Rallye Monte Carlo 2015

[Eli]

if you remember last year Meeke was playing the long game also (with a bit of speed), he came 3rd at the end...

[WUff1]

So the fastest drivers are not the ones who drive in Top 5.

[Ucci]

What did Kubica's fans bring him?

by the way-who was today the fastest?? Kubica....so there is something if you attack ! Even on Monte.....

[Eli]

So the fastest drivers are not the ones who drive in Top 5.

except Ogier maybe

[René]

its hard for Koci he didnt deserve this issue

[tommeke_B]

Great speed but in the end he goes home with 0 points (except if he shows something on powerstage).

[KKS]

Kremer 2nd o/a and Camilli faster by30sec of any other WRC2 %):spinhead:

[Fast Eddie WRC]

There has to be some element of trying to be fastest otherwise whats the point, it might as well be just an endurance event.

If you have an off or a spin, at least it shows you're trying. Respect to those that try, not those who just take no risks whatsoever just to finish.

[N.O.T]

So all but the VW drivers should just drive around at Monte-Carlo with no risks. Great that would be for everyone to watch.

they actually did that including the VW team... the only one who took risks was Loeb and we know how this ended.

[René]

Camilli do the job with panache

no need to cry... it is just one event.

[KKS]

yes.
But tomorrow battle continue.. but for 3rd

3. Koci
4. Camilli +1.0
5. Breen +1.4

[Eli]

2 stage wins for Ogier and he's leading, just shows how important it is to stay on the road here

[Ucci]

Great speed but in the end he goes home with 0 points (except if he shows something on powerstage).

I you observe him you get the feeling that he is not in a hunt for points......he wants to win stages....unfortunately for very high costs.....but, respect for him. He showed today that his days (better say his events are coming soon) and there will be points. For sure!

[Fast Eddie WRC]

no need to cry... it is just one event.

Bet it happens again.. :bigcry:

[dimviii]

its hard for Koci he didnt deserve this issue

21 years old,1st time at Monte.I think is 1st time with 4wd car?

[René]

21 years old,1st time at Monte.I think is 1st time with 4wd car?

Brilliant.....

[dimviii]

The Peugeot driver is second quickest in WRC2, 2.7sec slower than Lefebvre. And he's delighted. "Finally! I have to take my hat off to my engineer, he's made a big, big, big improvement. After our test I thought I knew how to set the car up - but now we are on the correct set-up. My rally starts here!"

at this stage was 30 sec slower than Camilli....

[satukata]

A fantastic podium fight in prospect tomorrow - just 22.1sec separates second to fifth place.

[marcosg]

21 years old,1st time at Monte.I think is 1st time with 4wd car?

he has driven quite a few 4wd cars

[tommeke_B]

Koci has plenty of experience with group N (Evo 9) and Skoda Fabia S2000 in national events. I think mostly Czech Republic and Slovakia if I'm not mistaken. Last year he showed some speed with DS3 R3 as well, in Finland he was also doing very well imo. Another guy to keep an eye on. :)

[PLuto]

It is not first time with 4WD. He has experience with Skoda Fabia S2000 and he has started also with this Fiesta R5.

[tommeke_B]

I'm confident Eric Camilli can do it. Count off his time-loss in SS1 he would have been in a solid lead of almost a minute... But unfortunately this isn't the case..

[René]

Count off his time-loss in SS1 (because a puncture)

Not a bad french drivers result today

- WRC - 1th Ogier/Ingrassia

- WRC2 - 1th Lefebvre/Prevot

- WRC3 - 1th Gilbert/Jamoul

- RGT - 1th Delecour/Savignoni

[cosmin_sb]

the most quickly driver on the third day is Kubica follow by Meeke

[tommeke_B]

Good day for Belgian codrivers too... :)

[N.O.T]

the camera was hand held you genius... not constant to have a proper view... both seem to be deep enough... but the piece of junk lost its marbles.

and i see more than 2 pine trees... around 20...

[AndyRAC]

We've seen in the past that the DS3 has weak suspension, this is just another example. Ogier hit a wall in the first stage last year - and carried on, and won the event. VW build a stronger car.

go to school second time, or complete first run ;) Camera on same place you can see it, but can't accept it
Or reme,ber physics when Sordo touch something his should rebound like Loeb did.
So go to school

[N.O.T]

it did not rebound because that godly korean creation went over it...

[KKS]

yes, with laser energy absorber mounted at left rear arch of every Hyundai in the world :D

And Loeb dug that rock into a surface, cuz on video before Loeb pass that was invisible.

Latvala and Sordo very lucky to be out of road so many meters and such speed and dont ''touch'' the car.
About Ogier wasnt any mistake ,and the speed was almost to stop.

[dimviii]

jump is not something special.
Inside the village yes!

[Sukhoi]

- And Pirelli Kubica :D

That "action" or "protest" taken by polish fans on WRC fb/yt sites is hillarious, commets are illegible. Kubica and Pirelli everywhere.
(I don't pick any side in here - Polish fans overreact and WRC promotor is surley partial)

Kubica's fans overreact, but they're right. Try to see it in wider point of view. We have a private driver, the fastest on the third leg of Monte Carlo, and he's almost invisible on television broadcast. It looks like WRC coverage is only for factory teams. This is why sponsors are hard to find for many good non-factory drivers.

[tommeke_B]

Last year 63% of entrants took part in last leg. This year it's 87%. That's why spectators love Rally2... :)

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Mads Ostberg “I’m very pleased with today. We drove 100% safe”

H Solberg “Mentally I’m already in the next round in Sweden - where I should go faster, I promise.”

Were any of the non-'Rally 2' drivers really trying after the first day ? Seems only Tanak & Evans, everyone else just cruised to keep their points.

[dimviii]

Did you find anywhere video where Evans clip a wall?

nope

[tommeke_B]

Were any of the non-'Rally 2' drivers really trying after the first day ? Seems only Tanak & Evans, everyone else just cruised to keep their points.

Yes. They are in WRC2: Lefebvre, Koci and Camilli. :)

[Mariusz]

What did Kubica's fans bring him?
Well, just today they asked wrc.com people to show him in stage highlights and, surprise, surprise, they did. Don't underestimate power of fans, especially with nowadays social media craze.

to clarify my point of view, Ofcourse I agree that it should not look like VW fest and I share your opinion on this matter, I just wanted to express my dissatisfaction with SOME of the fans reaction, and bring more attention to the topic.

insults and imprecation might have a detrimental effect.

The real story of a rally like this is found on YouTube. It's a shame that the promoters can't find a way to harness this. I'd give cameras to the fans and hire these more prolific video groups to gather footage. What they get is often 10x better than WRC TV.

[Jarek Z]

There's been a Polish rally fan mobilisation?

Yes, there is a kind of a protest of Polish rally fans against the way the WRC is broadcasted. I cannot say much about it, because I don't watch WRC, but apparently Kubica is not shown in the broadcast, because he is a private driver. I didn't see it, so I don't have my own opinion about it, but if this is true about the broadcast, then it is disgusting and I will support this action as well.

[Simmi]

I don't know what broadcast they've been watching. I've seen Kubica pop up on the broadcast. Okay he hasn't got the same exposure as guys fighting for the lead - but it's surely not bad enough for a campaign to form after fans have seen ONE day of coverage.

A string of fastest times is great but ultimately he isn't fighting for the win. When you've got 20 or so minutes to play with he's not going to feature prominently. The only reason he did so much last year was because he binned it daily.

Lots of things wrong with the WRC broadcasts but I don't think this is one of them.

Man he's destroyed Ogier by almost 2 minutes on one stage and they didn't even mentioned that, has won 4 stages and got 5s of highlights?! Would you think the same if that was about Meeke or Evans? You'd be first one frustrated and complained. He's one of the heroes of this rally and didn't get actually any attention.

This is one of the reasons why I dont like WRC - everything is only about manufacturers. Others are there only to bring money in entry fee...

[Muchonen]

I think it is more about an influence from Michelin to not show or limit to maximum coverage from Pirelli drivers. Last season they had at least shown us results form each stage, now we do not have it and many people think (I may belive them) that is because they would have to show a Pirelli logo. You have to agree, that not showing or limiting tv time to minimum and trying not mentioning the stage winner, no matter how far he would be in general, is kind of ridiculous.

[N.O.T]

Why bother with kubica ? he does not belong there...

[Mintexmemory]

Quite right, the outstanding performance of keeping it on the black stuff (at last) quicker than the other guys who have nothing to protect is noteworthy. Don't for one minute suppose that Ogier couldn't go quicker if he needed to.
Crashy Bob looks good now but only because he was so bad at the start of the rally

Thank you for another valuable comment.

[GigiGalliNo1]

Why bother with kubica ? he does not belong there...

If he had not crashed on the full day 1 proper, he would have still been winning these stages he has won.... still not belong?

[dodge33cymru]

Official highlights are ridiculous; 25 minutes and they don't show any action from the day until the 9th minute. More like 15 minutes of highlights; if I was watching on TV I'd have turned off after 5 minutes of Thursday/Friday repeat.

[mousti]

Maybe, but we have promoter = Redbull, and we have winning team with red bull stickers everywhere... so full of video with redbull, neither a rally

Sordo, Evans and Neuville sponsored by Redbull too..

Just watched a few Kubica onboards on WRC+. I really hope he stays on the road this year. His onboards are something else.

[mohit]

wrc should definitely provide more coverage to privateers

kubica has balls of steel he just needs to cool down a bit may be!

[dodge33cymru]

Dumb thing is, they have a bunch of footage; not sure why they wouldn't put more on WRC+. Same for WRC2; it would cost them peanuts to show the WRC2 cars pass through the live stages for the online feed (not for the TV edits, obviously).

There are cameras on each stage recording each car's pass in a few spots: put those into one video and stick it onto WRC+ or YouTube.

Would take hardly anything extra and offer a lot more.
