Well, according to the latest information, they decided to put faster national cars between slower international cars and faster international cars. So, there was approximately one hour between the results :-)Quote:

no tactics and no bull*** solberg said :) :)
Loeb wins the super special, solberg 2nd ogier 3rd....the real rally is tommorow though.
Loeb fastest - and most relaxed. He was standing on top of that camper van watching Solberg and Östberg, saw, came and won. I like the event host flag thing Citroen's have in the roof. But the rally starts tomorrow.
Thanks kobefly!
52 entered and only 33 started????
finally we are lucky here in Greece...... :)Quote:

they got the flag wrong ??? wow.....
Drivers have critiziced the tarmac sections. I just read Lehtinen's comments from one newspaper and he commented that "for example the last 20 kilometres of El Condor is a crazy-super-fast downhill tarmac section. It would be nice to have the clerk of course in the car and then in the finish, ask whether it was funny or not."
That not what I meant liking about the idea behind the flag on the roof. Perhaps they'll use the Argentine flag for Finland, at least it's blue and white...Quote:

Zebra markings for the Safari....Quote:

Well done Argentina :)
if my calculations are accurate we have 50 minutes until the start of the rally.
That is correct, 40 minutes to go now.
Finally I get to the office and half rally day isn't gone!
That is right Kobefly, i is nice!!
Regarding superspecial, it was a nic one, as it used to be the "Camping San Martin" one back in the 90īs
Regarding El Condor stage, the first part is an amazing special, as a driver frst and as espectator also, one of te isonocs of Argentina Rally, probably the msot famous one.
The new part, the tarmac section, has some fast parts, but it is mainly a twisty mountain downhill section.
I have made some 5 timeste gravel down from El condor to Copina, and some 10 times the tarmac sections (the times I went to spectate to copina, not going up to El Condor) and I assure it is a challenging part.
probably not good to do it with worn gravel tires and gravel suspension, but it is for sure challenging.

I wish wrc.com could have the option to show the itinerary for your timezone.
It's easy to check the local time at http://timeanddate.com/ and after that to count the time difference

It is not convenient all the time convert time in the head :dozey:
same time for hirvonen and ogier
That would be progressive. But among so many other things I would like to see from wrc.com, that would be good feature. Or even get the itinerary published before the actual day the rally starts.Quote:
