Rally Sweden 2012

[Francis44]

It's just like having family money to start rallying. It bring haters too.

I do not hate rich drivers, as an example I really like Novikov and I think he can get much better than Mikkelsen.

Oh Snap I said it.

[DonJippo]

I didn't get the full conversation and don't know who the guy in VW clothing was. Could be Ogiers boyfriend for all I know.

So you don't know who it was and what really was said but it makes Ogier a whining wimp, interesting...

In a blunt way, if someone would ask me why I love rallying, that picture of Go Fast -livery Henning flying above the spectators should do the speaking for me. That's the whoa effect, and there's more in the nuances.

I don't hate Ogier, and have some doubts that the forum membres hate him.

[Juha_Koo]

finnish mtv3max showed those onboard specials last year, does someone know if they show them this year too? i´m really sad that there are no onboards, also from monte...


As far as I know, they haven't showed them anymore. I'm not paying for MTV3 Max chanel, but there was some talk about it on Finnish forum.

Yeah, no more onboards in any form... Not in Youtube nor Incar Specials from MAX. This is directly linked to the fall of NOS.

In Sweden Filmworks was using old NOS incar cameras on most of the cars AFAIK. Citroens had something else I believe. But for example the WRC Youtube channel was administrated by NOS and therefore I doubt that we will see any onboards there ever again. I'm also very concerned about NOS' onboard video archive, it could well end up being deleted/taken to some remote landfill site as a waste - over ten years of WRC footage destroyed is something which gives me chills. Maybe we should start asking around? I already did, but with slim results. Those have to be saved.

Maybe Ford/Citroen media could upload some onboards to internet, atleast during the NOS period they had access to onboard videos. Most likely this season will be very poor onboard-wise. :( This is a return to the pre-2007 season situation when WRC onboards were not shown nearly anywhere.

[Lundgaard]

The NOS-onboards are so bad, that it is no problem if we never see then again.

This guy should be hired! THAT is onboard.

[Rallyper]

Haven´t seen this mentioned here before so I don´t know if it is true or not, but this one claims that Latvala crashed into a civil car during the recce:

"Jag kunde ha dött i kollisionen" - nwt.se - Ditt Värmland, just nu! (http://www.nwt.se/hagfors/article1054912.ece)

Yeah, I saw that also. I think he met a woman on Colin´s Crest and it was a touch. The woamn decided to make a report to the local police because she experienced him to be ignorant to the accident.

I say - women and cars just don´t make a sense..... being at the stage when recce is going on. Bah!

[Mirek]

being at the stage when recce is going on. Bah!

Rallying as a sport held on public roads is fully dependent on a tolerance of local people. Maybe in Sweden the stages lead through forgotten areas where there are no people living and traveling. But there are also many other countries with public traffic on stages during recce because You can't stop the everyday's life of thousands. Closing roads for the rally itself is more than enough to make some people crazy. If You add few accidents and some portion of arrogance the stage is over. Rallying in my country is a perfect example how to lost some classic stages for that reason...

I agree with you Mirek. RS's stages are usually in low populated areas but people still need to be able to access the roads.

Just because you are doing recce does not mean that you can ignore regular traffic rules. On the contrary they are obliged to follow the
same rules as everyone else. The same goes for the rally cars when they are on the transport stages, they are just like any other car.

[Rallyper]

This was according to the article a way for the woman to express her aggression to the drivers behavour not to the accident itself. But - being a local knowing there´s recce going on should also mean some tolerance. No rally in the area of Varmland, there would be no villages and habitants as well. That is a true fact.

And also Illegal Recce makes that even worse, here in Belgium it's more of a virus. Lot's of pilots do it from top level to bottom level.

Here in Portugal is worst. The majority of drivers do that, and the ASN doesn't seem worried as well the organizers.

After that during years, one of our top drivers went to an international career and during two years was unable of running even near of the others. The problem? Not used to run flat-out with two times recce per stage :D

It would be difficult to speak like that in a moment something serious happen. There is some hope such day never comes but You never know and court won't think that way You do. That's also fact because it happened elsewhere.

[Barreis]

:rotflmao:

Didn't say anything about sexual orientation. :D

[Rallyper]

I do not know if JML drove over the speed limit or behaved wrong. Nothing about that in the article. Only according to angry woman. I think average local drivers always will see the recce as drivers moving around too fast on their roads where they usually drive in 30 km/h, so yes, it´s a problem.

[Mirek]

Don't get me wrong, I don't speak about this particular incident I have no knowledge about. I reacted on Your post no.1744.

[EightGear]

If I was hit by Latvala I would feel honoured!

[cali]

in mtv3 article JML says that accident happened around 60km/h and he was the one who was driving too much to the centre of the road. The woman reportedly was very upset, because journalists have twisted her words in swedish press.

Agree.

It is possible this is the worst in your country Jam, but that the drivers should evolve and become really good at dictating notes to measure up to those who are fastest in the WRC (the five really fast), this might be the biggest problem of many countries, yes, maybe all.
Many drivers become best in their home country, in just this way and do not understand that it is precisely this fact that they can not manage to follow the speed when they come to the WRC.
I would say that this is the biggest problem with newcomers to the WRC.
They are very talented as drivers, but is not close to understanding how good they should be on the notes, to keep up with the top.

This is also something we should take into consideration, when we criticize such as Ott Tanaka or any other newcomers.

[Barreis]

Hahahah, you're crazy.

Dimviii and I were very close to be hitten by Latvala in his test last year before the Acropolis Rally. Do you remember Dimitris? :D

[Barreis]

Me also in 1997 from golf kit car with 170km/h.

[Maui J.]

Just watched the 3 days of the rally on Youtube (thanks WRCforeva).
I think the organisers of Rally Sweden should be thanked for arranging these pictures so quickly. Organising a rally of this scale is a huge task, but then all of a sudden being dumped with the TV coverage as well with only days noticed is another massive hurdle.

Well done to them. Did they secure the 300,000 Euro needed or did they make a loss?

Nice videos. If you see that jump on stage 13 Frediksberg, you see that the WRC cars do better jumps than the S2000 cars. I never realised it's such an big difference.

[JAM]

This is also something we should take into consideration, when we criticize such as Ott Tanaka or any other newcomers.

This subject as some issues that must be considered.

If a driver needs to have results to be known and able to catch sponsors to make international events, then this driver need to fight with the ones that made a lot of recce to be fast. So, he has to choose to do a lot of recce and be as fast as the others, or not do as much recce and be ready to do international rallyes even not so fast in his own country.

Not being fast in their own country creates a problem to find sponsors to an international career.

That's why i considerer that a weak ASN creates a big trouble to everyone in terms of illegal recce.

Hahahah, you're crazy.

I know! :D

They don't have the big wing. That's the reason why they generally fly worse although they can do big jump from time to time like Mikkelsen and Tidemand on Colin's crest who had longer jumps than most of the WRC drivers.

Back from the stages and the service park in Sweden, nothing special to say. Only surprising thing was Loebs continuing problems with snowrallies( but he`s the best everywhere else so it`s forgivable..)
About the cars, all seem quit equal now regarding the engines, Citroen and Ford have clearly better suspension setups for this surface but guess the Minis are at the top (or close) on tarmac!
What else is there to say than that Latvala basically controlled the event and had speed in reserve when needed.
Also noticed that Proton nowadays runs on Reigers i thought they ran on Proflex earlier, not sure though. And the factory Skodas(VW) still run on Reiger(at least the shells) but this is probably due to classifications.

[Mirek]

VW Škodas were on Reiger? Are You sure? In RMC they were on Sachs (red cartridges). I'm very surprised if that is true because I heard new Sachs dampers were homologated by škoda for VW at 1st January...

Proton has used Reiger since Canarias 2011. before they used Dynamic.

EDIT: Photo from Sweden, I would bet it is Sachs...

Hello

Just saw the topmounts at the service park and they at least were Reigers as well as the breather for the damper. The purple colour is quit easy to notice..
But in all fairness I did not see the actual damperbody so might be that for some reason they used just some parts in top from old cars if the Sachs ones aren`t ready yet?
And thanks for the Proton info, I wasn`t aware of that!

Rumors say they (Ogier and Andreas) used the Sachs dampers, at least one of the days in Sweden, and they should have used Rieger at least one of the days.
Why I write rumors, is that I do not fully trust the informant.

but I can say with certainty that the Sachs damper are available and tested.

[Coach 2]

A million dollars question.
how much downgrade in terms of power were the fiestas of Henning Tanak Ostberg Novikov? :D

I think I can say with great certainty, that at least Novikov and Mads had the same engine as the factory team.
When the factory team mounted the box for power stage, they got the same.

plenty of forumers said a lot of times that cars aren t same in terms of power.Specially Mads fiesta mentioned last year wasn t powerfull as works ones,after Sweden.In Sweden it was rocket,at next rallies was downgraded.
in the next rally are they going to be the same like Sweden,or are they going to steel some horses?

[Xsara Fan]

A million dollars question.

Wrong question. Difference between factory and non-factory is not only in power.

At Rally of GB 2011 Novikov drove third Abu Dhabi Team car. It was a non-factory car, but it was 15 kg lighter than usual Novikov`s car. Also Evgeny has old suspension (he can`t adjust it between stages) but other M-Sport drivers has new suspension. This year Novikov`s car has new suspension.

[Mirek]

I thought You can adjust even group N dampers between stages. I can hardly imagine it is not possible with WRC ones.

[donlorean]

Yes, but if you put same setup than usually, it's not working same way... Click's are in same position but setup is totally different... Maybe that's why he must do some adjustment... Don't know, just quess...

You didn t understant my question. ;) If you have understand,we can discuss it.


At Rally of GB 2011 Novikov drove third Abu Dhabi Team car. It was a non-factory car, but it was 15 kg lighter than usual Novikov`s car..
You really think that 15kg can make difference at Novikovs last year speed?
Of course every car doesn t weight same as the other cars.Same for every manufacture.



Also Evgeny has old suspension (he can`t adjust it between stages) but other M-Sport drivers has new suspension. This year Novikov`s car has new suspension.
Can you explain me why he couldn t adjust his suspension between stages?


So what happens guys? Suddenly Mads have a ''good'' ecu program? :D

[tfp]

Dont forget his good road position in sweden last year.

[AMSS]

The shimming or valving might have changed yes, but the basic principle what happens when adjusting with the clicks is always the same, regardless of shim setting or valving.
I can`t think of any reason why he couldn`t chnge cliscks between stages other than no knowledge in what to do?
At least it`s certain that they haven`t removed the click units only from his car! Beacuse it would have needed classification.

[bluuford]

Just looked the final day from Motors TV. Two persons discussion works really well! It gives the sole to the footages.
And finally I realized that we had 6 different drivers on podium in two events. it took 5 events to happen in last year.

[mousti]

Plus Julian and Colin are great talkers! I like this duo more then Becs and Colin. That's why I could listen a whole day to IRC rally radio, but not so much with WRC rally radio.

I believe the original poster was actually meaning to say more precisely by adjustment: ride height. I had a comment on the blog last year explaining that the works drivers can change the ride height of their cars with a tool, rather easily, between stages. While others can only do it at service because different system.

Also Evgeny has old suspension (he can`t adjust it between stages) but other M-Sport drivers has new suspension. This year Novikov`s car has new suspension.

Do you mean suspension or ride high? At least last year I think that only the manu cars had the ability to change the ride high between stages. I saw on MTV3 broadcast when JML lowered the car before the tarmac stages in Argentina. It was done by a crank and the adjustment point was near the front damper.

[positive critic] I donnow is it only me, but most of the cars look somehow "static", like they are parked in a museum. Take a look on what other photografers share, which type of corners choose, and set your camera on "best shot mode" which means one click takes dozen photos for a couple of seconds (while the car is flying past you) and then choose the most attractive ones.

In my opinion haer72's photos look great and there is no need to change the settings. Keep up the good work! ;)
