If you look at the splits Petter has been on Latvalas pace on most of them, so I think it is closer than it seems :up:Quote:

About rbr, these guys drives for the their entire life since they were young with a lot of experiences, there are no reason they need to play RBR. Even driving on snowy road in real life for me is very different experience. Ofcourse the game really help me articulate my driving, but I think if any of these drivers competing in the WRC depending on a video game.... it's just a very ridiculous and absurd idea, beside this game is very geared toward Richard driving style, which actually isn't my style actually so I sort of struggle with the game. Don't get me wrong I love the game.
Ofcourse Henning Solberg played rbr for the first time on frazer well and made 2:00. And Loeb played Lemans on his PS2 before he went to take 2nd place at Lemans, but that's more to get used to the track layout.
Solberg lost a lot of time in Hirvonen's dust, as he very elegantly put "it is rallying" when there is really no safe place to pass you just suck it up and avoid wrecking the car. Seemingly the new Impreza is better than it's predecessor or more competitive against the Citroens and Fords. I hope Petter does well, 'cause he really deserves a good result after sucking it up and taking it like a man with the Old Boat. OTOH, Atkinson's starter problem is very odd. According to Colin, they did not seem too pressed to fix the damn thing, they didn't even try to jarr the car to have the starter skip a tooth or seven, very odd, I have overloaded starters before but never DNF'd because of one, even in my temperamental Mitsu with odd ball engine managements and Estonian wiring SNAFU.
IMHO no matter how sophisticated or advanced they appear video games are simply games. Things are very different in real life. Want proof, spend a few hundreds of thousands of bucks and go rally, then tell me if you had time to play a game or you would exchange any extra time you can scrape working on the car for sitting in front of your TV with a joystick in your hand,
Does anyone know what the driving order if both S1600 and PWRC is in the same event?
I think PWRC is first.
ok thats good thanks.Quote:

Last thing about RBR, not to be too much of topic. Yes I never tried a real rallycar and I’m sure I will be surprised about the real thing but … then I’m not changing from joystick to a rallywheel. No, now I have a real Logitech G25 Wheel, he, he!!
There is no rule for that. Drivers in both categories are P3 drivers so they are seeded after P1/P2 and before non-seeded but other than that, I think it's up to stewards. On gravel it's safe to assume that PWRC would be seeded first but on tarmac it as well might be other way around.Quote:

JML introubles, but Sorodo is confirming his better pace in gravel, buiding a lead for tomorrow starting first on the road?
No 4th split for Dani?Quote:

is sordo out?
No, his splits just didn't show
looks like slow splits.
No Villagra on the list (he was doing an OK rally running 6 and faster than Wilson, battling with the Suzukis)
Loeb has an other flat tyre ? Sordo is smelling his first WRC win. Especially now that the Ford boys hit trouble.
If Dani will be allowed to win, it would be especially fitting that he would score his maiden win in Acropolis. Does anyone know why?
Loeb is playing smart.. His tires are a lot better than Dani's.. That could be crucial for the next 2 special stages.

Sordo is in, but with tyre-problems for the next stages. Maybe just another smart move from Loeb, slow on this and fast on the next.
Heh, no... Or, rather, I do not know if it's so... :)Quote:

He was doing OK.
Thanks for the complete info to "Vysledky"!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, first hint will come in 60 seconds
Hint please.
Was it announced there that he would replace Pons in Kronos alongside Loeb?Quote:

Hmmm, good guess too but not what I am after. Can't say that your guess is wrong, though.Quote:
