This is also a good one on Emil B driving a RWD Volvo 940 VOC on gravel. Just look at the flow! Only about 175 hp.

Btw on one stage on friday afternoon loop Bergkvist had to take it easy after a heavy landing in the beginning of the stage. Maybe lost some seconds there.

And if you remember well, this is not the first time that it occured in CoI when it was in IRC I think.

Thankfully, at least following the rally online, there were end of stage times from Rally Radio and some excellent twitter feeds. I also found http://www.rallyscore.net/ wasn't so bad with split times available on all but the short street stages. :)

Rallyscore.net were official results of the rally and it was not working properly, like whole events. This is very big shame which will bring negative affects to the whole ERC...

Last year there were also problems with results. And as I have notices from last edition in IRC, timing was not perfect too.

I have just checked out final results of the national rally. I have to say I'm a little disappointed. Dessie McCartney and his Darrian T90 GTR only managed to finish in the 22nd position, behind many R2 cars and 30-year-old Ford Escorts :(

Do you know anything about Dessie? He isnt a young man, his best days were before any of the top International drivers were born and he just goes out for his own enjoyment now.

To be honest I've never heard of this guy, but looking at his stats yeah he must be an old national hero, very nice to see the great old Terry Harryman who was with him in the early years. It was the years you had to be a real man to cope with the undriveable HP monsters without power steering and two wheel drive at the back. ;)

Jaromír Tarabus today in his press release praised Irish fans who managed to get his car back on the road even though he himself thought it's over.

He also said his off was on the same place as Kajto's and Breen's big moments.

No, I have never heard about him. I read on the Darrian website that they "have a reputation for building competition cars with giant killing performance". That's why I was curious about the results.

Here in this picture you can clearly see the place where Tarabus went off one loop before Breen (displayed) spun there...

What is the set-up with the ERC timings.. is the same company used or does each rally have its own organisation ?

Each rally has its own timekeepers and also results group. On ERC pages they are only receiving data from organiser and putting it into unique design.

Eurosport may have all their professional cameramen with their cameras and all the latest technology, but it's Lotos team that makes the best video from Circuit of Ireland. Instead of crappy videos by Eurosport watch this video that best portrays the atmosfere of Ireland:

Such a shame this atmosphere didn´t become more public. And so many good places to cover on the stages! Thumbs up for Lotos team though!!

Hmm not really sure what you're getting at. That video has used mostly footage shot by the Eurosport cameras. A lot of it made it into the TV coverage. Certainly it's a good video. But it's the same technology. Just edited together differently.

Editing is the art of coverage.

Dessie McCartney was perhaps one of Ireland's best drivers in his day (along with his late brother Ronnie) here with Terry Harryman (again). Picture 1- 1976 Donegal International Picture 2- 1976 Circuit of Ireland, nearly 40 years ago:

Agreed.

Bit harsh to compare something (Eurosport) put together with about 3 hours versus something put together (Lotos Team) with 3 days....

I don't know what you mean too :) What I wanted to say is that Eurosport have their TV crews, cameras and helicopters, but it's one guy from Kajto's team who shows them how a good video is made. No crappy music and random images, but beautifully edited video with nice music that emphasizes the atmosphere of the rally. Plus - how many videos have you seen in your life that show two main rivals in the championship dancing together in embrace to a folky Irish tune? ;) I don't know about you, but I loved it! :)

They were also lucky to hit that gate and not the pillar next to it.

I wonder whey there are no quality non-official videos on youtube like from most of the events. Flying Finn Motorsport videos weren't there?

Flying Finn? Maybe next week. They took 12 days to make the video from West Cork Rally :)
