"SS4 - Dani completes stage. Drops to 3rd O/A. Petter still in stage repairing car. #wrc #rallyargentina"
I feel like putting €100 on 100% driver failureQuote:

aren't they well paid, or something bothering them? staying in cheap hotels and bad food? just what is wrong with the engineers? cars are all braking down engines and suspensions?

dont get me wrong, i like petter and jari matti also, thats the reason why i am so angry, they wasting all chances, with the best car this year and that is just.....aaaahhhhhh
Argentinian radio has got an helicopter and they're broadcasting what's happening with Solberg for ten minutes.
He and Patterson get into the car now and start again behind Fuchs.
Sounds like they're packing her in for the day. Super rally tomorrow. We'll, guess I'll go mow the lawn now. Peace!

Now Ford will want the SS6 to be cancelled: Solberg would have 5' superrally penalty less(like in Portugal when three stages were cancelled) :p :
Can't VW jump in from the next rally onwards? It is getting very boring again...
Four drivers into SS5. Same time for Loeb & Sordo in the first and the second ones.
That's unfortunate, but that's Rallying... what really gutts is seeing Mr. Loeb giving more chances than ever to others winning the championship and no one taking advantage of it... Can you remember the last time Seb span three times in a single loop of stages? From the splits it looks like Petter wanted to recover some lost pace in the middle of the stage, maybe that forced the problem he had, you'll never know...
Rally over. What a total f*cking bore.
Problems for Ogier at the end of stage? Puncture or?
What a weird situation... Sordo in a Ford fighting alone against Citroen :p . Who could imagine it in Portugal.
What a weird season :rolleyes: !
Sordo and Neuville faster than Loeb after three splits SS5 :confused:
Sordo will push like he'll for a win. Rally is not overQuote:

Need a good meditation routine to be a Solberg fan.
No way. He will settle for a podium finish, totally unnecessary to risk anything for Ford now.Quote:

It wasn´t a miiror it was the win in Wales 2005. A rally he shouldn´t have wonQuote:

Puncture for Neuville?
Sordo and his driving for other manufacturers shows very clearly that Loebs dominance is mostly caused by his skills and not by Citroën and their "cheating"...Quote:

Everyone (including Loeb) can make a mistake once or twice but not as much as the Ford boys.
Heavy right hand damage for Neuville ... might have rolled
The base for a new choice in Ford is being built this weekend...Quote:

Once again, Thierry Neuville shows performance, but followed by inconsistency(seems to have crashed again) :mark:
So Hirvonen already handing the lead to Seb? Sordo not doing bad though, btw... And I must say I got somewhat impressed about Oliveira's pace in the previous stage... :D (I have to cheer to my mates, at least...)
It's his first year in WRC car on world stages. Mistakes and crashes are rather normal in this career stadium. Give him time.Quote:
