no super rally at Portugal right?
Why Prokop is so slow? did he damage the car?
The engine isn't working properlyQuote:

Impressed by Paddon though. Breen a bit disappointing but of course one stage doesn't say much. Let's see what happens next (and in daylight).
Edit: Al Rajhi same time as Ogier...
What? You have better looking ones by the dozen around you? I really doubt that...Quote:

46. RE-START AFTER RETIREMENT / RALLY 2
46.1 GENERAL
46.1.1 Unless stated differently in the event Supplementary Regulations, a crew which has failed to
complete a section may be assumed to re-start the rally from the start of the next section following the
overnight regroup unless they confirm otherwise with the clerk of the course by completion of the form
located in the rear of the road book and lodging it with the organiser as soon as possible before the
publication of the re-start list.
If it isn't in Regulations, then they can join the rally. But I think not tomorrow, only saturday.
Loeb will not restart
Loeb won't restart
Prokop on three cylinders since the SS2.
I'm not sure one snow event is "counting". Nevertheless, yes it is just one stage.Quote:

nice time by Tanak :)
Breen with an impressive time on SS3
Sebastien Loeb’s lead of the FIA World Rally Championship is under threat after the French ace went off the road approximately seven kilometres from the start of stage three of Vodafone Rally de Portugal.
Loeb was running second on the road in his Citroen DS3 WRC and posted the third fastest time on stage two. Although both he and co-driver Daniel Elena were uninjured, their car is understood to have ended up some distance from the road. It has been reported they will not restart under Rally 2 regulations on Friday.

Tanak times a good surprise to me, at least... the kid seems not to be bad, driving in such difficult positions as they notice on the WRC radio..
Wow, I know that Loeb is against endurance rallies and wants shorter events but this is taking it a bit far.
So what should Ford do for tactics? Let Petter run with it and Jari-Matti get some solid points or let them duke it out on the stages and risk it all to Mikko, and could this be the year Hirvonens plod along consistency finally pays off??? Very early in the season but this makes a change not to be talking about Seb and Daniel waltzing away with the lead :)
wow strong exit!Quote:
