If Aava didn't have a problem on SS8 where he lost 3:03, then he would be fourth, only 30 secs off the lead!
We have a new star on our hands!

Starting order is made before the last sss, then they were 2nd and 4th.Quote:

Interesting about Sordo on WWR.
If you didn't hear, then Sordo has two bad tyres i.e. punctures. He is driving to the next stage on a semi-flat tyre, changing it to a slightly more inflated tyre just before the stage, driving the stage with the flat tyre, then at the end, he has to use a slightly-inflated tyre to do the 60km back to service!
If at any point on a road section he has 3 tyres and a rim, then he has a 10 minute time penalty!
Exciting, no !
Yes, because you not allowed to run on three wheels only. It's not question of Police this year, but rules so far.Quote:

Of course. I think this is another explanation of way how Loeb do his own tactics, he 'sell' stage 11 to save tyres and have possibility to run faster on two remainings. Simply clever (not Skoda, which mean 'shame' in our language also) ;)Quote:

Not really. You want that the new Subaru gets a great result by the others bad luck, or because it is a competitive car? Even M.Wilson got nice result in some other rally...but still not competitive enough.Quote:

It seems Sordo decided to take the 10 minute penalty.
No Sordo at start ??? :confused:
Aava very slow :(
Painful rally...
Even if Loeb got it right, Petter is faster in this loop of stages :up:
Henning?
Timing is shot, Henning leads
what a drama.....
Is it just me, or is Sordo being stupid?? Wans't it better not to finish this stage and loose 5 minutes than to finish more than 6m30 behind??
Edit: Afterall it's 4 and a half minutes.. Problems in wrc.com times..
A farce, almost...
Ridiculous i would say.Quote:

My dad just ssm-ed me that he saw Sordo passing on SS13 (in real life).
If you retire on the last stage of the day then you get 10 minutes penalty. They changed the rule after Loeb got second place in Monte 06 even when he had retired on the last stage of day 1.
It's 10min on the final stage on a leg so your the stupid one LOL ;)Quote:
