Østberg and Grøndal the first 2 cars on the road are on 49th and 50th place, 1 minute behind... and for example 40 seconds behind group N3 Fiesta STs with FWD
yes yes.....both cases the wrc run on wet tarmac and ice and the gassner and mcshea on dry conditions...Quote:

I don't think so. The engine of new cars has similar output as WRC around year 2000. Otherwise they are almost same as S2000. But the difference is way too big (let's say 40-50 Hp and more than 2x torque). In my opinion it's just because when You don't have a traction, You can't use more power and in that moment both S2000 and WRC really are almost equal thanks to same suspension and transmission. But that's rare situation. Anyway I don't see any problem if tourists in WRc are beaten by S2000.Quote:

In the new forum, is there a possibility to block someones comments, so I do not have to skip all his comments??
Regarding the rally and specualtion about differences in cars, I think best is to listen to drivers:
1- Most of them are saying cargo too much sideways because of the shorter wheelbase.
In fast places like Sweden i guess that IS the issue.
Both Mads and PG while faster commented they both tried to drive in thje middle of the road.
Comaprissons with S2000 are useless in such changing conditions, anyway it is very nice to see S2000 cars going so well.
I do think it is good to have S2000 close to new WRC, which is the problem?
Remember also that tyre supplier(s) have been changed since last year...
i think there is an ignore function....search it.Quote:

What is the weather? still snowing?
I too, don't understand why they should be special. The last WRCars were fantastic pieces of kit - but were boring, quiet and didn't show the sport in the greatest light.Quote:

Just to mention - More competition = more interest from media and sponsors = better for the rally sport!
no it stopped snowing, weather have been reported to be sunny now.Quote:

Will be interesting to see! Speeds will be much higher now and if you get out of the track there will probably be no return!
Ok, thanks.
next stage is live

There is now a 3-min gap between Jari-Matti Latvala as Petter Solberg was a minute late out of service. Petter had to change something on the back end of the car which caused the delay, exactly what was changed is not clear. "
10 seconds penalties for Petter though
This forum is so slow, what is happening with it, i am not used to that?
Thank you!
Ogier seems to be on a charge, as is Mikko.
splits are normalised again.....Loeb losing a normal amount this time....
Ostberg is on another planet !!!!
So is Andersson speed-wise :)
Lol, Ostberg doesn't understand why the others are so slow :D
Mads countinue with his great pace :)
Not so good pace on this forum
but its going to be hard for him tommorow
Petter:
I have changed something on the car, but I cannot say what, because Citroëns are listening." ;)
Sorry for the slowness :( . I've doubled the memory available on the server 2GB => 4GB and increased the mysql buffer size. Other than that I'm not certain...
PG and Mats scratch time again... S 2000 not so fast now!
2nd shared fastest time for Mads and PG - what are the odds? Mads is really building advantage, I wonder how long he can drive faultlessly...?
Thanks Marc, hope it will help for being faster.Quote:

We have enough physical server resources, it's just a matter of configuring things like apache and mysql to allow enough users to access at once.Quote:

ØSTBERG M. / ANDERSSON J. "I don't understand, I try to drive careful, because I haven't been in this position in the past. I don't know why other cars are so slow." from rally.cz
so i guess he doesn't take any risks yet......
that did the trick :) thank youQuote:
