30 m penalty ...??
Why ?
:(

Thats from yesterday, I think. He was late for the timecontrol because he was trying to fix the electrical problems he had with the engine/throtle.

[Co-driven]

P Solberg had 30 m penalty ...??
Why ?
:(

Yesterday when he had the electrical problems, he solved it in the road section but arrived late to next time control.

[N.O.T]

Weren't you suppose to back sunday ??

...i said if ogier was disqualified i would be back on sunday...

[N.O.T]

I think that the French language skills are a prerequisite to get a drive with Citroen.

I think he can learn them pretty fast if he wants...look at sordo.

[Catiocha7]

Thankx
:)

[N.O.T]

next year i would like to see Hirvonen and Wilson in the official ford team so we can have a complete sick dog team and then i could organise their fan club....and Latvala in a citroen... in the team the of the icecube guy if Loeb is still in the official one.

[Francis44]

What annoyes me in all of this is that Latvala is wasting some of his best years of his career on this, I would love to see VW picking him up, that would be good for both.

[Co-driven]

These good times that P. Solberg set today are mainly because of his road position?

Or does he have a real chance of fighting for victories throughout this year?

[BVB Rallying]

In my opinion P. Solberg really has the chance to win rallies this year. His pace is not the problem as we can see this weekend ;)

[Ucci]

These are hars words, but still in the principle you are right!! Mikko is (again) sleepy driver and if already on the second rally of the season he is satisfied with his position and giving up any kind of resistance, playing tactics...his points advantage thanks to Sweden victory against Loeb&Ogier will melt like a snow on the warm spring sun....Mikko, at least try some stages flat-out, to prove that you can at least follow Seb1&Seb2 gravel pace.....

[nr7wave]

In my opinion P. Solberg really has the chance to win rallies this year. His pace is not the problem as we can see this weekend ;)

And remember that Petter has had only one day of testing on gravel prior to this rally. And it was on roads very different from the ones we have in Mexico.

[dimviii]

These good times that P. Solberg set today are mainly because of his road position?

Or does he have a real chance of fighting for victories throughout this year?

Generally while he is not lacking speed,he is not continuesly in a rally fast.In some stages he is,while in some not.Also plenty of times in a rally without proper setup.
believe that with a little more luck can achieve a win.

[A.F.F.]

...i said if ogier was disqualified i would be back on sunday...

God for bid he wasn't...... :mark:

[Marre]

there is no reason for mikko to push in the afternoon and risk going of. so many flat tyres this weekend, he could still finish second if he take it cool himself.

[N.O.T]

i think there is no reason for him to try and win anything from now on....

I think Loeb destroyed his spirit 2 years back ridiculing him like a a crippled fish in G.B....from then on he is not the same.

Lets hope latvala has a clean run from now on so we don't have a one course dinner this year as well....

[WRC1]

+1

[dimviii]

there is no reason for mikko to push in the afternoon and risk going of. so many flat tyres this weekend, he could still finish second if he take it cool himself.
with his performance till now, he is not having a chance for second position.Yesterday at finish was 1.22,2 beside Ogier,and today after the first loop he is still 1.23,3. while Ogier sweep the roads and he is driving in clean road.At second loop Ogier is going to increase their difference.All these without flat tyres or mechanical problems which are in the playfield as well.

[Marre]

still hope hirvonen does it this year.

[A.F.F.]

Hirvonen is thinking like Burns did when he won his title, there no need of winning any rallyes, just grab points from there and there and voila....

[Barreis]

Let we all hope that no Finns will be a champ this year.. :D

[Marre]

Hirvonen is thinking like Burns did when he won his title, there no need of winning any rallyes, just grab points from there and there and voila....

but Burns didn´t have Loeb against him, if loeb wins most of the rallys your theory doesn´t work.

[N.O.T]

Let we all hope that no Finns will be a champ this year.. :D

if things at ford don't change and if latvala doesn't change sides i think you can be happy for at least 5 years more...

[Marre]

Let we all hope that no Finns will be a champ this year.. :D

i just hope Loeb doesn´t win again :) so that he´s not undefeatable

[A.F.F.]

but Burns didn´t have Loeb against him, if loeb wins most of the rallys your theory doesn´t work.

It shouldn't work! IMO winners should earn the title! So Mikko needs to change his attitude quickly. Or gear. Or whatever. But I hope he won't be thinking about possible punctures or other stuff in order to cruise to the finishline.

[bluuford]

Kruuda´s time is missing again. Problems with the car or timing?

[Rallyper]

i think there is no reason for him to try and win anything from now on....

I think Loeb destroyed his spirit 2 years back ridiculing him like a a crippled fish in G.B....from then on he is not the same.

Lets hope latvala has a clean run from now on so we don't have a one course dinner this year as well....

You have already forgot that Mikkos bonnet went loose and made him stop when charging for no 1 place.

[dimviii]

15 min to see Ogiers party?

[Rallyper]

but Burns didn´t have Loeb against him, if loeb wins most of the rallys your theory doesn´t work.

Well, Burns didnt have Loeb, but McRae, Martin, Makinen, Aureol, Saintz, Kankkunen ....... So please!

[Josti]

You have already forgot that Mikkos bonnet went loose and made him stop when charging for no 1 place.

Maybe so, but it was a too conservative drive from Mikko in the end. He should have given it all or nothing.

He should cherish 3rd place right now.

[dimviii]

Well, Burns didnt have Loeb, but McRae, Martin, Makinen, Aureol, Saintz, Kankkunen ....... So please!

Cause of this, wins didn t went to one driver,but to a lot of drivers.In this case its achievable to win the championship without win/s

[hari]

Loeb in Trouble?

Edit: Only started late behind Hirvonen

[ZequeArgentina]

no splits from Loeb in SS15..........
GPS glitch?

EDIT: "only started late"? that means penalty, was that tactic or real problem?

[bluuford]

+50 seconds penalty for Loeb then

[Marre]

Cause of this, wins didn t went to one driver,but to a lot of drivers.In this case its achievable to win the championship without win/s

exactly my point to...

[Fide]

dont think are tactics...

[ZequeArgentina]

not with 50 seconds, 30 seconds could have been, not 50!!!

[Fide]

radio mentioned probably "electrical problems"

[emk]

Could be less than 50sec, the penalty is given by the time he is in TC, not starting time. So he could go to TC with the same minute as Mikko, 3 minutes late, but is given the start time of two minutes behind Mikko. We'll see.

[Rallyper]

exactly my point to...

OK, then.

[Francis44]

Latvala pushing the Fiesta to maximum.

[dimviii]

LOEB S. / ELENA D. (st. č. 1) 5 min late into TC before SS start

[jonkka]

wrc.com texts says:

20:06 Loeb starts SS15 late

Sebastien Loeb starts SS15 four minutes late. The Frenchman is likely to suffer time penalties of 40 seconds.

[dimviii]

ogier 11 sec faster than morning pass

[Salist]

Can anybody give a Split times link?

[Co-driven]

http://wrc.com/results/2011/split-times/

[N.O.T]

OGIER S. / INGRASSIA J. "I don't want take the lead like this. I'm not happy for it, we are in one team."

True champion !!!!

HIRVONEN M. / LEHTINEN J. "He was working on the car, didn't see him behind at TC. Stage was OK, I tried to get good speed and avoid to puncture."

Rally.cz is the source....

What was ogiers words mean ?? Loeb had technical issue or quesnel ordered Loeb to be late ?

[dimviii]

First Ford win?

[Francis44]

Loeb with gear problems as it seems, stuck in 3rd before the stage, and stopped to repair.

[dimviii]

LOEB S. / ELENA D. (st. č. 1) Had broken link between shifting and gearbox "We were really late into TC because traffic, then came into start line it wasn't able to change gears. We had to repair it and lost 5 minutes." / " "

from http://www.vysledky-rally.cz/

[Walach]

Still problems for Henning...:/

[N.O.T]

LOEB S. / ELENA D. Had broken link between shifting and gearbox "We were really late into TC because traffic, then came into start line it wasn't able to change gears. We had to repair it and lost 5 minutes. We used some part of rear bumper."

rally.cz

[ZequeArgentina]

I understand Ogier´s words as," I do not like to take the lead from my teamate onñy because he had technical problems."

(edited to better write down my idea)

[N.O.T]

yes...very nice of him

[BleAivano]

where is JML shouldn't he have finished the stage by now?


*edit there he is.

[darkstar]

i would love to see what loeb has fixed there...what kind of part of the bumper would he have been able to use?

latvala is at finish but no time yet.

p. solberg has power steering problem´s, he is going to retire he say´s.

[ZequeArgentina]

Solberg is close in splits ti JML,maybe still a win for a Citroen.

[N.O.T]

latvala finished the stage...no time given yet

[dimviii]

latvala finished the stage...no time given yet

18,12,9

[Co-driven]

p. solberg has power steering problem´s, he is going to retire he say´s.

You mean Henning, right?

[Walach]

How big are the gaps between the crews? 2 or 3 minutes?

[Fide]

You mean Henning, right?

It was Henning, not Petter.

[darkstar]

ups, yes, sorry, h. solberg of course!

[Co-driven]

How big are the gaps between the crews? 2 or 3 minutes?

3 minutes.

[ZequeArgentina]

Hening with steering problems still.
Mads also change rack because of the same, Mat. Wilson same in Sweden, looks liek Ford has an issue to get into.

[Walach]

3 minutes.

Thank you :-)
Mads also with power steering problems....

[Co-driven]

And here comes Petter to save Citroen...hahaha.

[Fide]

Petter won the SS

[Francis44]

Petter Solberg takes the win in this stage.

[N.O.T]

no win for ford yet...solberg fastest

[dimviii]

wtf with hennings power steering? after service they didn t change it? wasn t he had problems from morning?

[Walach]

Wow...
SOLBERG P. / PATTERSON Ch. (st. č. 11) "We want go for podium. Everything can happened. Just to push on."

[N.O.T]

good luck with that....

[dimviii]

good luck with that....

he is going to need luck ,with more than 5 minutes from 3rd position

[Fide]

Unless something happens with top guys, this is the best position Petter is able to reach this weekend. Then considering the problems he had yesterday; it doesn't sound bad. Also remains the power stage to obtain extra points...

[N.O.T]

Block also late due to traffic.....maybe if citroen protests the penalty thye can give it back if they can prove Loeb was late due to traffic as well

[Francis44]

Well he said he had to stop for some minutes to radio microphones, so that pretty much ruins it for him.

[Hartusvuori]

It has now been 38 consecutive Mexican stage wins for Citroen.

[darkstar]

loeb also said he arrived in the minute but then his gear got stuck...

[dimviii]

at wrc.com there is a video with Kuipers roll

[Walach]

The results looks very funny now - two French, then two Finns and then three Norwegians :p

[tolis]

Kruuda retired again today...

[Barreis]

When is power stage?

[tolis]

When is power stage?
Tomorrow 17:00 UK time.

[darkstar]

no time´s for loeb...and just blabla on wrr. whats up there?

[ZequeArgentina]

There is no re-group, so Loeb starts 3rd on the road
May gain some 6 to 8 seconds I guess.

[darkstar]

ah ok, you´re right, now his splits are coming up...

[dimviii]

Loeb is flying

[dimviii]

ogier 26 sec faster than morning pass

[ZequeArgentina]

ogier 26 sec faster than morning pass
Only 6 seconds faster!
I estimated 8 seconds faster for Loeb, he is gaining even more!!!

[MTA]

No.
Ogier Duarte 1: 18:17.6
Ogier Duarte 2: 17:51.8

25,8 sek faster

[ZequeArgentina]

Ot was 17:57.8 for Ogier at Duarte1, look: http://vysledky-rally.cz/vysledky/?filtr=&id=2&rz=35&x=15&y=14

EDIT; you are right, you were comparing Ogiers times. Sorry,my mistake.

[ttiirika]

Loeb is master in tactics too.

[dimviii]

http://www.ewrc-results.com/results_main.php?event=2225&stage=15759&category=&group=&section=

[MTA]

5. 2 M OGIER S. / INGRASSIA J.
CITROËN DS3 WRC wrc 18:17.6 ?

But Peter has the time to which you link to:

1. 11 M SOLBERG P. / PATTERSON Ch.
CITROËN DS3 WRC wrc 17:57.8 00:00.0
00:00.0

became a bit confused there dimvii ;)

[6789]

Loeb is master in tactics too.

+1

No penalty applied yet either??

[Francis44]

Loeb is behind Ogier 10.4 seconds so I presume he got a penalty already .

[saxter]

50'' penalty for the short one!

http://www.ewrc-results.com/results_main.php?event=2225&stage=15763&category=&group=&section=

[Fide]

Another SS for Petter

[6789]

Loeb is behind Ogier 10.4 seconds so I presume he got a penalty already .

Thanks, just on my iPhone :)

[nr7wave]

Insane time by Petter! He was 1.1 down on Ogier the first split and is 3.9 quicker than Loeb at the end. Great stuff!

[Ucci]

Yessssss, Loeb is very, very angry. Yust 10 seconds behind his team-mate and we still have one long stage today.....

[Halvis]

Petter fastest again.

[6789]

Ogier should do a jump start and then see if that will get him behind Loeb lol

[darkstar]

loeb can react to what ogier is doing when ever he wants...

[MTA]

[Motorsportfun]

Block stopped again. But last year was for the fans... :D

[dimviii]

stage wins so far Loeb 6,Ogier 5,Solberg 4

[OldF]

Must be a difficult rally when drivers like Mads and Juho are struggling a lot.

[jonkka]

stage wins so far Loeb 6,Ogier 5,Solberg 4

I think Loeb 6, Ogier 5, Solberg 5

[Rallyper]

Nothing works on WRC-page......

[Francis44]

No reason for Loeb to push, because if he does he will clean tomorrow.

[N.O.T]

the situation at ford is pretty grim.....but at least wilsons son gets to drive more events...right ??

He is still 10 sec behind,he can control via splits to be second on road but with small difference from Ogier

[N.O.T]

jonkka is right...

Must be a difficult rally when drivers like Mads and Juho are struggling a lot.

After SS2 Juho was loosing 2:00. After SS16 he is loosing 1:18, so not that bad ;)

[N.O.T]

hmmm loebs splits do not appear....

[dimviii]

hmmm loebs splits do not appear....
tyxaio? den nomizw..

[jonkka]

Yeh, Loeb missing a split...

[darkstar]

still no split...exiting!

[ZequeArgentina]

2 splits by now...........

[Co-driven]

The drivers have access to the split times in the car?

Is it just like the video-games, where it appears green when you are faster and red when slower?

[N.O.T]

Loeb gps problem....

[N.O.T]

13:52 for Loeb slower than Ogier :) smart move

[Francis44]

Much off the road is clean tomorrow, exciting battle on the way.

[Comal]

the situation at ford is pretty grim.....but at least wilsons son gets to drive more events...right ??

Yeah and apparently Wilslow will be on podium at Portugal (according to his press release) BAHAHAHAHAHA

[N.O.T]

yes tommorow most stages are repeats of todays and fridays in reverse...still different lines so there is going to be some cleaning but much less.

[N.O.T]

lets see if solberg spoils the fun for latvala again....

[darkstar]

so, at last one stage win for ford then...maybe? ;)

[N.O.T]

Loeb stalled on this stage as well....

[bluuford]

And first stage win for Ford!

[N.O.T]

Problems for Solberg...+12 on second split.....Latvala gets the win !!! Gratz to him....

[pettersolberg29]

Petter loses 12s at 2nd split

[dimviii]

petter on problems?

[OldF]

After SS2 Juho was loosing 2:00. After SS16 he is loosing 1:18, so not that bad ;)

Yes, he’s improving and on stage 16 he was the fastest SWRC driver. Hope this improvement continues tomorrow. However I’ve a feeling that you don’t wont Juho to overtake Prokop for some reason. ;)

[Tom206wrc]

Massive loss on split 2 for Solberg P :s

[N.O.T]
