Wrc Rally Argentina 2013

Imagine how scared the french are if they have collapsed to so miserable and obvious methods. Now their fans must hide for at least a month if they have a small drop of dignity left.

Well theories are just theories, until got proved. But I'm not the only one - even Loeb has them sometimes ;) (I can't quote you right now which Rally and year it was, but he was blaming Hirvonen I think)

Have you ever tried to drive a rally car with intercome on and hear a car behind you? This is the game and drivers risk to drive 10th on the road.

What? Are You serious? No, You don't see back on gravel (badly even on asphalt because the S2000/WRC mirrors are very shaky) and You don't hear anything from outside especially if it's 200 meters behind You. Please don't write pure nonsenses.

There was one when Mikko was blocking Sordo, until he hit his bumper Mikko didn't notice Sordo's car and that was on tarmac rally as far as I remember. So it's not that uncommon and it's not that easy to spot other car behind you.

Such situation also always bring crazy theories. Always the same song...

Maybe there was no radio coverage or Matton was too "busy" to take the call. No big deal, long way to go.

So you are telling me there's no way you can hear a second engine behind you for a 3-4km stretch and you don't even dare to take a quick look to see if someone's there, since you are losing minutes (!) because you're driving so slow after a crash AND you know very well Loeb could catch up to you? THAT, my friend, is pure nonsense!

From I have seen there is nothing suspicious, both cars are quite far apart, Sordo was driving quite fast taking on damages to the car I would say normal stage speed, couldn't notice Ogier behind him on that section we have seen.
