Blame MW ??? What has he done wrong?

He has made JML the No1 Ford driver, so JML has to take all the responsibility and I assume he is doing so.

wrc.com is owned by NOS, so don't be surprised there is nothing about monte

"Obviously, that's balanced by Giandomenico's accident. It seems the sun got in his eyes and blinded him coming into a sixth-gear corner. In fairness, he was extremely lucky the wall was there, there was a 1,000-foot drop on the other side of the wall."

Ok as I type this I went deeper into the site and into the events for 2012 and there is no results up there either. I understand this is probably to do with the pre rally turmoil on the timing issues but it doesnt take 40 pages of results and split times for someone in wrc.com to write just a simple article for the front of the site outlining who is in the top 10 etc after day one.

Even most local national rallies will make a better attempt at getting results/info online at the end of a days competition.

Further evidence not that I needed it about the current disaster that it is the promotion of the the world top level rally championship.

The people working on the site are fired, easy as that.

Nice photos.

Expect that Novikov and Hirvonen from first 7 will retire until the end of rally.

Power Stage was created to be "Live TV stage" and the most important rally of the whole season do not have live broadcast :(

The end of SuperRally is good but only if happens to all events.

Ah is she the only one entered? And even then she could not get it, she already said that she doesn't know for sure if she can do all rallies what maybe will get her DQ'ed. But anyways beside that title it will gain her nothing for her future entering PWRC 2WD

Merksteijn didn't make it to service, he's out

now Latvala 0 points.... and Loeb has the upper hand way too early with some pressure off his back.... of course the rally has a long way but who can bet against Loeb with a 1 minute lead ?

The irony is that before the rally he said that he most likely won't aim for win but for solid points because Loeb is so hard to beat in Monte. I read what Juha_Koo wrote but I still think that excellent times for stage 2 and 3 made him a little bit less cautious :mark:

But you're perfectly right N.O.T. Beating Loeb needs ultimate speed, consistence and strategy.
