when was the last time 200 pages for one rally before it ends?

anyone know what tires Kubica has ? He is destroying others on splits ....

[Eli]

chardonnet crashed

[KKS]

Ogier not moving on the maps?

Old, 2011, gps cover technique?

[cosmin_sb]

goo Kubica !!! :)

[KKS]

BTW who knows Kubica tyre choise?

[bluuford]

Between split 2 and 3 is better with studs, rest of the stage should be better withouth studs

[Quad]

Holy moly Kubica 3rd split, already 30 seconds faster than Meeke and Loeb

[cosmin_sb]

Loeb is slower that Meeke at 3rd split

[Franky]

Old, 2011, gps cover technique?

More likely WRC.com related, since for a moment I saw only Latvala moving. And after several refreshes others started to move a bit and after one or two additional refreshes Ogier's marker was moving normally (between Loeb and Latvala)

[jonkka]

Loeb is slower that Meeke at 3rd split

He's been slower than Meeke in all splits.

[René]

Missing split for Ogier?

[ELPE]

Ogier in problem????

[cosmin_sb]

Ogier much slower that loeb at 4th split

[KKS]

I'm don't understand anything from this stage....
Only as I can explain that Kubica crzy driver. It's only difference

[Eli]

maybe the tyres choice of Kubica is good

[wrchirek]

KUB uses Pirelli, other Michelin.

we have all slicks (Loeb) and crossed 2studds/2SS (Ogier) and it's not work like Kubica do

that was some drive :eek:

and Kubica won the stage

Michelin is crap :D ©Pirelli

Kubica would've been first after this stage if not for the crashes during last two days. All he needs is experience

i expect another off from kubica.


Kubica would've been first after this stage if not for the crashes during last two days. All he needs is experience
all he needs is to learn not to take crazy risks all the time. but as soon as he does that, he won't be winning stages anymore.

[Langdale Forest]

Remember that Kubica was the early leader last year.

[Quad]

Kubica would've been first after this stage if not for the crashes during last two days. All he needs is experience

I think Citroen should have really got him to the team and give him 3rd car. He would have crash it from time to time, but he could win many, many stages. If he will get control over his mistakes... let's wait for that. :cool:

[Langdale Forest]

Unfortunatley I think Kubica will always be prone to crashing, rather like Novokov.

[EightGear]

Neuville is really disappointing so far..

[arko5]

Tanak stopped

The problem with Nuevilla and Sordo is that the Hyundai is rubbish.

Tanak crashed....

pitty for Tanak...

ohhh must be good event to M-Sport.... untril Tanak do that.
Evans - bring car to finish!

That will make a VW 1-2-3 almost certain.

Ah, he was minute faster than Neuville and was 33 secs behind him before the stage. If he wouldn't have 1m20 sec penalty, he'd be past and fastest Hyundai...

guys watch Cammili splits,much faster than Koci-Lefebvre who are fighting.

[pino]

Bertelli crashed.

Dammit ! :mad:

Tanak back on the road

[EstWRC]

man what a shame but at least he can continue, but like i said, this is Tänak's weakest event in the calendar.

Lefebvre and Koci after 51 km stage they manage to have 0,2 sec difference.Thats a fight!

neh, but what can you do, even 9 time champion Loeb made a mistakse. Credit for Tänak doing so well because he has had one of the worst starting positions expect the first two stages IMO.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

4 stage wins now for Kubica - pity he cant cut out the mistakes, but impressive speed and spectacular to watch.

[dimviii]

for sure big role and Pirelli tyres.But kudos to him,very fast at very demanding conditions.

I dont have wrc+ but someone posted a link here where they also broadcasted the images, those images should always be free. Only way to let the wrc grow, and have a bigger audiance.

On WRC+ they have shown only same live stages, which was/will be on TV. So SS 1 and two stages tomorrow. Nothing more...

In promouter side not rally people. Only IT, and they deeply non care about that what they do.
Video present at WRC?
splits are shown on site?
Live stage on every rally?
all yes, but all unusefull but they didn't care about this

4 stage wins now for Kubica - pity he cant cut out the mistakes, but impressive speed and spectacular to watch.

Shame we won't see much on the TV about it..


Michelin will make sure to not show Kubica in private car on Pirelli tyres beating factory cars on Michelin tires in WRC materials :D

Seems that Michelin or the WRC won't really show Kubica on pace during the rally as either Pirelli have to pay for TV coverage, Michelin won't let the other cars with other brands have any coverage or the WRC production crew suck.

Kubica wasn't really mentioned on Day1/2 coverage on his stage wins... a quick word but nothing like the Loeb/Ogier "fight"...

[Ucci]

This particular rally is slowly showing, that we have mostly ''soft WRC stars'', who are far too much respected....Loeb & Kubica are destroying this mit...First as a ''pensioner'', second with private car, almost no experience and top of everything limited right hand movement....

Its not just Kubica that that doesnt get coverage - in the UK there's virtually no rally coverage on the mainstream media (BBC, Sky etc) even though there are now some Brits in works WRC cars.

It was amazing to see a rally mentioned on the BBC website yesterday, but of course just the two Seb's :(

No point to be upset, They have an agreement that must be respected. Besides it's a game on between Ogier & Latvala now, they must focus on it.

I just wonder what would they do if Kubica was to be Leader. If they couldn't show him even in that situation, that would be a farce.

on Monday sent next batch of pills.Hold on and stay calm

[Quad]

Loeb lost time in the same section as Kubica

[KKS]

Loeb seems on full slicks as Kubica
and Meeke with snow tyres

[cosmin_sb]

problem for Loeb?

[Quad]

Kubica took time back at the end

[Sukhoi]

Nah , just slicks

Handbrake failure in Kubica car

[stefanvv]

OK crazy idea, but as a way to stop leaders cruising in the second half of a rally... how about awarding points for stage wins on these, like power stage but just for wins ?

Most likely on the other events won't be the same. Here Latvala is not fighting

[KKS]

Evans +37.9 on 1st. Winter tyres or big problems Seems to be 2nd

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Ostberg slow on split 1 ...

[KKS]

2studds/2SS cross for Meeke

[KKS]

Evans maybe will passed by Neuville too

[dimviii]

Michelin have confirmed who has what for Saturday afternoon’s loop: Loeb: 4 soft + 2 snow. Evans/Meeke: 2 soft + 2 studded + 2 Super soft. Solberg/Ostberg: 4 soft + 2 studded. Ogier/Latvala/Mikkelsen: 4 soft + 2 snow. Tanak/Neuville: 4 Super soft + 2 studded. Sordo: 4 soft + 2 snow

[Fast Eddie WRC]

At this rate the two awful Hyundai's are going to be best of the rest... ridiculous.

[KKS]

really trouble for Loeb ...

[Eli]

:(

[stefanvv]

Evans maybe will passed by Neuville too

are You serious?

[KKS]

are You serious?

by splits Neuville AHEAD already!

[jonkka]

are You serious?

Just watch... already some 20 secs past him

[Sukhoi]

Anyone could provide some insight about starting order for tomorrow? it will be same as today?

[cosmin_sb]

Neuville look to be fast on split 4th

[N.O.T]

Crazy stage... Ogier just 10 secs faster than Loeb in the end....

[KKS]

Looks like Sordo 2snow/2S and he faster then Meeke. Probably win a stage

[N.O.T]

reversed of what it is today.

[René]

Loeb with slick on ice, to see how it was....... Now he know !

[jonkka]

Sorry...

Rally2 included ?

[Sukhoi]

Rally2 crews included ?

edit: Sorry for double post

[KKS]

Crazy stage... Ogier just 10 secs faster than Loeb in the end....

he had a moment too

[N.O.T]

no

[Franky]

Tänak catching Henning soon

[N.O.T]

he had a moment too

no he had not.... at least its what he said.

SS12: OGIER
"It's a beautiful stage, but in these conditions my studded tyres were the safe option." Did you have a moment? "No. That’s wrong".

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Engine problem for Mads !

[KKS]

grrr Citroen running their engine CPU under Windows OS :(

[Bartek]

Engine problem for Mads !


Engine or not he is slow...

[Ucci]

Interesting situation - just 4 km snow&ice and everythnig is mixed.....nice !

[EightGear]

Engine or not he is slow...

He was stopped in the stage to fix it.

[KKS]

no he had not.... at least its what he said.

SS12: OGIER
"It's a beautiful stage, but in these conditions my studded tyres were the safe option." Did you have a moment? "No. That’s wrong".
SS5 1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien
We tried to make some cuts and put some snow on the road for the cars behind, we try to make an advantage. I did some small mistake but not so bad.



PS Ogier have problem as putin - he lies!

[JHvP]

Interesting, Sordo on the same tyres as Loeb, but did not lost time on split 4.

[Bartek]

He was stopped in the stage to fix it.

I'm not talking about only this stage...

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Everyone but the VW's have either been off or had technical issues, and the slow Hyundai's are just cruiseing to good points.

[txl]

What do you mean?

Sordo with 2snow tyres, Loeb - 4 slicks

OSTBERG
"We have a big engine problem. We drove a few kilometres with three cylinders, and we had to stop completely to reset it. I don't know exactly what it is."

The fight may be out of wrc2 on monte. Martin koci starts sisteron'a 36km with a broken driveshaft. Losing 5secs per km so far (12km in)

[KKS]

What do you mean?

That Ostberg must stop at stage and reboot his DS3 WRC

[cosmin_sb]

what happen with Evans?

[N.O.T]

what happen with Evans?

Monte... thats what happened.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

The Hyundai's are playing the long game, just waiting for everyone else to crash or break down...

[bluuford]

Henning and Ott are doing rallycross..

[Fast Eddie WRC]

what happen with Evans?

He drops 2m29s because of his damaged suspension. The left rear corner is held together by ratchet straps. "Extremely slow, we lost a load of time," he says. "I've got a lot more work to do to get the car back to Monaco, but I reckon we'll do it."

[KKS]

I didn't hear... Sordo use 2studds/2soft?

[cosmin_sb]

slowly slowly but the Hyundai boys are on 5th and 6th in the standing

[mousti]

(5 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): Extremely slow, we lost a load of time. I've got a lot more work to do to get the car back to Monaco, but I reckon we'll do it. We are here that is the main thing.

[EightGear]

The Hyundai's are playing the long game, just waiting for everyone else to crash or break down...

Can you blame them? Neuville has never made it past stage 4 on the Monte and Sordo has never exactly set the world on fire.

After all it's the Monte, and now they're in P5 and 6.

All this talk about Hyundai being slow is exaggerated I feel.

[tommeke_B]

The Hyundai's are playing the long game, just waiting for everyone else to crash or break down...

Looks like their approach could pay off somehow... Neuville in 5th, it's not that bad regarding he didn't show much speed so far. Except for the last stage he didn't show better than a 6th stage-time..

[Quad]

I didn't hear... Sordo use 2studds/2soft?

Everyone 2 studs/snow + 2 soft except Kubica and Loeb who were on all softs

[Fast Eddie WRC]

slowly slowly but the Hyundai boys are on 5th and 6th in the standing

And 4th place Ostberg's car has engine problems ...

[Ucci]

Everyone 2 studs/snow + 2 soft except Kubica and Loeb who were on all softs

That means Kubica is really a hero??

I know, but just survival-mode wont win any fans.

[EightGear]

I know, but just survival-mode wont win any fans.

True, but for the Monte probably the right approach.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

True, but for the Monte probably the right approach.

I suppose so after their 2014 rally... :D

[N.O.T]

I know, but just survival-mode wont win any fans.

It will not get them any fans who are retarded enough to think that Monte is about flat out driving...

if they keep the same attitude on the following events then we can start blaming.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Stage win for Meeke, well done Kris ! :)

[KKS]

Protasov ))))))
snow cond: soft+snow
dry cond: studds+snow
:D

[KKS]

Kremer have a chanse to be 2nd in WRC2

[Fast Eddie WRC]

It will not get them any fans who are retarded enough to think that Monte is about flat out driving...

if they keep the same attitude on the following events then we can start blaming.

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

[A FONDO]

He drops 2m29s because of his damaged suspension. The left rear corner is held together by ratchet straps. "Extremely slow, we lost a load of time," he says. "I've got a lot more work to do to get the car back to Monaco, but I reckon we'll do it."

Yet he lost only 29 seconds to Prokop, on 37km stage

[tommeke_B]

I know, but just survival-mode wont win any fans.

What did Kubica's fans bring him?
