The stadium only has a capacity of 65000 (and a bit). Considering the second ring was nearly empty and the first couple of rows in both corners were empty. Also mentioning that the second ring is larger than the first ring. I think the figure is more closely to 10000 than to 50000.

Maybe the 'blue' thing was BF's hot air baloon? :p

maybe...

Hmm, things are going well...

I log onto WRC+ to find no Rally Radio and the live timings still showing SS1. You would think the official site might have made some announcement by now if most of todays stages are going to be cancelled.

I'm a bit bemused about Rally Radio being off for the whole weekend. Surely it can't be that hard to provide at least some sort of coverage? It would have been nice if they'd put something on the WRC+ page (not just the main rally radio page) and actually given some sort of detail.

Oh well, things can only get better over the weekend (I hope.)

Exactly, what a mess!! I hate being negative, BUT this is a complete shambles, it makes the WRC look a joke. Imagine cutting 25 laps from a GP, SORRY but there is no excuse for this. The WRC limps from one problem to the next.

Well I can see Argentina being dropped from the calender next year. Can not believe that they were even allowed to organise the event when it means flying the whole circus around the country.

Lets hope thats the last rally Argentina we see.....the rally is a disgrace for the sport....!!!!! too many incidents over the years, yet no action.
