Wow what a stage, just left the computer for 10 minutes and all of this happens, what a rally!!! if this doesn't convince other WRC event organizers that night stages should be held I don't know what will (not talking about events with dust issues).

now moving
Are Sunninen retire from today?
next one is longer 17,9 vs 13,9 km
do we know if there is fog too?
And do we know if Ogier's car is working normaly? Could be important for the championship! Latvalla and Mikkelsen arent far away.
It's only 13 seconds between the world champ and Tanak....very tight @ the top... and with a longer stage coming up, why isn't this rally longer?? (by length that is)Quote:

Allegedly broken brake disc for Ogier.
Does anyone know what happened to Suninen?
Tidemand fastest by 36 seconds on 14 km long stage. WTF?
Suddenly second place is within Latvala's reach! I haven't seen such commitment from him in a stage end interview like the last one in a long time (I'm guessing it sounded determined).

Sound dangerous, curius to see how he wil cope whit that!
If you look at the stage times then it seems that it got worse exactly before neuville. Ogier just risked and there are consequences now
Rain and fog at the final stage for today. This will be decisive one.
expect to loose a lot.Quote:

Do they have a solution to prevent total loss of brakepower for such things? Blocking the pads in the caliper would be my option. Put a rock in whit some straps for instance.Quote:

Ok now the show.
They appeared now. Rather slow but seems to be ok.Quote:

Thats better, thanks.
Ogier stil almost equally fast as Neuville at first split
Apparently he just can't handle the conditions.Quote:

Ogier with nice 1st split,maybe stage with not so much braking?
Ok, seems no fog in this stage.
Scandinavian flicking from one corner to another...
Looks like a better stage for most crews.
Just back in from the rallyfest... heard Neuville was up to 2nd o/a but what happened in the last stage ?
Lots of fog and rain..and Ogier lost one of his brakes...Quote:

Neuville angry at fog... poor baby. Only he alone had those dreadful conditions...
Ogier is like a cat... when he falls, he falls on his feet
and it's never his fault.....stop whining Neuville!!Quote:
