I'm not too happy about Sohlberg's pace :down: The first loop yesterday was fine but then something happened. is that something still preventing him to rally fast today ?

I think he has been doing ok, pity about the flat on the long stage yesterday, and today he hit some stone.Quote:

yes it happens, but not so much anymore, but in this event propably more than in others together, not so nice from drivers point of view, first you make big effort to get a budget to go to rally mexico then some morons throw stones and put stones on the road to see drivers in trouble.Quote:

me too, and i hope they skip it, FIA should show they are serious about this kind of stuff.Quote:

Nutahara is having serious problems.
Seems to be a battle for 3rd (unfortunately not for second with Marcus) tomorrow...... but mikko will do it.
any facts what happened to him on SS 13?
Seems that the latin American rallies get some kind of special treatment from the FIA... Argentina had far worse incident through the years and nothing happened as well.Quote:

I can't stand following Andy Aigners times. He must be frustrated.... what a step backwards after showing great potential last year..... ooooohhhh :-(((

It's stupid too to tell your competitors what problems you have in your car if there is any.Quote:

Yes the engine wont run right, it might think it's 0 degrease instead of 30Quote:
