Rally Norway 2009 2nd thread

Thanks Mirek..

any photos from day1?

Lost the whole day because of work.. great. Just great.

Nothing special in top 4, but I gotta say that I'm as impressed about P-G's pace as everyone else in here. What an awesome speed. Hopefully he stays on the road and Skoda will come to the finish in one piece. :up:

Hirvonen, however, insisted the switch was unintentional. “My rear tyres are completely finished - I tried really hard,” he said. “We had a lot more tyre wear than the Citroens. I’m missing lots of studs. This is definitely not what I wanted to do. Now we have a lot to make up. It’s going to be a big fight tomorrow.”

i am really no fan of Loeb or Citroen, but under this circumstances i hope he will win also in norway.

first hirvonen played his role: rear tires where completly gone, no grip, bla bla bla and than they write in theire press release that it was strategy..

how stupid is that?

thanks Mirek Fric :)

great pictures!!!! bravo Petr Lusk!

I think that there are no advantage tomorrow to be second on the road. Even there might be some advantage to be first on the road. I am quite sure that Mikko didnt loose that time intentionally. If you have some studs missing then that is already very big disadvantage.. that actually means the others are already moving and grip level goes down almost exponentially.
Those official press releases.. dont belive those. These are written by PR people and mostly drivers does not even know what they were "saying" there
