Let's start from the beginning:

1) Slowing the car in the last SS of the day so you lose first position on the road on purpose (no sweeping next day)

- Ford does it. "OH NOZ they're cheaters !!! F**k Ford !"

- Citroen does it. "OH it's all Ford blame. They've started it !"

2) Have an M2 team who can help you to fight against the opponent (sweeping roads etc.)

- Ford does it. "OH NOZ they're cheaters !!! F**k Ford !"

- Citroen, not yet (they aren't able at the moment). But if they'll do in the future "OH it's all Ford blame. They've started it !"

Do YOU get it now ? http://www.motorsportforums.com/foru...s/rolleyes.gif

That's not what i've said. Do you get it now? :)

Yes, it's not your line of reasoning but others used it. Don't you get it now? :)

All trough the day today I read the site and wondered when the moderaters are sending in the Kindergartnen cops to give all of you a new sweet diaper and some candy to keep you sweet :( :(. Playing tactics and using other drivers in the team to favour 1 is from all ages, so we cant blame Wilson or Ford or Citroen for using what ever methode that is givento them. Go all to the FIA and scream to them like you screamed and yelled to each other here all day.
Lets celibrate an exciting two days of cat and mouse game, of drivers trying to run far away from the group but cannot succceed and have to wonder what the others will do. And most of all we have a magnificant firewirk on the last day. Or do you want to have a borring last day were everybody is allready 4 minutes away from eachother and all cruise to the fat lady that sings at the finish and gives the winner a wetty kiss?
Grow up and enjoy the last exciting day.

Latvala in the stage

ok bets on. JML quicker than Mikko but Seb will be 5 secs quicker than both of them?

or should we discount sordo....??

hirvonen already 1 second faster in 1st split

Good morning from NZ, It is about time for the first stage of the day to start and we are watching it live on TV on the feed that we should be getting on wrc.co.

In the Northern Hemisphere it musy be about time for the day for all those naughtly childish peiole who have been keeping themselves amused by throwing their respective Citreon and Ford toys out of the cot to go to sleep so that real rally people can enjoy their sport without interuptions

Go Jari-Matti :D

Hirvonen 1 up already

My prediction of results after morning loop:

1. Loeb 2. Latvala +3 3. Hirvonen + 5

Loeb made a mistake !!!!!

4 up now!

loeb made a mistake

Couldn't have put it better :up:

Trouble for Loeb!!!!

Seems like Latvala will loose everything already in this one.

Hirvonen seems to be so fast in second split that he might be tough bone to Loeb. It seems that Hirvonen just finds something in these tight battles.

Spin for Mr loeb

Aava made an error?

toni fastest at first split, shows how much the road is cleaning. Wilson for a fastest time i reckon

henning 3.2 secs quicker in just over a minute !

Gardemeister fighting against Villagra must be a dream come true. :rolleyes:

Hope Petter and Henning get top 2 - something good in a terrible weekend for the Solbergs...

I wouldn't highlight it because the road is enormously faster at that point of running order. This is also Petter's favourite stage. 2004 he won Grönholm here by 5 sec even Grönholm was overally catching.
