okay thanks. nevertheless Virves is doing very good IMO, it takes always very long time for our drivers to get up to speed on tarmac while coming from Estonian gravel only.Quote:

I don't know why Italians keep them in separate classes. The aim of this A/B/C/T/D letters when they were creted by FIA was to allow different vehicles to compete in the SAME class :) The letters only distinguished vehicles made under different possible option within the same class (A, B, C was for engine size, T was for turbocharged and D for diesel engines and all of them had somewhat different weight limits or other modifications to stay ballanced within the same class).Quote:

Anyone knows what happened to Kristensson?
EDIT: Found in Rally3 thread. Broken rear axle.
Andrea Nucita is so dominant in 2WD :D
Completely expected, as former winner of CIR event (with i20 R5) this small Peugeot is a piece of cake 4him....same story with Andreucci....nobody can't hold with such expirienced driver when they move to smaller class.Quote:

One to go.
Congrats Neuville for winning this mini battle, made the most with the two last stages, especially the penultimate one was impressive.
did laststage for wrc was run already? or Canceled?
IMO it looks like the wheel was broken from some hit before. It looks to be off its position in this video for all the time it was visible.Quote:

Good job by Breen with the o/a win, 3 stage wins and always in the top 5. To be expected as the conditions would suit his background in Ireland and he has done the ACI in the past.
what? :DQuote:

Giving his teammate (or at least also Hyundai driver) the victory for the championship points?Quote:

The clerk of the course,
Having received a phone call from Competitor Relations Officer regarding traffic jam on Via Nino Bixio before of TC 8A
Decides: To cancel all the penalties of early and late check-in at TC 8A
@Craig_Breen
win's Rallye Sanremo
Joke of the day :D
The best rally joke ever! :rotflmao:
Breen reclaims Sanremo win after penalty annulled
Breen initially lost victory to Andrea Crugnola due to a late check-in, but a traffic jam has now saved the Irishman...

Not a very good return of former "Toyota driver" Hiroki Arai to Europe. He finished in the 27th position, just 1 second before Andrea Nucita in Peugeot 208 Rally4...
Breen wins and rightly so.
And nothing to do with Hyundai 'team orders' after all. Strange how people immediately jump to that conclusion...
Did the other cars get stuck in the traffic Jam aswell ?
I'm kinda confused. It says they have given everyone ideal time on their time card at 8a, which is service in, so not unusual.
Then how could they have given a penalty in the first place? The only thing that matters is the time card, so if that has the right time on it there is no base for a penalty.
It seems they have been hasty giving penalty's and overshot themself.
typical Italian stuff. hiunday played team game to give crugnola more points (breen is not really competing for the championship). Then people started to argue. so race direction cancelled that team game to cancel all the controversy.Quote:

typical! : )
rumors of 5 rally2 (with crugnola, breen, probably solberg) and 3 wrc from hiunday for next round in Sicilian Targa Florio.
Rallye Elba was held in Italy during the weekend. Good old Luca Pedersoli was first. Good old Luca Rossetti was second :)

Can be an interesting fight between Ucci, Cempedelli, Bulacia-Wilkinson and Scandola.....
Some Italian drivers are like vampires - they never age! Andreucci, Dettori, Manfrinato, Pierangioli, Ricci, Bedini, "Lucky"... They are 40+ - 60 years old and still compete. What's their secret? Good Italian wine? ;)Quote:
