I think Quali should be only for the wrc cars. Difference between 14th and 22nd will not be big but he can end up being first (or one of the first) on the road, then it will be 25-30 cars back to teammate Mikkelsen.

Definitely not only WRC cars. It is for all P1 and P2 drivers (21 here in Sweden). Ogier is among them thanks to his overall victories in last year.

Important point. Not only would you want the right road position. It has to be right in relation to getting known lines in front of you. You want some of the faster drivers, in front you. Not so easy to do if you pick your spot first.

According to the regulations:
Competitors will choose their start position for the rally according to the results of the Qualifying stage.
30.8.1 The fastest driver will choose his position first, then the second, followed by the third etc.
That means all P1 and P2 drivers to me.

I know, I ment the rules should read "P1 and P2 drivers driving an wrc car". As they are now we could end up with an Fiesta N3 or something first on the road...

Not possible, rules say that P2 driver must drive WRC/S2000/R4

I've read that about James, from 1995 to 2002. Chris Rames has been working for World Rally Radio. This is what the WRR site says:
"Chris “The Technical Director”. Chris is based back at HQ making sure things run smoothly on air...". So maybe he's not going to be at the stages.
Here, Twitter, Cloughley's twitter, you can find some info about him.

I just calculated with average speed that difference between 2nd and 3rd place in QS was 0.005 sec, that is around 17 cm in their average speed :-) That is around the width of A4 paper.

I´m so glad there´s no tactics involved, just pure driving. Oh, wait a minute..

Quote:

Wilson's driver Jari-Matti Latvala set the fastest time on the 2.4-mile qualifying stage and will now select his position on the road first of all the priority drivers at this evening's ceremonial start.

There are concerns that some of Ford and Citroen's customer cars could be slotted in ahead of the main protagonists.

The significant competitive action starts with the event's longest stage - the 17-mile Mitandersfors test - tomorrow morning. It's possible Latvala and the other leading drivers could make up the two-minute gap between them and some tactically placed customer cars.

"If that starts to happen," said Wilson, "we'll have to respond. We're here to win the rally – it's that simple. There's a lot to think about. We have a meeting at five o'clock to consider our options."

Ironically, the qualifying stage was introduced to try and alleviate the tactical approach being taken, with crews slowing down on the stages to drop time and jockey for a position further down the order on the following day.

Question
How many times do you have the right to run the qualifying stage?I saw Leb's time and i wonder if he run only one time.If he ran first and he done only one attempt then i understand his stage time.
THANKS
