If you only have 15 pages you must have a lot of people on your ignorelist :DQuote:

That's the video, but there is no crest or anything like that (as he says about the moment when it broke) and when you see them fixing the car it's on completely different spot on the right side of the road (as he says about the second impact).
So imo the first part shows the first moment = cause of problems. Anyway if it does not then it must must have been so uneventful that they didn't even put it in the TV footage?
Main point was that on none of the footage can you see 100% driver error, hence I want the 100 euro from MIkeD who is and was betting on that right as it happened.
Althought it dosn't really matter now, according to the 2012 Sporting Regulations Gloves are required;Quote:

About Solberg vs Hirvonen... sure the driver lineup when you have Loeb in you ranks doesn't really count when it comes to manufacturer title...but why make your life harder when you can make it a lot easier ??
definetely its not the time of impact.Impact was 10km before.Video shows the time when steering arm broked.25 minutes coverage for day1 and didn t show the impact.Big failQuote:

Maybe malcolm is testing something in his car.. e.g. stronger steering arms ;)
probably a spin on the 1st section....
problems for novikov...
crazy results so far....Novikov 21 seconds off the pace then just 7 at the end....
all have problems on split 1?
Petter also lost some time on first split.
how can Solberg be just -1.1 from tanak on split 1 when nobre was 11 ??
Huge differences in the splits between all splitpoints. Now Neuville loses time to Tanak again.
Quite strange actually, are they all following the same route?!
Prehaps Nobre was fed up of you referring to him as a 'village driver'.Quote:

Sordo also slow on split 1 ??
BAH...the argentinians are playing again....
Tanak wins a lot of time between split 3 and 4. Something must be wrong I think.
the timing system is wrong... the differences between splits cannot be explained....
For sure the splits are wrong... but the stage times seems to be correct at least.
It could be there's a bit of road there that's getting really chopped upQuote:

Ogier woke up...
Loeb wins the stage...

AFAIK WRC timing is not handled by event organisers.Quote:
