DAMN !!!! Time loss again for Latvala !!!! Enormous !!! More than 4 minutes behind Loeb after SS5 :s :s
Send your C.V. to VW, Jari-Mati, M-Sport seems over :rolleyes:
AFAIK JML in VW is one of the options...Quote:

What happen with Ford at the moment??? For this Team this race doesn't look like a Rally but more at the funeral. :(
Hirvonen repairs his car....good job!
Yeah there is something wrong with ur eyes :) Petter 2 sec faster than his bro. :)Quote:

Haha if proof is ever needed that Wilson won't make it it's losing to Kuipers! Although, to give the Dutchman some credit he has shown good pace for a gentleman driver in Germany - much better than any previous round.Quote:

I remeber a few years back the mitsubishi team had to change the cylinder head of one of their cars but i do now remember if they got a penalty or not.
I think we soon are gonna see the Finnish boys kicking the bodywork of Fiesta as Colin did in 2001 Monte Carlo.

seems that meeke slowed down half way through the stage....
good to hear rally radio working well, must be maintained by M-SPORT
and this is only Weijs second rally in a S2000, only done Ypres before and got 3 overal, but the nr2 got a dq so kind a got second in his first time in a s2000
"gentleman driver"? Kuipers is born 23.11.1985Quote:

i think he ment the style of driving not the age....Quote:

Never seen Kuipers in an interview...
Why would VW take JML?Quote:

I think that Juho might have some problems after the off on previous stage because now he is on same pace as Gassner which doesn't comply with first loop at all...Quote:

Presumably because of his S2000 experience on the same stages last yearQuote:

It would depend on what is wrong with the cylinder. If it's a matter of the spark plug that's easy. If it's a coil there's either a simple mechanical fix or a more complicated electronic one to make sure it's firing the plug. If it's a piston ring or bearing that's going to take time or not be possible to fix. I know gearboxes and suspension bits are easy to add and remove, but tearing into a motor?Quote:

Ouch !!!! Not a good time from Campana in SS5 though(almost 2 minutes off Loeb) :s
And in the Netherlands thay only have tarmac rally's
Actually JML is proven WRC winner and clearly the only driver with the pace to match Ogier on the loose, Hanninen might make a good No 2 to JML but Neuville and Weijs have a long way to go to be considered as all-round choices. Both are currently behind Tanak and Haydon Paddon in the ratings imvhoQuote:

And what about Abbring for VW now 3rd overall in the france gravel championschip in a front wheel drive car beating alot of 4wd, and weijs is just as fast
the question remains...are they allowed to fix internal engine block things without a penalty ??Quote:
