hairpin right, opens!

I'm sorry to say, but Trivino is BAD.
It wasn't a puncture, he broke the wheel rim and lost the air by running and hitting some rocks inside the corner. Unlucky yesterday but this time seems he pushed his luck a little... OK he still got in 3rd place again so only time loss.Quote:

Abbring on SS16?
Where is Abbring....?
there has been some corrections made on Tänak`s time SS16.
apparently no brakes nearing the end of the stage. :(Quote:

This was the stone JML hit in the middle of a bend. What can a driver do? Just push on and hope for no damages.

His cars looks to be stopped exactly on the half way between split 8 and 9. just at the end of very long left hand corner. Next corner is to the right.Quote:

And a picture of his car with the bonnet open.

This time there was definitely no way around
The cause of Petter’s puncture on SS16
The nail that caused Petter's puncture earlier today on ... on Twitpic
A nail in the arse end of no where? Spectators at play again?
JML will rise above this -I'm convinced that 3rd place here with power stage points will be very important for the rest of the season.Quote:

Latvala said that he drove the stage as a practice for the Power Stage.
No, this is a healthy one. ;) Getting little old (turn 13 next summer) and have some small problems with the back legs.Quote:

You're forgetting N.O.T that 51km is such a long stage that any number of issues could arise. It's not the way you want to see positions decided but I still wouldn't put money on the top 4 staying as they are with such a long stage to come. Puncture or mechanical fault or hitting a stray dog or anything like that and positions aren't so final. It's a shame not to see a fight though.
Get used to it, the rest of the calendar wont be much different. Hirvonen in Citroen and Ogier out of the big game - it will be more boring than season 2010 :(Quote:
