We can see their marks on the screen we formerly knew as a split-times screen. At the end of the stage the marks will be averaged and those averages will be compared with video evaluations :-P
EDIT: I hope FIA does not read this comment... who knows..

Will N.O.T. be hired as an expert? :DQuote:

3rd year watching youtube clips

9th year [well, we all know how these plans take longer than expected]
Or just take the Ford fan's route
1st year. This is our year, we're going to win.
2nd year. That damn Loeb, if he was driving for us we'd win.
3rd year. Don't be mean to Mathew Wilson! If Malcolm was your dad you'd do it too!
4th year. Matt's testing the new car! It's going to be a cracker.
5th year. Damnit, if Sebastien Ogier was driving for us we'd win
....
10th year Now that Mathew has taken over M-Sport we're SURE to win now!!!!
If Malcom's boys win this year it'll be a miracle.
Yes he has!Quote:

Is there any particular reason you feel the need to make personal remarks rather than talk about the topic? Reported your post anyway.....Quote:

I've had enough of taking crap from people who just want to be personal rather than actually having a discussion about the topic.Quote:

Moderator, please close the topic imidietly 'cos we know who'll be the champ next year.. :D
I hear different stories about the exclusief use of the 1,6t WRCars to the WRCars. They also may drive in national/regional series which already allow WRCars. Are the 1.6t WRCars only legal for the WRC? I hear that Nasser Al Attiyah bought a Fiesta WRcar for use in the Middle East Rally Championship next year ?!

Legal in national and regional championships..
No, in the moment it's still not decided. They are legal only in WRC. Originally there was no plan to allow even SP in regional championships for 2011 but there are quite strong pushes to do so. Most probably they won't be allowed in IRC. In national championships it's always up to ASN. We have to wait few weeks for more news.
Alleskids: I doubt that there is any new WRC car for sale and not only for rent. But maybe...
Hopefully they will be allowed in national championships, its much cheaper for drivers with serious ambitions to get used to those that way.Quote:

Ford’s drivers were equally pleased with the results of their time in the Fiesta RS WRC in Cumbria. This was the first time the full 2011 specification Fiesta ran on gravel in Britain, having tested the chassis with the new engine on asphalt at an airfield close to M-Sport’s Cockermouth base.
Jari-Matti Latvala said: “Everything is going really well with the new car. We are making good progress and, I have to say, it’s a very exciting car to drive. It feels really nice and well-balanced and good power. It’s good to be in the car which we are using for next year, we will be driving it a lot before Sweden [the opening round of next year’s World Rally Championship], but that is good, we need a lot of experience for the car before we start competing.”
Kuipers to drive Ford Fiesta RS WRC for 2011: http://www.m-sport.co.uk/index.php/n...s-wrc-for-2011

Good idea, hope it will happen :hot:Quote:

I was thinking the same. Merksteijn, ipatec, Philips or something else on the car and Weijs and Abbring in the car.Quote:
