there is a driver who won Monte,without crashing the barriers,through the car into ditches, hitting walls,and sliding to the edge without control waiting for luck.
This driver had Ogier as a competitor.Not Bouffier,and Kubica.

what do you mean about proper tyres for Meeke? Ogier had inproper tyres at all the moments we saw at ditches,barriers,walls?
why so many excuses? Believe me Ogier doesn t need them.
Re: Rallye Monte Carlo 2014
It's been a great Monte Carlo for us, everything went well again.
Accessing Turini turned out to a complete havoc for the late spectators, cars reported to be all over the roads without snow equipment. We helped a poor Estonian couple on our way back : rental car in a ditch, bag fell down and hanging on a tree near a furious river 50m below, girl frozen and crying. We drove them back down to Nice later on.
So much snow, flashes, supporters, rally cars noises, hectic night ambience. We guessed second pass would probably be cancelled due to snow, didn't expect Melicharek to interfere but it worthed every effort and careful plannning. A must see live.
Re: Rallye Monte Carlo 2014
I don't know if the counters are not working, but apparently vastly less interest in Monte this year on this forum;
last year: 2813 posts, 281298 views
this year: 1831 posts, 54292 views
Because Loeb has gone? But I would have thought Kubica and Hyundai would have added some interest this year.
Re: Rallye Monte Carlo 2014
I remember that big part of last year Monte thread was occupied by season 2013 news.. this year it is betterly organized. las year there was this "like" button as well. Maybe it counted each click as a view? And If I remember correctly.. last years edition lasted for more days (competitive).

As Stafanvv said to me when I foolishly mentioned Ogier going wide at that hairpin -

What do you expect with slicks on slush?
Stefan, you defend Ogier too much with silly excuses and as Dimviii mentioned, look at the facts.
Meeke did not have proper tyres all the time and he did make some mistakes, luckily none that influenced his result.
Re: Rallye Monte Carlo 2014
Nah, Ogier doesn't need my support, I just responded for some exaggorated mistakes he has done, like we saw everyone can make mistakes, I have no idea why only Ogier was so severely blamed for them. Because he won again?

Thoughts and pictures to follow!
Re: Rallye Monte Carlo 2014
Nothing is exaggerated. Ogier said himself he was lucky, period.
Being in the crowd and watching the cars wouldn't tell much about current classification : Ogier drove in front of us like a badly skilled butcher, yeah, call that 'raw' speed. Bouffier was everywhere and Hirvonen looked quick (sic).
