Is maybe not for the benefit of those who start first, but there is less disadvantage of starting first.Quote:

Colin Clark saying the Citroens will start SS2 in half-light whereas the Fords will be in total darkness. Could be a massive advantage there. On the flipside apparently there's very little rain and lots of wind on SS3 and SS4 which should make sweeping effect help the Fords.
If rain mixing with dust/powder on the road I think to be first on the road a disadvantage because this will be cleaned later on - The rain good for Ford IMO
advantage for who?Quote:

8 minutes and all questions should be answered...
semilight is very different from light.In that case semilight is NOT advantage,extra lights dont work good at semilights.Quote:

Since when two wheels in the air are more effective than all four on the ground? :) Sorry, but this photo says nothing about the car. Just by simple laws of physics two wheels can never have same grip as four. It is simply impossible. The goal is to keep all four on the ground...Quote:

Hirvonen already losing a lot....seems that the Fords ave the advantage...
20:26 Hirvonen quote at the end of Stage 2
Mikko Hirvonen completes Stage 2 with a time of 6min 47sec. Hirvonen said: "I didn't have any rhythm, very bad driving from myself."
No dust ...
Sebastien Loeb completes Stage 2, 2.9sec quicker than team-mate Mikko Hirvonen. "I just try to follow the road. I don't see anything of the road," said Loeb
did he said at rally radio why he couldnt see the road? not dark enough?
