Only for French people it is allowed... see Loeb in the Acropolis a few years ago.Quote:

Dramatic rally end also for Lappi; just like Tanak, he lost the win on SS20 because of a puncture. Better luck for both in Finland!
Such a shame for Tanak. Really reminds me of Bruno Thiry in Corsica, in 1995, although that was possibly a little more cruel. On a brighter note, things really do seem to be opening up, in terms of competitiveness.Quote:

Especially the great sportsmanship of some of Ott's competitors. Well done WRC!
As brilliant as that chopper is to watch, one day that will go very wrong!
This is true, I noticed missed junction and a few excursions wide in the ditch. However when Mikkelsen cleans the road (more or less being 3rd) his job is very demanding and those things are inevitable. If he wasn't flat-out all the time (and making small mistakes) he probably wouldn't win it. But Rajd Polski is forgiving event in terms of small driver errors. So indeed Tanak was very, very unfortunate. Better luck next time!Quote:

Every car was hitting this stone as it was sitting right in a middle of the rut for the right wheel. Fast corner, really fast, and it was like to hit 25cm high kerb at full speed. Michelin tyre H4 or S4 for WRC has much more steal wiring in their structure to make it stronger for punctures and stones like that b*stard over there, they weight 2kg more than TZ or those new tyres for R5 cars.
and when R5 class cars came - crazy, it was like massacre... Good that organisers stopped this before R2 and other cars came...

of course we tried to remove it many times if someone would dare to ask, but its was just a top of a big big stone, maybe few meters big under the gravel impossible to remove. Like I said, well done that stage was cancelled as 'it' could destroy all less strong cars which were to come after R5s

Sordo carried on after that but clipped a tree with a rear wheel on SS20 and broke something.Quote:

Actually that is pretty tame stuff, you want to watch them on live deer recovery or mustering sheep in the high country of NZ.Quote:

If i was Tommi i had recruit Ott and Suninnen already,both are talented and future champion challengers.
Suninen is not in the market anymore.
You mean if Ogier retires?!Quote:

With TMG yes, with TMR Gazoo officially no.Quote:

Okay. Soon it will be officially :p

I'm not super up on the regulations but maybe that 'engine' issue means they can fix something or run something new ahead of the next rally? Like we see in F1? There was nothing to gain for Sordo in the rally after he'd hit the tree.Quote:

As Teemu also mentioned we should be happy no one was killed in that rally. Seemed not to be any safety measures taken regarding to all jumps and the high speed. Compare to Finland. Just saying.Quote:
