By the end of the day Loeb will be ahead of the s2000 if all go normal....and tommorow hw can launch his attack and be at least top 5...but it certainly is going to be much harder than previous years.

To me this is exciting and that is all that matters!!!
Surprised by Petter's pace. I wrote Mikko off as a contender, clearly he has re-found his confidence (balls). Good too see
As the only non-Norwegian (2 have predicted him to win) to put Mads in a podium place (2nd) in their Pickem I'm feeling pretty smug. Henning, PG and PS also in my top 10. Maybe people will now revise their views of Henning's ability. Rest of the rally is going to be fascinating. Had to laugh at the WRC site 'experiencing higher than normal activity' - NSS!!
Narrow escape for the spectators as well at PG's crash!

Completely agree. I said in another thread a few weeks ago that I wouldn't be surprised to see Henning win an event this year. The new car suits his style, and I think he is almost as fast as Petter and Mikko, but without the composure and consistency. If Mikko can win events, then I think Henning can.Quote:

Ostberg is sweeping snow tomorrow. Other drivers catch him then.Quote:

yes, may be it's the cleverness of the big boys...

1-2-3-4 for the fords.... the table is turned.

next stage is live
Any link for live stage ?
no i mean next stage started...not live on tv
I understand its a specialist event and that Loeb is sweeping the road, but it makes me smile that he is being beaten by 2 non-turbo s2000 cars
According to some, and himself too, he should be good on asphalt :) we just havent seen it yet. Lets hope fiesta suits him better, like it should.Quote:

Loeb faster than Latvala on the splits. Solberg pretty slow.
I thought so ... :) It is a fact that Henning likes the aggressive Fiesta S2000/WRC more than the lazy Focus , so I think 99% that his results will improve this yearQuote:

By the way, he uses some English words on his pacenotes, right? I heard some "brake", "sixty", "in"...
He has no time too lose.Quote:

do not bother with wrc.com ...they are only good for providing splits all other stuff they have are garbage
