Paddon out retired before the stage.
And here's Paddon's explanation (engine) Photos du mur | Facebook
Plot thickens in the S2000, 0.3 now the difference.
That is excatly what I am saying. He just said in the radio that he is first time in these roads !!!!!!Quote:

So, swallow your pride and be a man instead of Mousefart. Ogier has more experience than Lappi and now he is feeling pressure of this youngster.
LATVALA J.-M. / ANTTILA M. (st. č. 3) "I did some changes, it already feels better, but touching to the ground, maybe too low."
Loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
Then you have no idea what you are saying...
wish the best to lappi.... lets see him on roads he REALLY doesn't know and then we can draw conclusions.
Loeb fights back...
You are just unbelievable my friend.....Quote:

With "small mistake", impressiveQuote:

What he does here is impressive indeed... but many people before him did it and the result was the same always in the last decade... they fail when they set foot on roads they do not know by heart.
He is still young and hope his managers have a better plan than make him a media champion...
When people realise that Finland is a unique event where local Knowledge counts for 70% of the performance (unless you are an alien like Loeb) then they actually might start have a chnce of disstinguishing between real talent and manager games...
I really wish that Lappi is a true talent and shows it in the following years and shows the speed he has now on events that differ from Finland.
To our Fin mates....which stage of rally is exactly same as 2011 to compare stage times?
By comparing the mileage just Uria so far... 2+ seconds faster this year.... 5.59 compared to Hirvonen first pass in '11 6.01
and it is also the only one with the same Kms as in 2011... all the other stages are either different or have more or less Kms than in 2011
Wow Hirvonen in 2010 with 2lt WRC was 4 seconds faster than this years time of Loeb (first pass in both cases) 5.55.08 in 2010.... 5.59.05 this year
thanks.What about Ouninpohja ? is the same as years back to compare times?Quote:

This should be normal - 2l vs. 1.6lQuote:

Atkinson off road in Lankamaa
He really isn't doing himself any favours. He is fast, but he really should focus on finishing in the points more than taking risks ... he might be a bit "rusty" in a WRC car but this is his second chance in a WRC car this year, and it's the results that matters. Let's hope he will be back tomorrow and can claw his way back...Quote:

This won't be Atkinson's Rally - hit a rock and lost wheel.
