there has to be something laying under this one. Getting down corner speeds for safety is the obvious one.
no decision is very right.Quote:

Sometimes you get the young photogs and they do silly things. Last I remember at Rally Australia in 2010 a release was sent on where a few photographers were positioned. I know for a fact that having a Media Bib/Vest on does NOT give you the right to stand anywhere you want. You have to think of safety first. You'd be stupid not to!Quote:

You're talking for yourself now... ;) I use the media safety book (it's not THAT thick) mostly to avoid going to places where many other photographers are going. In general the local occasional photographers are the ones with no sense of danger (being on completely mad places) and no respect for public (for example going to stand straight in front of them 10 minutes before a stage starts while the public is waiting on that place for over an hour, while the photographer could well be on a few meters more to left or right, where he does not annoy the public and would give him even better photos). But ok... In some way it's a useless discussion because nothing is going to change anyway, not before someone is hit by a rallycar...Quote:

at championship Mads is 4 points ahead of Jari.
At the positions they are now, Jari is taking 18 points and Mads 15 points.So everything is going to decided at power stage seems.
no gifts at next bets for anybody. :DQuote:

I really hope Mads can become 3rd in the championship, he made a lot of improvement this year, especially on asphalt. Really fast and consistent driver, really deserves a factory seat...
Mads only getting 12 points at the moment in 4th place surely?Quote:

EDIT 2: Too bad for Weijs. Glad everybody are ok
http://sphotos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto...56726140_n.jpg Weijs his car, could be worse.
Santa Marina 2 will be the power stage.26,51 km
There is a Citroen guy knealing down in the first pic, with a laptop connected to what appears to be a speed measuring device, on a tripod. Has anybody noticed this before? Looks to me like a good place to measure car acceleration all the way down that long straight (I know this stage, you get way up into sixth gear there, from 1st or 2nd gear depending on the driver). Interesting to see where you stand. If that is indeed the case I would looove to see the results of the top 10 cars.Quote:

Yes, I did noticed that, but had no idea who and what for is that. Thank you for sharing this, it would be interesting such statistics, but I have not seen such ever except some fan made in Germany this year...Quote:
