Has there there been a French Driver thrown out of WRC 3 for Illegal Recee and had an accident with another car while doing this ? I hear there was a press release last night from the organisers and this driver didn't start yesterday morning over this ???? ....Consani
Yes, Stephane Consani has been thrown out of WRC 3:
On a different note, there's an interesting quote by Yves Matton about their tire choice for Friday's second loop:Quote:
WRC 3 contender Stephane Consani was today thrown out of the championship after admitting illegally recceing a Rallye de France-Alsace stage last month. Consani was also involved in an accident on the 34.34km Vosges-Pays d’Ormont stage, the longest of the rally, on 26 September.
Consani told rally stewards that when he realised he was being followed by representatives of the rally organisers, he panicked and drove off. The Frenchman, who was accompanied in the car by his girlfriend, withdrew from the rally before the restart this morning ‘for personal reasons’.
Consani, who was seventh in the WRC 3 championship standings, had his points withdrawn and was suspended from the final two rounds of the season. He will be reported to French motorsport’s governing body with a request to consider suspending his competition licence

This afternoon we had very good weather information but we didn’t use it. I think we were little bit too safe.
I am wondering, why would anyone want T.N. to go to Citroën? He is comfortable, fast, regular on the Fiesta and has the benediction & funding from his friend Nasser. Why would anyone change a winning formula?
Good morning. Big rain on the way as predicted!! http://www.meteo60.fr/radars_index.php

Impossible. Ogier always cares about anybody close to him and especially about Loeb. He must be completely mad about public in France not bothering about his WRC title and instead cheering for Loeb. I guess his bad performance may have more to do with this. I can't imagine that this guy would suddenly change in a second and from the predator aiming to destroy all others to a tourist not bothering about the rest.Quote:

What's going to happen with the all new already prepared Fiesta WRC evolution?Quote:

Go ask Malcolm. Also ask whether Ford supports them 'cause without that they can't homologate anything.Quote:

Ogier starting to put the foot down.
Would anyone know co-drivers for crews:
#130 Robert Consani
#157 Patrick Cornus

Thanks, I added Julien Dauchel for Cornus but am undecided about Robert Consani's co-driver.
Rene's suggestion Boyere is paired with #62 Stephane Consani so Noel's suggestion Landais sounds better but what's his first name? Vincent?
Edit: Ah, Landais is confirmed by http://www.lalsace.fr/sport/2013/10/04/speciale-n-1
Yep, Vincent Landais.Quote:

Something wrong with the timing, gotta be...
What did Dani say at stage end interview?
Also Ogier 19" down on first split .. Must be timing?
Splits.. Let me guess, they are getting lost in the fog.
Looks like timing hassle (again), pheeew...
He said it was very easy to make mistakes due to the black asphalt patches. Neuville said about the same.Quote:

Long way to go.......Quote:

Mikkelsen had a big moment
That's true but only one faster is Ogier and he can pull out only a sec or so per stage. So he'd need 26 stages to overtake...Quote:

Also remember that tomorrow is only 56 km long.
Next one is long one and will likely be a bit of a decider...
