Depends how much he looses to Sordo on the two SSS.Quote:

Any up to date times anywhere at all?
That's questionable as Lappi drove with broken damper.Quote:

So this is a compromise both ways.
You're kidding, right? Sordo was on "slick" tyres on that stage, but that is his problem, Meeke got a deliminated tyre, also his problem. IMO the times are not fair enough.Quote:

An ULTRA lucky day for Neuville !
IMHO they need to come up with a single, consistent rule for how to assign nominal times in cases like these. It doesn't matter if it wrongly penalizes the drivers; that's just bad luck, which is a part of the sport.
What cannot be allowed to continue is the current inconsistent, arbitrary system, which is vulnerable to corruption and favoritism.
The times cannot be fair since they didn't drive the stage ;) Giving them time that jumps 3 drives who drove trough the hard stage is not really fair to those 3 drivers either is it?Quote:

Yes, and not driving the stage is a problem, isn't it?Quote:

The only fair way would be Ogier or Tanak to win this rally:D
I get the feeling this will revised, just like the power-stage rule. It's not good enough and if FIA will look over the situation and implement a new rule that would be nice. Impossible to know if the guys behind Paddon would have been slower/faster than Neuville, therefore I also think it's not fair to give them a slower time.
I´m glad I´m not in Portugal this year.Quote:

Unfortunately I made a small mistake to avoid a big rock on the inside of a corner which sent us wide into the ditch and there was a culvert in the ditch to stop us in our tracks. Really sorry for the team and everyone supporting us. Awaiting clearance from the hospital.

What an eventful day... still a long rally so many things can change, but apart from technical problems, the rally (and a big chance) is Neuville's to lose
I'm a driver, and I could have avoided it, and of course Tanak could have avoided it. He just decided that is OK to go over it.Quote:

Ogier clipped a bank and that broke his steering. Portugal looks to be very tough on cars...
its always nice to see that mentally handicapped people have access to the world wide web nowadays...Quote:

It's enjoyable, isn't it? Try not to loose you internet access, I'll miss you.Quote:

"I've been on the block since this morning, it's always frustrating because we were doing an amazing job until then, we were pretty much in the lead when we opened the road, and that was awesome so far. price to pay: take a lot of risk to try to compensate for the position Everyone had problems because it was very tight It would have just had to survive the day, "continued Ogier.
The day was like a real hecatomb. "This afternoon, only Neuville is out of trouble and Evans is doing a good loop, all the others have been bothered, we will see in the Power Stage, it's sure it will be a bad weekend for us. see the positive: there are chances that we do not open the road during the next test, "concluded the Ford driver.

Update: Hayden's condition this evening is ok. However, due to the severity of the impact, doctors advised him to stay in hospital overnight for observation. He will not re-join the rally on Saturday. We will keep you informed of any updates. @haydenpaddon @sebmarshall

Today if you have the room left on the road to drive around something unplanned then obviously you were not going fast enough to use the whole road that was initially available to you.
Why aren’t you in Portugal driving for a manufacturer team then?Quote:

Side note... I moved from the states to NZ at first. Lived in Auckland for 1.5 years and lost nearly 25 pounds in the first year with the same dietary conditions as the states. Later found out the NZ is fairly conscious about what they put in their food and vegetables. No pesticides and all that other American sh!t which screws up your hormones lol.
What I am saying is... if you want to lose weight and become a rally driver like Jparker who can avoid rocks better than Tanak in a WR Car then move to NZ.
