Indeed Hirvonnen is 5th and Solberg 9th.Quote:

Is there a page that has what tyre brand each driver has? Who are with DMack in RC2?
It seems Ketomaa losing way too much in these stages, probably DMacks are gone completely.
As somebody already pointed out - Sohlberg is also on DMacks. He hasn't done a WRC rally for centuries but he is almost on the pace of Ketomaa...Quote:

Much rather see the car given to someone else.
What about Pirellis, is just Henning and Grondal using them if you know?Quote:

I don't want to judge Hirvonen but I really don't like this kind of excuses. When he was in Fiesta he was in worse car than Loeb but when he moved to same car as Loeb he was even slower than with Fiesta. When he moved to Fiesta he is again in worse car - this time than Ogier but Latvala was faster with Fiesta than with Polo. Cars don't win alone, it's the combination of car and driver. Some work better some worse but saying that the car of the one who is currently wining must be better is too much simplified and moreover quite depreciating to abilities of the wining driver.Quote:

The fight has not even begun. Wait until tomorrow. And of course Saturday finish. Then weīll talk ...
Alright,I still think Polos have most powerful engine and maybe best suspension/chassis, at the moment. Sweden is the rally that such things are the difference between the fastest guys. But letīs leave that.Quote:

So is Tanak driving a VW ?? :rolleyes: And he hasnt driven a WRC for a year...Quote:

SS7 should be night stage.Quote:

Tanak is doing great job so far, but we know he can be very fast in Sweden. I thought the same for Hirvonen though :|
From Autosport:
Here's some more snow rallying philosophy from Kris Meeke, who today has been learning about judging changing levels of ice/snow/mud on a visually deceptive surface:
"You have to detune your eyes. You can see it, but you have to feel it with your arse."
Hirvonen is 6 secs after Tanak after six stages and he isnīt fast? Please skip the B**LSH*t.Quote:

There's no point of censorship. I've read majority of the today's pages and in my opinion there's pretty much nothing to clean up. If you expect people to speak in the style of classic literature, then we might as well format the entire forum.Quote:

Comment after tomorrow at least.
Again, a promising day for the future of our sport, gaps for top 14 around 10 sec. That's excelent.
I'm waiting for Your answer for three weeks. Why did You ban me? Be a man and reply. I am not going to shot You for that.Quote:

Iīm kind of speedy right now - but BJ you shouldnīt even think of start something stupid again... :oQuote:

brother john... you just failed at your duties... i expect the administrator to mode you right away...
You are absolutelly right. Some drivers might just have destroyed their tyres for the rest of the Rally, lets wait and seeQuote:
