PENALTY FOR MEEKE
The timing system shows a 10 second penalty for arriving one minute late at the time control before SS9.
Crazy to lose time like this when the battles are so close. :(

Yes, looked at Twitter now. It was at Facebook, maybe some older message.
Ogier is a winner acting like a looser. Really, if there were an ignore feature to avoid reading or hearding his pathetic comments I would use it.
Paddon & Mikkelsen both retired - both cars too badly damaged for Rally2.
Something different...

We always knew @ElfynEvans was a genius! This is how he fixed his broken suspension for SS5-10!

No, in motorsport contracts don't mean anything; more U-turn clausules on it than what the deal actually stands for.Quote:

Although I hope he will beat Ogier this weekend.
The first official/allowed spectating spot is at 5.5 km, the parts before that are forbidden because the landowners don´t want crowd there (no spectating spots made in that section).Quote:

i've become quite skeptical of these wrc2 drivers and their ability to adapt successfully to WRC....granted they may look spectacular at the wrc2 level, but then there's that transition to the big league that really separates the adults from the childrenQuote:

maybe another one driver for VW 2 team next year
There is not reason VW not to keep their drivers for next year. Latvala had some weak results, but so can do anyone (well except Ogier atm). This rally was not good for Mikkelsen either. it just happens....Quote:

as much as i'd like to see all the teams expand, i'm not sure of even VW bringing on a 4th driver at this stage
based on the current trend,,,,,3 drivers seems the most as it somewhat impacts the team's budget, logistics, etc.
that comes with improved aero & car dimensions, so it's not bad, cars will be more stable at high speed.Quote:

Btw, Ogier rolled there too - in 2011 tests.

Ogier comes in his wide entry line, and can't go in the lines of the national guys, so will have to live with a looser surface, off course affecting his speed.
But, all tough negative for Ogier, this is great for the rally observer. Because You get a clear picture of two things:
1) The difference in lines between national level rally drivers, and the worlds best rally driver.
2) The "evidence" to prove that Ogier runs his own lines even if the cars in front have done different.
last one was a hard impact.Quote:
