Oh dear Kiubica out again. Well off the road, maybe into a tree.
And Kubica is off, lucky too many times this weekend but not now.
He's off :(
Let's hope JML does not repeat that feat...
Well the good news here in Australia is Souths have just won the rugby league grand final. Back to rally
Kubica fans now understand why we dont praise him too much til the rally is finished ...
Robert, noooooooooooooooooooooooo, noooooooooooooooo.....I can't belive.....
Ohhh no .... Kubica ...
Missed the start and poor Robert bins it. No doubt a replay on shortly.
Everybody scared of not finishing in top 3.
LATVALA WINS ON TARMAC !!! :D
(And Evans splits the VWs on the PS !!) :)
Kubica ir real WRC driver and hi is a kind of driver I want to see in WRC. He does not care abour good rally finishes, but wants to be fast, wants to be on level with top drivers and wants to win stages, which he actualy DOES time to time.
Sorry, this is not his level....Quote:

Well done to all. Good result for Kris and Paul.
So now we just need a repeat performance in Catalunya to set up an all or nothing finale at WRGB - please rally gods, not too much to ask, after all Seb has blown 2 tarmac rounds in a row!
Kevin is driving carefully, he wants to finish the rally...Quote:

He tries, sometimes too hard like today, but an exciting driver too watch.Quote:

But what a crappy organization, no final stage stop control celebrations... Instead a small drive to a little podium with people behind barriers placed quite far away.
FINALLY. Kevin's 208 finishes a rally.
Some of the spectator areas also seemed to be quite some distance from the road.Quote:

What to say (I still did not get over from the retirement of RK, this is huge disappointment for me...)....congrats for first tarmac victory for JML & M.Anttila. They have been waiting for long long time! Same goes for young Norvegian driver, second place is (almost) a victory for him. Meeke-we all are well accustomed for his podium results. Nice; the seat with Citroën should be 100% sure for next season. Sordo-I think he is not happy; he knows that he is capable on tarmac for much more, ''just'' fourth place at the end (and be fair beaten by disabled driver) is not the way he wants to end tarmac rallies....Mikko-he is history, sorry....Evans-again very good performance. Neuville-definitely one of the biggest losers (if not THE biggest) this weekend.....
Few places lower in the final classification: Abbring, the name which should be in minds of big bosses when they will put together teams for next year (Malcom!!). And 208 R5 survived three day of punishment, yeah....
At the end-who was the fastest naturally aspirated car and driven on one axle??? Porsche 911 GT3 RGT !! Nobody did not even think that 911 will be faster than R3 class, but both 911's are space shuttles for R3 class. Sometimes even faster than ''racing laboratory on four wheels'' -R5 cars....
Roll on to Spain.....and to another oppurtunity for RK....this one should suit him best.....the closest tarmac event to F1 circuit racing.
very sry for kubica... he was already lucky friday and saturday but he needed just e few kms more... again incredible performance...Quote:

keep fighting Robert!
Congratulations for the JML's tarmac win, great performance, if Ogier's Polo didn't break, probably we'd watch kind of epic fight. Great performance for MIkkelsen as well. May be next year he can take a win or two. No match for VW team once again though. Positives for Evans too. And that's probably all for WRC this round. GT's - awesome cars, lets hope next year championship has some interesting contenders and this group develops on world level.

Sad sight but so familiar now - it will take some strength to carry on after this one. :(Quote:

And dry conditions. But they add some nice variation to the field, with awesome sound!Quote:
