Or a case of stupid rules, that only allow grave crews for factory drivers???Quote:

I haven't seen any post from him since early September. And it is true, no matter whether you agree or disagree, he is missed. :)Quote:

Congratulations Seb & Daniel, proud to be French... Nice to have been lucky enough to witness such achievement.
Also thank you for bringing so many people to watch and be interested in rally. if you hadn't be so successful, i am not sure any french tv would have bothered covering the rally. So big thanks for that!
Now let's enjoy the last 2 rounds, and can't wait for 2013.
Congrats again, and to Jari Matti and Mikko...
I've been out of contact all day so just caught up with the final stages. Mssrs Loeb and Elena have created a record which is unlikely ever to be equalled. Neuville now looks ready to be a number 2 in a works team. Chardonnet getting a point despite all his problems and stopping to assist Nasser is outstanding. Sad for Dani but imagine he'll give it all in Catalunya. So now Seb L can drive how he likes the showdown in Sardinia with JML should be something special ;)
Hayden Paddon's off as viewed from the onboard camera is on his facebook page. Such a simple thing causes so much dissapointment for any other time one would expect to get away with it.
There are videos online from Viasat and MotorsTV of coverage. MotorsTV has Colin Clark and Julian Porter. Viasat has Paul King.
indeed! lots of people were running there standing a bit further down the road. most people standing beside me (and me too) slowed down the next cars.Quote:

The same thing almost happened to Chardonnet.

is this the same corner as arzeno? look like it
looks like but i don't think so. (no safety strips on the left of the road before the bend for arzeno's video) The place of chardonnet 's video is called Florivals
hereīs my video from rallye the france:

thatīs not the same corner. but gilbert must have crashed at same spot as arzeno in the first run, from what i heard.
I don' t think so, Chardonnet has his moment at friday on ss2 and Arzeno crashed out saturday if I'm not mistaken.Quote:

Edit: I'm mistaken. You are right darkstar, both Gilbert and Arzeno crashed on the same stage, Quentin on the first loop and Arzeno on the second.
hereīs my video from rallye de france alsace:

just seen a video of JML mini off during Saturday. Video is in facebook:
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=424616717596273
he is VERY lucky that he finished the rally after that. It could well be another disappointing result from him even though he was competitive pace-wise
is there any rally for Jari without mistake?Quote:

Yes.
another incident here with Al-Rajhi
Rallye de France 2012 - Yazeed Al-Rajhi - YouTube
Lucky.
But he is getting better and better. Learning now how to drive before getting a WRC car
N.O.T is probably too busy protesting against the stupid Euro-countries giving aid and demanding budget cuts for Greece :)
Al-Rahji is starting to impress me. Assumed he was more money than talent but starting to gather speed.Quote:

The positive is that he had Jean-Joseph to teach him. ;)Quote:
