Only real fight I see is Al Attiyah and Beltran for second place in PWRC, and slowly closing to Aigner
Even that fight may be needless as I heard on radio there might be an issue on road section repairs on Beltran's car, anyone any details of this?Quote:

Quote:
«S.Loeb:Les conditions sont tellement piégeuses, avec la pluie, la boue et la réglementation qui nous impose de rouler en pneus durs, non retaillés, que c'est hyper-dangereux et que ça m'énerve», s'est emporté le quadruple champion du monde, parlant au nom de la plupart de ses collègues. «Il faut rester très concentré pour éviter de faire une faute. Alors on essaye juste de rester sur la route. C'était pire qu'hier et complètement ridicule de rouler dans ces conditions. La réglementation nous interdit de retailler les pneus. On ne prend pas de plaisir et beaucoup de risques pour rien.»
Sébastien Loeb souhaiterait désormais que les pneus soient retaillés avant le départ pour les quatre dernières spéciales de samedi après-midi. «Autoriser un "cut" serait très simple, le même "cut" pour tout le monde, et ça ferait beaucoup pour la sécurité. Or les gars qui prennent les décisions ne sont pas dans les voitures, ils n'en ont rien à foutre, alors que nous on prend des risques. Ce serait bien qu'on s'adresse aussi aux pilotes.»
Justice made? :dozey:Quote:
"Avant le rallye, suite à des essais en Sardaigne, Citroën Sport avait demandé à la Fédération internationale de l'automobile (FIA) la possibilité de retailler les pneus en cas de pluie, ce qui avait été refusé par Ford, consulté par la FIA. Vendredi, les deux Ford Focus officielles sont parties dans le décor, sans toutefois que ce soit lié aux pneus."
you just posted something in french in an english speaking forum.....
Loeb says its dangerous to drive in these conditions with the current tires and they should be allowed to make cuts in them for saftey reasons.
Citroen asked to allow cuts in tires for safety in these conditions and ford rejected. Now maybe ford wishes they didn't.
No, there is no Al Qassimi in ArgentinaQuote:

In the 2º quote, it says that Citroën Sport asked FIA about the possibility to cut the tyres if the rain/hard conditions appears. FIA asked Ford about that, and they refused.
The Fords have suffered a lot with it, especially Latvala( roll..).
Seb, one minute ago, waiting for his turn to start the super special:

1 leg with two SS and one SSS, who will stay and who will go (of the top 5)?
a) Sebastien
b) Petter
c) Chris
d) Daniel
e) Conrad
f) Non
No comments for ages!
So it leaves me to ask : with the time change/daylight saving tonight in GB, what times are the stages tomorrow?
Is it:
SS19 12:13 GMT
SS20 13:05 GMT
SS21 14:50 GMT?
And here's the best image of the day:

And why do you say he is poor??? This is his 5th ever WRC round in a World Car, he's never competed on the event before and although he's a fair way behind Sordo he IS 5th overall!!! :eek: :DQuote:

I had no trouble and I haven't been in France for 15 years, haven't raced there for 30.
The key thing is this:
On ne prend pas de plaisir et beaucoup de risques pour rien.»
One takes no pleasure and lots of risks for nothing.
«Autoriser un "cut" serait très simple, le même "cut" pour tout le monde, et ça ferait beaucoup pour la sécurité.
Authorise one "cut" would be very simple, the same "cut" for everybody, and that would do a lot for the safety".
You know, rather than your complaining, you could simply ask somebody here to help translate it since you yourself can't even TRY.
By at the moment - I mean this season he has crashed a lot.
He is doing well; to finish today is impressive! And 5th is great.
But WILL he get better in the future?
How come it is from Mexico then?Quote:

Just kidding. I'm glad that at least one person is having fun this weekend :o

Hey Finn guys, ask me again if the world's best drivers are in the top 8 :D
I don't know why people are complaining, this rally's no worse than Catalunya last year.
I bet that even if every rally was like NZ '07 we'd have people complaining. Let's face it, not every rally will be a classic.
And it makes me laugh to hear people say that rallies aren't tests of endurance any more - true, they are shorter, but in Argentina this year days one and two are 150+ kms of competitive kilometres each, and that's gotta take it out of you. And the FIA is making the distance longer next year by about 50 km next year, I think.
OK, so I think they should run El Condor again since it's the iconic stage of the rally, but what can you do.
Where's EL MATADOR?!?!?!
:p
Lol, i was thinking about the the talk few days ago too, luckly theese kind of freak events happens not often :)Quote:
