I wonder how much doing Janner Rally helped Kubica get ready for these conditions? Given everyone else only tested, there is nothing like proper competition experience pushing you to help hone your skills.

Awesome start from Kubica :) Good to see Meeke and Bouffier in the mix as well. Awesome RMC so far :)
Great time by Burri aswell, leading in S2000 Fiesta in front of all R5 Fiestas :laugh: Quite a funny situation
I think it will have helped him get used to the new car at least; I doubt he would have been leading after two stages without it.Quote:

:disturb:
edit the above is the only comment so far from the official site so far after 3 stages.
these guys must go home,they are useless.They ruin the sport.
Chardonnet 4th at stage and 6th overall with ds3 r3
What about Chardonnet's time? :)
To a certain extent yes, but not entirely. Mads did well to keep up with the #1 Citreon driver over the first 2 stages don't you think Rallyper ;)? Haha :laugh:Quote:

will be snowing at parts of stages at/before 2nd loop?Quote:

I've got a samsung s4 that is new to me today, i have google chrome but no wrradio. Is it any settings i have to do?
You need flash player and in some cases another web browser... Let's hope they release a real smartphone app sometime soon.
Kubica again showing he has raw speed.. just needs to stay on the road !
Janner Rally has definately helped.. he was awesome on the final stage there to win...
With studs, with studs :DQuote:

The surface change by the minute here in these +/- 0 degrees conditions!
Classic Monte results on the first loop...exciting but nothing to do with driving.
There are many places without GSM signal in French mountains. For example when I was on the stage of Škoda waterloo in 2011 I knew what was going on but I could not inform anyone as I had no carrier pigeon...Quote:

If you strcik yourself - you can get a confidence. And after that you crash. Maybe if Thierry think about confidence in a car things maybe be different.Quote:

Some guy written previously that he's using Photon browser on android device. You have to enable the flash from the top of the appQuote:

Any info what happen to Delecour and Maurin (Mechanical) on SS1 ?
Had been interesting to know what tire-strategy Delecour had with his experience
if somebody have missed it,live stream from service works properly

:laugh: We have to bet some beers regarding our Meeke and Mads views. IMO its obvious Meeke will outpace Ostberg this year on most rallies barring sweden and finland- soo to make it a simplier bet for you il give you 20 beers if Mads finishes ahead of Meeke in the Final Championship Standings. If Meeke finishes ahead you give me 20 beers?? :bounce:
I agree also 100% wat "N.O.T" say. :-) .... :DQuote:

Also how the heck can Bluford tell us yesterday what the teams couldnt figure this morning, respect to you sir, and I think you are overly modest about your meteorological knowledge, in my time on this forum you have made many accurate weather predictions and I cant remember you making any real blunders yet?
I left the rally radio playing and at one point noticed that they are looping the service "report". Have they stopped playing music this year? Hearing Ostberg complain or apologize or whatever you call it more than once is a bit tiresome.
bluford have give us accurate weather report stage by stage at Acropolis.And he was right about rain ,in which part of the stage will rain,how much rain etc.
really genious at his hobby!
Fully agree with You.Quote:
