Nasser after ss8
(42 - Al-Attiyah Nasser / Baumel Matthieu): We changed what we needed for the afternoon and the tyres are working. It is a difficult rally. We will try to get through all the stages.
Okay Paddon really is having the pace this weekend.
Its up to Paddon now - Ogier now to 2nd...
Been a great day for him anyway , hope he keeps the lead.
JML has blown his chance I think.
Crazy day.
I got stucked on SS5 because silly organizers didn't stop cars arriving from a very narrow street in the middle of nowhere. The result was that people could no go ahead or back and they just let their cars in the middle of the road so that my car and all the cars of media guys and other spectators that arrived before was literally stucked.
We manage to go out by calling ALL the people that stopped the road.
Then, going from SS5 to SS7 I just met casually Mikkelsen on the road. He was stopped because he had gearshift problem in normal street (at least it is what people said). I took a picture but didn't bother him too much, just said hello :)

Lappi
"I hit some rocks, broke the steering arm and then went across the road and hit some more. We fixed it. It was not so bad. My mistake though. All that's missing is a front drive-shaft - that's somewhere on the stage. We have only rear-wheel drive now."
(42 - Al-Attiyah Nasser / Baumel Matthieu): It was not easy but we tried and we kept improving all afternoon. It is still a long rally and a difficult one. We will try not to make mistakes. Here I was not pushing but before I was. We are at the limit with the tyres now.
Camilli stopped
Ucci took 15 sec from Nasser.
Kopecky 1:40 Penalty ?!
What a great pace by Andreucci by the way. Stages of today are not those one of the Italian champioship but it must be said that Sardinia has always been a round until 2014.
By the way it's a pity he is 50 and he has never tried an WRC career...
I think that this is so normal for Latvala that nobody is surprised and have nothing more to say :-P Lappi made a real "favour" to Skoda team. All SKodas were more or less affected...Quote:

Unfortunately we must abandon after going off road. The car is not damaged but we are stuck in the bushes. I am very disappointed, our sensations were improving ...

But Hayden is through although with some problems with the car. Hopefully he'll do it to the service! It's not far.
(20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): We were a little lucky, something is broken or a flat tyre on the rear right. A corner threw us into a bank so we took it easy from there. Tomorrow stages are stages that Ogier and Latvala know well.
So let us close the book for this time. Ogier wins and nothing more to say. Iīm leaving I think...
Waiting for NORF.
Nasser crashed...
he has a 7 sec slower 1st split from Protasov,at 2nd split almost equal,3rd no time due to crash.Quote:

He didnīt loose much. One of the dissapointing performances in rallying this year.Quote:

I wonder if it will be wise to put him in a WRC car for a few events already this year. Looks like he isn't ready yet.Quote:

edit time mistake
Which genius made the decision to run 1,5 km long spectator stage at 6:57 a.m.? :eek:
He was great in FWD cars, but showed nothing in 4WD so far. Let's see Ypres, he should be familiar with those kind of stages.Quote:
