Nice!!!
4.9 faster! :D
Yesyesyes, Viva la Härmä.
Bravo Mikko!!!Keep up like that!!!!!
Well, We expect proper rainstorm overnight. So, it will be good to be first on the road tomorrow.
Perhaps Loeb is trying to pass behind Hirvonen for tomorrow not sweeping :confused:
Looks excellent
Mikko 17 secs slower than on the first run. Rutted road or fog?
Bravo Mikko keep the good work!
This title is yours... :)
btw where is Ostberg?
Yes....
It's more slippery than the first run.Quote:

Petter seems faster than Sordo as well...!
Slippery stage. I'm guessing it's a very hard based road and the morning run cleared all loose stuff that absorbed the water.Quote:

Loeb is still in control and won't mind Mikko leading tonight.
But a close clean fight is what we all want.
So, the first part of Finland-France battle the Finns lost, Todt is the President of FIA, the old mafia continues! The second part of this battle looks interesting.
Latvala said the spin came after his front left driveshaft broke, and he doesn't know why the driveshaft broke. We'll probably have to wait until after they've reviewed the onboards and the car to find out whether he hit something or not, but I'm guessing he didn't.
Al Qassimi also had his front left driveshaft break on the same stage. So I guess either a rock in a certain place that neither of them noticed, or Ford's driveshafts are a bit dodgy this time..
Nasser stopped
Rautenbach was 28 sec faster than on the first run :-) He should go to cricuit racing :-P
3 min and starting the next stage Sweet Lamb 2...
Whoah, I just noticed -- Loeb was only 1.7sec behind Mikko at the last split, and then lost another 3.2sec before the finish. Did he hit a problem near the end of the stage?
He lost a lot there during the first pass as well...
Huh, you're right. Did anyone hear him say anything about it on Rally Radio after either run?
It was very long split as well, nearly 1/3 of the stageQuote:

i wonder when the citroen team are going to tell P.Solberg to slow down to let Loeb pass.....oh wait....
I don't know if to believe to a 'flat-out' battle or they are actually watching themselves (to have second spot tomorrow ?) ...
When will you count to 10.000 before writing this crap ?Quote:

Seriously, have you ever just counted it out...
"one elephant, two elephants, three eleph..." there we go done. Now think of the terrain these guys are going over and the sustained pressure they do it under.
Sometimes I think we all forget just how friggin awesome these drivers are - even Wilson! - it's just some are more awesome than others.
(text removed because it was wrong)
4sec. in 32 km stage for Hirvonen, and 2.4 sec in just 5 km stage for Loeb...
It must be so nerve-braking for Mikko, as Loeb is playing with times...
You mean 2nd fastest...?Quote:
