Wowh, Neuville trough in 10.00.8
Very good. Mikkelsen can't follow.Quote:

Do you think? It is not on the itinerary at least.Quote:

I have my doubts on that. Meeke under pressure.Quote:

Neuville 3 seconds off Meekes time ... nice battle... fastest time by the tarmac expert Latvala...
He-hee...Quote:

That was Loeb. I hope that Jari wont take any risks. 50+ seconds is really a comfortable lead.Quote:

He'll still be trailing Ogier by some 20 points (depending on PS result) and there are two tarmac rallies left for Ogier to win and two gravel rallies for JML to try to offset that. JML winning here would surely balance the championship but Ogi's lead is still very convincing. Unless he makes a habit of crashing out.Quote:

Citroën is still somewhat competitive but M-Sport must do something to be back in game and not only for numbers.
No moving images of both crashes of Ogier. ?
M-Sport should start attracting faster drivers.Quote:

Great driving from Tidemand om SS11!! 1th again! :D
Some friends have said that the rally Australia roads this year have a lot of loose on top. There has been a little bit of rain this week, which will help dust.Quote:

Where is Bernardo?
even though there are another 2 tarmac rallies this year, Latvala is showing here that he is capable of applying pressure on Ogier.
Sat 15:24 - SS12: Rain reported
WRC TV crews at the 7.4km point are getting a soaking. This could make things interesting.
ogier's crash

Had JML not had that puncture in Sardinia, things would now look very different... I still think JML's championship chances are slim, if not practically non-existent, but this sport can sure spring surprises and given that VW allows their drivers to fight each other, I am hoping for a exciting end for the season this year.
Now championship can be re-launched. If Latvala wins and get PS points, he will be on race. If Australia runs good ;) if if... maybe this year we can see title decided on GB
I hope it won't be a re-run of '09 and '11 (between Loeb and Hirvonen) for Latvala if it comes down to GB
ogier has a crash record at gb,2008-9-10-11
i mean from Latvala's side (in short- don't want him to fail like Hirvonen did back then)Quote:
