[GigiGalliNo1]

atkinson has stopped on stage.

[jonkka]

They are dropping like flies... funny... :eek:

[J4MIE]

Atkinson off :p :

[Brother John]

Morning everyone :s mokin:

[GigiGalliNo1]

one retirement down one more to go (as I predicted)

[A.F.F.]

Way to go Atkinson. If you don't have at least two offs in one rally, you haven't just tried enough :D

[User]

Two Subaru's out on two stages. Who's next :p

[GigiGalliNo1]

Anyone? no? who's next? :p

[Woodeye]

Looks like Toni is gaining more lead over Kopecky again on this stage.

[GigiGalliNo1]

good to hear that petter is much much happier. car is 70% better then yesterday! :)

[A.F.F.]

Mikko totally lost the podium due wrong tyre choise :mark:

[J4MIE]

Spectators are winning against marshals! :bounce: :D :up:


:p :

[White Sauron]

Gronholm on the move! If Loeb once again loses much, he'll be in danger :p

[A.F.F.]

good to hear that petter is much much happier. car is 70% better then yesterday! :)

That links Petter in to same fight with Garde and Kopecky. Wow.

[pino]

hello pino! hope yu've been well :)

I am fine thanks, just not happy about all these Subaru's off :s

[J4MIE]

Gronholm on the move! If Loeb once again loses much, he'll be in danger :p

Loeb is following the splits with a huge difference - rally was over yesterday morning.

[GigiGalliNo1]

Loeb should win stage, Duval 2nd then marcus

[janneppi]

I am fine thanks, just not happy about all these Subaru's off :s

First Sordo, then Pons, these bleeding Spaniards are ruining my pickems. :(

[White Sauron]

so many years in world rallying, why can't Duval imrove his english????

[pino]

Loeb is following the splits with a huge difference - rally was over yesterday morning.

As usually in most of the events this year :(

[padWRC]

Right Tyres For Bosse!

[Barry_]

marcus needs to have all the rest of stages equaling or doing better than duval...he needs to get as much points as possible

[User]

Again stage win for Duval!

[padWRC]

Duval First And He Want Just To Stay On The Road!

[GigiGalliNo1]

I was wrong, so what that he cannot speak Perfect english. Have you heard J-Mattie? What about Al Q? You going to complain about his?

[User]

Is the SSS live on WRC+?

[jonkka]

Even if Loeb seems to have dominated Rally Deutschland in the past years, it's interesting to note that all of his wins have been with relatively small margins, largest being 37,4 seconds over Duval in 2005 and smallest against Gronholm in 2003, just 3,6 seconds. This year the margin will again be small.

[TMorel]

It's a good job I'm not Duval, I'm far too childish. I'd get in front of Marcus and then on the last control I'd book in late while waiving at the Citroën team management and watching the Fords go past me :)

[A.F.F.]

If we take out the win, we still have lot to see for the last three stages. Mikko out of battle but Petter joined in. Things evolve. :up:

[SubaruNorway]

Don't think Petter vil finish today withthe clutch problem. what kind of service is it today

[Christina]

It's a good job I'm not Duval, I'm far too childish. I'd get in front of Marcus and then on the last control I'd book in late while waiving at the Citroën team management and watching the Fords go past me :)

Tony, you're evil. If i were Francois i'd get in front and stay there, then wave to the citroen guys to show 'em what they got rid of.

I hope we see Frankie again this year.

[J4MIE]

Don't think Petter vil finish today withthe clutch problem. what kind of service is it today

I'd guess a 45 minute service after SS17. Itinerary isn't clear, just shows a regroup but it's 55 minutes :s

[padWRC]

Stage wins until now:

5 S. LOEB
4 F. DUVAL
3 M. HIRVONEN
3 C ATKINSON
1 M. GRONHOLM

[GigiGalliNo1]

10 mins till stage start... Live video footage anyone?

[GigiGalliNo1]

hav the forum members gone to lunch or soemthing? stage ahem is... live..

[jonkka]

Yes, it appears so

[GigiGalliNo1]

and no splits... toni is 5th... solberg problems.

[SubaruNorway]

Thinks i heard they said a 10min service but if thats a flexiservice with only two mechanics i doubt they will be able to change the clutch within time, haven't seen any live coverage anywere.

[GigiGalliNo1]

splits are now up :)

[SubaruNorway]

Doesen't look like Petter has a problem with the clutch though

[User]

Another stage win for Duval :D

[GigiGalliNo1]

well done dudu! woooh a break now

[SubaruNorway]

Why did Loeb start infront of the Fords

[J4MIE]

Thinks i heard they said a 10min service but if thats a flexiservice with only two mechanics i doubt they will be able to change the clutch within time, haven't seen any live coverage anywere.

Flexi-service is normal at end of legs. You mean a remote service but there isn't a remote service in this event.

[J4MIE]

well done dudu! woooh a break now

A break? Are you serious? :\

[Brother John]

Why did Loeb start infront of the Fords

I think they start on diffrent places ore what?

[Fischer]

Thanks to Duval this has been the best rally for me in 2007.

[SubaruNorway]

[quote="J4MIE"]Flexi-service is normal at end of legs. You mean a remote service but there isn't a remote service in this event.[/QUO

Meant remote, ques it's normal 30 min since the next stage starts in almost two hours

[J4MIE]

Take a look at the itinerary for leg 3 and you'll see that there isn't a service mentioned during the day - just a long regroup. But I think it's wrong as they are in Trier for the SSS anyway.

http://www.rallye-deutschland.de/v2/images/media/itinerary_germany_v3_547440535.pdf

[SubaruNorway]

How long did they say the service was?

[Buzz Lightyear]

It's a good job I'm not Duval, I'm far too childish. I'd get in front of Marcus and then on the last control I'd book in late while waiving at the Citroën team management and watching the Fords go past me :)

I would get infront of Marcus... then ask Citroen to pick up the price of the rally... then book in late. :)

[Brother John]

How long did they say the service was?

Dhrontal (11.14 km) for 13u24 and Moselwein (18.08 km) for 13u52

Take time for your lunch. :s mokin:

[jonas_mcrae]

great to see duval is still in shape, really looking forward to see him in the sx4 on tarmac!

[SubaruNorway]

Dhrontal (11.14 km) for 13u24 and Moselwein (18.08 km) for 13u52


I know, normal service then i gues?

[janneppi]

Dhrontal (11.14 km) for 13u24 and Moselwein (18.08 km) for 13u52

Take time for your lunch. :s mokin:
Enough time also to watch the 250cc bike race from somewhere. :)

[Maui J.]

Just watched this video on YouTube http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=RjPqJnNJLJM

Interested to see the Group B cars in the mix. Can someone explain.
Looks like a great corner to watch the action.

[SubaruNorway]

10min service so they will have some time penalty, but he will stay in 7 if they do it under 23 min

[J4MIE]

Interested to see the Group B cars in the mix. Can someone explain.
Looks like a great corner to watch the action.

They are from Slowly Sideways - a demonstration run follows some stages yesterday. Not competitive (or that's what they say anyway ;) ).

[MartijnS]

We are back home again. It was a great rally to watch, nice shakedown and 4 stages on Friday and yesterday also 4! :D

Some pics, the others will be online this afternoon or tonight.
Sometimes you have to improvize without a media jacket, but it went ok ;)

Did you listen to the clutch change they did it in 11 min as they only got 10sek penalty

[J4MIE]

Good photos Martijn :up:

[J4MIE]

Did you listen to the clutch change they did it in 11 min as they only got 10sek penalty

Clutch and gearbox, brilliant! Would've done it without a penalty if they didn't have the problem with the started though :up:

They are amazing shots!!!

J4MIE well i got off an hour ago... and back on... but stage starts in about 45 mins.... so another break :p

[MikeD]

So what do you all think. Can Duval get 9.4 seconds on Marcus on the last two stages?

[White Sauron]

So what do you all think. Can Duval get 9.4 seconds on Marcus on the last two stages?

I suspect no. Gronholm will control the gap as he did on the last wo stages.

[N.O.T]

I think that Duval cannot catch gronholm...but driving 2 stages on the limit is not an easy job for both...so either one will make a mistake or the situation remains as it is.

[Buzz Lightyear]

Enough time also to watch the 250cc bike race from somewhere. :)
Mika Kallio 3rd for Finland, will Marcus be 3rd also ?!

[J4MIE]

J4MIE well i got off an hour ago... and back on... but stage starts in about 45 mins.... so another break :p

Ah I thought you meant a break for Duval... but it was only 0.5 seconds :p :

[SubaruNorway]

Here is pictures from Petter's service http://www.vgb.no/20075/ 20sec late for time controle, so close.

no whatch the pictures, i was just wondering if it was a remote service earlier, actualy there wasen't supposed to be a service today.

http://www.vgb.no/20075/perma/234504
"NY REKORD! Dette er det raskeste girkasse-bytte med clutsj vi noensinne gjort! 10 min! Her er gjengen som gjorde det!"

"New record! This is the fastetst gearbox-change with clutch we have ever done! 10min! Here is the crew who did it!"

[Brother John]

Grönholm had a small off in the shakedown Germany!!!
If he do this in last 2 stages he is loosing second place!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkOoseXPyGs

[Rally Hokkaido]

Though they only had two mechanics :confused:

Remote service rules= max two mechanics & limitation on tools & equipment that can be used

[User]

Grönholm had a small off in the shakedown Germany!!!

[harriswrc]

Dudu closes to Bosse! Fight!

[N.O.T]

Gronholm +1.1 from duval.....on 1st split.

[MikeD]

I don't think Gardemeister spun - I think it's a puncture.

[GigiGalliNo1]

fight fight fight fight fight!

dudu dudududududududududu :p

[Integrale]

Garde had a puncture, no spin. I hope Duval is telling the truth when he says he's cruising through the day.. :D

[User]

Loeb starts to cruise.

[GigiGalliNo1]

gronholm and loeb slower then loeb

[MikeD]

Duval fastest on both 1st and 2nd split

[N.O.T]

[Addicted]

[White Sauron]

[Miika]

So you really want to see Loeb winning another title?

[User]

The next stage is 18km long! It will be close, verry close.

[GigiGalliNo1]

strange :D

hahahahaha woopSi! just this rally its soo exciting!! :D haha

[User]

So you really want to see Loeb winning another title?
No for Duval to take second :D

[N.O.T]

ok...5.6 seconds and 1 stage remaining.....

[J4MIE]

Splits start on next stage so no more for SS17 :angryfire

[Addicted]

Will be interesting to see what Bosse does on last one.

[kleisj]

Well Dudu on a mission !!! But I dont think will take the time from Gron. 18.7 kms to end though....!!

[m.lowe]

So you really want to see Loeb winning another title?

Of course why wouldnt we? Loeb is GOD

[GigiGalliNo1]

Yes Bosse, a lil spin.... dun forget one more retirement is needed before days end! I said there will be two and Atkinson was one already! :p

[N.O.T]

Gronholm has to push.....

[jonkka]

Will be interesting to see what Bosse does on last one.

On first run, difference between Duval and Bosse was mere 0.1secs.

[White Sauron]

Solberg got 10-sec penalty?

[jonkka]

Yes Bosse, a lil spin.... dun forget one more retirement is needed before days end! I said there will be two and Atkinson was one already! :p

Pons is your second DNF.

[harriswrc]

On first run, difference between Duval and Bosse was mere 0.1secs.But now is the last run and everything can happen!

[GigiGalliNo1]

i said it the stage that Atkinson retired... just before the start! If i can add that? :p

[MikeD]

Got MotoGP on the TV and WRC on the Radio. Hard to keep focus :)

Come on Stoner, give the circus clovn yet another blow!

[Mise]

Yes Bosse, a lil spin.... dun forget one more retirement is needed before days end! I said there will be two and Atkinson was one already! :p

Bons + Atko= 2 retirements

[GigiGalliNo1]

Got MotoGP on the TV and WRC on the Radio. Hard to keep focus :)

Come on Stoner, give the circus clovn yet another blow!

get outta here! :p

[GigiGalliNo1]

Bons + Atko= 2 retirements

Ok thanks!! :p

[consti]

Pons + Atko= 2 retirements

but if there would be another off, then slowson would be in the points ;)

[Mise]

Pons is your second DNF.

Not only was I late, but misspelled it too. :mad:

[GigiGalliNo1]

but if there would be another off, then slowson would be in the points ;)

Dont thnk anyone would want that! ;P

SS18

1. 1 S. LOEB 3:16:46.2
2. 3 M. GRÖNHOLM 3:17:09.5
3. 6 F. DUVAL 3:17:15.1
4. 4 M. HIRVONEN 3:17:59.4

[Koz]

Just 23 seconds... Can Marcus make it up in one stage?? :D

[Koz]

Or for that matter can Dudu overtake Marcus??

[MikeD]

but if there would be another off, then slowson would be in the points ;)

Did you notice that Becks (on WRC Radio) called him Wilslow by mistake yesterday :D

[Brother John]

Duval have driven here 0.341sec /km more rapidly than Gronholm! He apprehends this on the next test then he will become Second ! Because 18.08 km to 0.341 sec/km is 6.16 sec more rapidly and then he is second

[kleisj]

Rally radio sais splits are off for moment. So Gron needs to go flat to be sure. Will not have info in the car.

[GigiGalliNo1]

Did you notice that Becks (on WRC Radio) called him Wilslow by mistake yesterday :D

haha really?!??! hahahahaah :D

[jonkka]

but if there would be another off, then slowson would be in the points ;)

It's like Finland's presidential elections in early 1990's, more people were interested in of seeing Väyrynen not to be elected than whoever else would be instead. It's more important to have Wilson out of points than caring who else will be there. :)

[GigiGalliNo1]

splits work :)

http://www.zone.ee/wrcmasters/analyzer.php?rally=10&stage=19&results=1&jwrc=

[User]

Complete internet failure in the service park. So no splits in the cars!

[jonas_mcrae]

this is great for at last a fight till the last stage I like it good for duval, but if at the end of the champiosnhip Marcus looses by 2 points im going to be really pissed!

[Miika]

So we have the splits but the teams don´t? That´s how it should be IMO

[MikeD]

haha really?!??! hahahahaah :D

Yeah :D She must be reading in this forum.

[jonkka]

Complete internet failure in the service park. So no splits in the cars!

All they need is a laptop + GRPS or someone elsewhere to SMS splits for them.

[J4MIE]

Rally radio sais splits are off for moment. So Gron needs to go flat to be sure. Will not have info in the car.

I'm sure Ford can be on the phone to someone with a connection a redirect splits as usual....

[User]

Thats what they say on rallyradio.

[User]

Duval on the stage!

[A.F.F.]

Aaaahhhhh. Just in time to see the finish :bounce:

[MikeD]

What will happen in case Gronholm and Duval ends the rally with identical time? Will Duval get second due to more stage wins?

[GigiGalliNo1]

hahahhaa how we rely on teknology soo much! :p

[jonkka]

What will happen in case Gronholm and Duval ends the rally with identical time? Will Duval get second due to more stage wins?

Time on first stage is tiebreaker. Duval would get 2nd.

[Koz]

I havent been this excited for a long long time! :D :D
Great show we will see on the split times!

[J4MIE]

What will happen in case Gronholm and Duval ends the rally with identical time? Will Duval get second due to more stage wins?

Not 100% about WRC but usually goes by fastest first - ie who was faster on first stage.

[GigiGalliNo1]

HEY BECS!!!!! :p

[GigiGalliNo1]

splits are working on estionian website!

duval fastest on 1st split!

[harriswrc]

Not 100% about WRC but usually goes by fastest first - ie who was faster on first stage.Duval was faster on 1st stage.

[GigiGalliNo1]

mikko slower then duval....

[MikeD]

Duval fastest on first split 3.42.7

[J4MIE]

Garde not too happy :D

[jonas_mcrae]

[GigiGalliNo1]

[MikeD]

Duvl fastest on second split 6.11.5

[J4MIE]

Hope Marcus' split appears soon :s

[jonas_mcrae]

no first split for marcus!

[Koz]

No split from Marcus is everything OK?

[N.O.T]

No 1st split for Gronholm

[User]

No splits for marcus!

[harriswrc]

Gronholm's split missing...

[MikeD]

Gronholm is off!!!!!

[Christina]

Marcus off?!

[J4MIE]

Marcus off?!!!!!! :eek:

[SubaruNorway]

[kleisj]

Marcus is off......!!! nooooo

[GigiGalliNo1]

marcus spun!

[Miika]

Oh f#cking hell.

[bt52b]

Bosse off?

[jonas_mcrae]

maybe they dont want to share that information...

[N.O.T]

Loeb fastest....Duval probably wants to secure 3rd

[MikeD]

It's a big OFFF for Gronhom. Yesssss

[White Sauron]

oh damn... Poor old Bosse...

[GigiGalliNo1]

I Told Yu Another Retirement!! Haha

[MartijnS]

OMG! Marcus has gone off, no spin, but a crash!

[Luckin]

Oh, s***. That is not good at all for the championship!

[jonas_mcrae]

oh no!

[J4MIE]

:bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry:

[User]

+30 seconds. Duval is second!

[SubaruNorway]

gezz what a drama

[MikeD]

It's a big OFFF for Gronhom.

[GigiGalliNo1]

29.9!!!!! I said another retirement but its a spin/stop/off!! eeeek!

[SubaruNorway]

29 behind

[J4MIE]

He is still going, lost 30 seconds.

Could've been worse :s

[Koz]

WHAT?!


NOOOO!
What happened to Marcus??!

[jonas_mcrae]

hope he makes it to the end

[N.O.T]

Bosse did it.....well done dudu !!!!!!!!

I Hope that Groonholm can at least continue

[Addicted]

Welldone Duval! Great second place for him

[Miika]

Congrats to Seb for another title.

[Integrale]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Unbelievable drive by Duval, brilliant, just brilliant.

[A.F.F.]

It's a big OFFF for Gronhom. Yesssss

:rolleyes:

Anyways... Marcus continues.

[GigiGalliNo1]

congrats DUDU! it should be "DuDuNo1" :p

[spudrsca]

Loeb can pay beers to Duval after the rally, it's 2 points stolen to Grönholm.

[MikeD]

WOW what a cher from the crowd when the news arrived. Yes yes yes

[Miika]

FFS a minute already.

[J4MIE]

If he gets to the end then I guess Mikko will have to check in late....

Come on Marcus :|

[jonas_mcrae]

+1min for marcus

[GigiGalliNo1]

gronholm makes end of stage! interview

[Koz]

Wow... I was expecting so much more (or maybe its less)...
But Marcus was trying too hard maybe.

Congrats to Duval very nice. Would have awesome to see him being faster without the spin/off from Marcus though!

[janneppi]

No voi perse

[User]

Marcus cracked! No way he makes it back to service.

[jonas_mcrae]

he still gets third?'

[GigiGalliNo1]

ouch! no back wheer, oil gone. might not make it to the service on 3 wheels!

[A.F.F.]

Marcus had a big impact. :(

Come on, nurse that Focus to the service.

[Christina]

Oh! I am err, so 'appi for Frankie! it is sad for Marcus, but he can make it up. the same thing could happen to Seb on another rally.. But this is great for Francois.

[N.O.T]

its a massacre !!!!!!

[MikeD]

6 times in a row for Loeb. Yeahhhhhh baby. impressive!

[A.F.F.]

Every Finn lost their battles today :mark: Yieppee.

[MJW]

F**ing sh*t rally.

[GigiGalliNo1]

"i think i have to say thinkyou to mister francois duval"

[Koz]

gronholm makes end of stage! interview

What did he say?

[Viktory]

He will be DQ if only 3 wheels :(

[RS]

I'm happy about that. :up:

Hey AFF, me too, much as I like Toni, 5th place for our boy :)

BTW, just ordered a new Skoda :)

[J4MIE]

ouch! no back wheer, oil gone. might not make it to the service on 3 wheels!

He still has the wheel....for now.

Loeb said he saw some big marks in a 6th gear bit :s

[N.O.T]

Loeb won a magnifiscent rally...the best of season so far !!!!!

Now we must wait for Gronholm.......can he do it ????

[bt52b]

Shame Bosse did a good rally, shoulda took 3rd at worst.

[GigiGalliNo1]

it was a great rally...... who won? i don;t care! look who came 2nd! the competition between kopecky and garde mikko-solberg-dudu and gronholm! :D that was a rally! no such excitement in soooo long!!!!!

[N.O.T]

Gronholm has all wheels on.....but the back suspension is crap....we must wait

[GigiGalliNo1]

no interview :( sorry! i was ready to type it :D

[consti]

What did he say?

i think he has no time to say a thing, he has to check out if he can repair the car....

[SubaruNorway]

30km into service!

[J4MIE]

Yes Follow Him Col!!!! :\

[A.F.F.]

Congrats to Sebastien who totally mastered this rally.

Also, amazing rally for Duval :up:

And Kopecky who pushed Fabia like hell :hot:






Now come Marcus, please make to service, pliiiiiiide!

[kleisj]

30 kms for the service.....! Maybe he is gonna have to stop ......

[MikeD]

And Rossi is getting his ass kicked big time at Brno. It's double bonus this Sunday.

Marcus stopped not far away from Colin on stage..... he might have a look/interview! Great Rally guys! :D There's still more action even after the rally finishes! haha

[janneppi]

He'll use the spare tyre and might rotate other tyres to keep the car road legal.

RESULTS only if Gronholm Makes it to SERVICE!

[Koz]

Why does he have to repair the car? It was the last stage...

[GigiGalliNo1]

means if gronholm dq, he gets a time penalty? or no results? then Kopecky 4th! :D

[User]

He must make it back to service! Or else, he will be DQF

[N.O.T]

Germany has a new King......6 in a row and not a single winner other than the frenchman since the rally was included in WRC !!!!

THE KING OF KINGS

[consti]

Why does he have to repair the car? It was the last stage...

he is not allowed to drive on the roads with three wheels and if the suspension is just as bad as they say, maybe he will loose one wheel

[MikeD]

Collin said that Hirvonen picked up a time penalty on the last stage. Anybody know why?

[Finni]

I must say I wonder what those guys are thinking with throwing out uninformed ideas "Big off" "Marcus has no back wheels" etc.

[Koz]

Will Ford tell Mikko to be late so marcus gets higher spot?

[J4MIE]

Why does he have to repair the car? It was the last stage...

He has to get back to the finish of the rally.

If he doesn't, he will get a 5 minute penalty for the last stage, so he might be 7th/8th. Wilson won't get a point!! :up:

[GigiGalliNo1]

then kopeky 3rd if gronholm and mikko large penalties?
