Did you noticed that Nobre is so slow that someone is entering from his right rear door during shakedown stage?Quote:

On what stage will Latvala go off? :D
Silly mistake and I bet he had 'dont cut' in the notes ..
Is his car ok to go in SS1 ?
SS1 in 1 hour or 2 hours?

Being a girl shouldn't make a difference - bit patronising to treat her differently because of her gender. The fact is she hopes to be the first women to compete in the WRC, and she has shown no evidence she's able to. In fact she's not even that good at local level. Louise is a lovely girl but she shouldn't be excused because of who she is. I don't mean to be rude to her, but I rate other drivers harshly too so why should the very slowest one avoid criticism?Quote:

So should none of us have an opinion? Really winds me up when people say 'show you can do better' - no I won't because I don't pretend I'm a rally driver! Just because she's better than me doesn't mean she's good. And loads of people on here criticise JML and Petter for crashing, Wilson for being slow, Nobre for being... well, himself etc. So surely it's only logical that questions are asked about the lovely Ms Cook?Quote:

Lets hope he can keep it up AND finish the rally ...
Will try to explain from other side.
Take a look e.g.
NBA.com - 2011-2012 Conference Regular Season Standings
Charlotteo 7 59
Does it mean, that they shouldn't paly in NBA? From your point of view, they deserve only to disband the team.
I confess to knowing nothing about Basketball, but no, that's not what I'm suggesting at all. I don't suggest Cook should quit. I suggest she shouldn't pretend she's going to be some kind of revelation to the WRC which is what she seems to try and promote whenever interviewed. Anyone can take part in rallying, however rubbish, but they are allowed to be criticised. Charlotte have as much right to play in the NBA as the top team, but they should accept they're going to be criticised for being awful. Likewise, I support Fulham in the Premiership - they are by no means the best or worst team, but I still criticise them when they do badly. What's wrong with that? Cook is doing badly, so deserves criticism.
Btw, did you pay attanetion to car class difference?
I did indeed. Massive difference between her car and most of the others, but still not good pace. And it's not like this is her first slow event. We're going to have to agree to disagree, but your only basis for an argument seems to be I'm worse than her and her car isn't great, and nothing to actually say 'no, she isn't that bad'!Quote:

No, Ukraine driver have Michelin tyres while ''Rally Class'' drivers use Dmack which on 1 km are slower by 0,5 - 1.0 seconds. If they drive on same tyre, than you eat dust :)Quote:

According to MTV3, FIA has ordered JML to stop using the additional cushioning under HANS...

Just come back from shakedown and ss1.
At shakedown we had a small rain after the first 4 passages.At qualifying works drivers were in a class of their own.But good passages from Novikov at the point we were.Nobres door was opening at shakedown too,but wasn t fixed at ss1....
At ss1 we were with Rallyper at a downhill section at 18km of stage.Nice point suggested and driven to the point by atsiotras :D
Works drivers again at their(higher) level,and some others with (asking for problem) wide lines(Tanak-Neuville-Al Rajhi)
Not impressed at all by Neuvilles drive,but i have to wait till the end to have a safer opinion.Araujo no comment,dont want to make sad JAM.
Before stage 1 we were with atsiotras some friends and Rallyper for a coffee at Waves cafe.Nice to meet you Per,a really nice guy you love to talk about rallies.
@Not really good photos Greg!!
