Petters unbelievable choice for soft tyre at 20+ celsious and 24km stage....

Nice to meet RallyPer and Dimviii at waves where we decided to go and watch together the first stage. I am happy you liked the spot. Tomorrow we go with RallyPer at the extreme downhill part at the end of SS2. Now, time for bed :)
It's interesting to see that the lack of posts on the thread (in comparison with the other rounds) is due to the fact that the most common writers are in Loutraki watching the event and cannot post (I assume they would prefer seeing the cars then typing in their cell phones (I would at least...). Feeling jealous for not being able to be part of the crowd close to the cars... Have a great event, guys!
I did indeed mean she wants to be competitive, and I have full respect for Mouton. She is proof that female drivers can be equal to male drivers, thus rendering the point of Cook's gender irrelevant. But since her there has not been a competitive female driver (correct me if I'm wrong) which is what Cook aims to be. Hopefully she'll make it, but I'd guarantee she won't!Quote:

Good start by JML, hopefully he can keep it up. Looks like sime big cuts are being taken, so he needs to avoid a puncture!
Had a good day too! First we tried to reach the finish of the QS, but failed due to a navigation error ;) than went to the spectator point and walked into the stage. Some pretty sick high speed spots!
At the first stage we went for the easy way and got in at the flying finish near Loutraki :) immediately stopped at the last corner of the stage, awesome corner where everybody went really sideways at quite a high speed onto tarmac at the FF.
Now on our way to Thiva jump :)
Solberg has something wrong with the balance / setup. Difference between left and right hand corners
Settling down with my tea for a great night of rally.
Looks like nueville had issues on first leg?
Seemed to be going alright regardless.
I think he had a spin early on in the stage, he said he should be ok for the rest of the day :)Quote:

That seemed very strange. First FIA says it's okey to use it, they didn't recommend it but didn't forbid either, but then on the minute Latvala was checking in at TC at SS1 a FIA official knocks the window and orders him to remove the cushioning. Well handled...Quote:

Loeb only with one tyre spare - could be interesting in the next stage if any rain comes
im loving Mikklesen putting some hard time to Ogier
Mikkelsen is doing very well, was he in Greece before or is this his first time out on these stages?
Jump was very nice! Al-Attiyah was the craziest :D Now a 2 hour drive for 2x Bauxites before heading back to Thiva :)
How this is possible because if I remember right, regulation says that you have to be two spare tires all the time... I'm not sure but that's what I remember...Quote:

Basically you can drive without any spares if the traffic rules allow I think..
Al Rajhi is doing superbly btw:-)
Ok... I remember that wrong but you have be at least one spare... Can't drive without any spare tire... For that I'm sure...Quote:

Wowh, JML five seconds faster as Seb on split 3. :eek:
Tänäk reported stopped on SS4.
Bt it completely changed on last split, now Seb is five seconds faster as Jari-Matti
Something wrong with Petter??

Didn't have splits on last stage either, so hopefully okQuote:

I didn't know they started stage 5 yet? So how can Tanak be stopped over there?
Edit: ok, i see you removed your post.
That is a good one from Petter :up:
Left the pc for a second to get some more tea and didn't see any times coming for peter...just about crapped my pants. Luckily i crapped my pants for other reasons.
Yes. Just saw Best-of-Rally Live's tweet, it had SS5 on it. I was just catching up on the events and soon realised their - and mine - mistake. Sorry. But Tänak had some little problem on SS4, I see.Quote:
