no live stream for the ss?
Just in and caught up with things over the last 6/7 pages. Certainly an interesting day.
Yes it were some good few hours this afternoon. Pity it happens so rarely.
Yes, and in I was Matton on a dark night I would have wondered why I did not accept the deal Petter offered a while back........Quote:

Petter= Mikko with more charisma and crashes, certainly not with more speed though.Quote:

Judging by the article I read on wrc.com recently he doesn't have much of a life, having only had one weekend at home last month.Quote:

Heres hoping Ogier can pull it back. The championship will look a bit of a joke if the 2013 world champ is only winning because Loeb isn't there.
Ill not hold my breath, usually when he gets a 40 second lead the race is over...
I read something like that on other website, he said he is certainly busier this year, quite contradictory to his statement last year when he said he quits rallies because they are so long and he wants to be with his family more often.Quote:

Loeb scared what a laugh!
The man is 40 year old. He has shown what he can do with a car. And even on that age he is still winning. Loeb is maybe not always the fastest on all stages. But he knows when to take risks en when not. He is THE best allround rally driver.
facts is that a semiretired Loeb who has to drive at gravel from Spain 2012 is faster from Ogier straight and square after he manage to setup properly his understeer,and a wrong tyre choice at 1st day.Quote:

Todays weather looks to come a bit more tricky again (specially on the lat stage). Almost calm, some clouds, some sun, possibly some fog temperature between +9 and +15 degrees. and rain possibility increasin as the day continues (afternoon). Rain possibility is bigger on the last stage of the day and nearly no possibility on the first three stages.
Todays stages are the highest of the rally. SS11/13 is held in 1000-1900meters Ss12/14 is held in 1400-2100 meters.
Edit: messed up with stage numbers. now should be more correct

p.s. If I had wanted to act like a loeb-fan I could have said the same things for Ogier in Monte - 1 year absence of WRC drive on long stages; improper setup with the new understeering chassis; bad tyre choice in second loop of first day, wrong timing etc. etc. but I've never used and will never use such miserable arguments!
Why you change my words? Loeb said that at 1st day he had understeer problems.Proove of this is that when he found the right setup was faster.Fact is that when Ogier pushed from Loeb made a mistake.Of course if they ddnt find the right setup is ''their own mistakes''.Of course Loeb has superiority to avoid rocks and drive clean.Thats why he won at Argentina all the last years.Quote:

Feel free to discuss,Ogier fan!

What I see it's not Ogier's fault for off, his car's wheels were just blocked. Loeb was lucky with his off, too fast on that corner
they wouldn t help you.Quote:

I the other words I would call it: misjudged the corner... too fast into the corner, went off and lucky to get back on the road so quickly:-) Drivers always are trying to make things to look a bit different ;-)Quote:

Thought he said he pulled the handbrake to help the car around and the system failed and locked the front wheels, no? Although of course he may still have carried too much speed into the corner.Quote:

Early in the service Ogier talked more about the incident that cost him the lead. “We had a problem with the handbrake, like we had for a long time,” he explained.
“It was a long right-hand tightening corner – a fast one – and the exit was full of mud. I started to understeer a little bit and I wanted to help the car with the handbrake but unfortunately it locked the front and I understeered more. I have no option but to go off the road.”
Volkswagen replaced the complete handbrake and differential lock system in service and are analysing whether or not the system was faulty.
Ogier and Jari-Matti Latvala’s cars are fitted with the same type of system, which is known to be slow at releasing drive to the front wheels when the handbrake is pulled.
The third Polo R of Andreas Mikkelsen is fitted with a new, different system that is faster but unproven in competition.
Despite Ogier's desire to use the new system immediately, the team is unwilling to introduce it until they are happy with its reliability.

Neuville did the same choice. The rest of Ford drivers on hard tyres, same as Citroen.Quote:
