what an fantastic ride, cutting mega. Latvalla communicates a lot on the pace notes. Can someone tell me if he corrects the notes to be slower, or that it can been faster the next time

Definetely not 196km/h average.Two times at limiter for few seconds.

Why did Patrik Flodin get 10 min penalty with only one stage missing? He just missed the last stage of the day winning SS6? Should be only 5 min in my humble opinion...

hmmmmm well depends on the gear ratio i think....sordo in bulgaria was at 216 km/hr and with no limiter on

That was completely different engine and gearing but that doesn't matter if You watch the real onboard. The tarmac part in the video is average speed let's say 150 km/h but hardly more.

Olivieras times are getting better and better i have to say!

different car Greg.
From the incar video is obvious that 2 fast sections with some sec in limiter cant average 196 when most corners are with 4th-5th speed(120-150km/h about) and some even slower ones.To have this average means that you must have sections with over 230-250 km/h,and not just 2 times in limiter for few seconds.

If you miss the last stage, it's 10 min penalty. You can't get to superrally without at least 10 min penalty.

If you miss the last stage of the day, you cet +10:00 minutes automatically. nowadays you cannot get less than 10:00 minutes penalty for Superally. Otherwise it is 5 minutes per stage, but if you retire on the last stage or roadsection, then it is +10:00. If anyone gets less than 10:00, then it is timing error.

thanks. Loeb and Hirvonen and the others complain it is a terrible stage and they need all there attention to drive safely, while Latvalla has still time to correct the pace notes in a calm way. It sounded like he was driving relaxed on his way to the supermarket (don't forget the milk, and do we have meat for dinner tomorrow :) )

We can see many spectators on the tarmac section. Maybe there are no tarmac events in Argentina.
