do we have video for the error in JML corner?
Perhaps he needs Denis back!

Well, just before the corner there was a lot of water. Rain started on the previous night already and more rain in the morning. It looked to me that he loosed the car on the standing water already. Such places are usually noted by safety crew.Quote:

I hope somebody's watching the SWRC stage times this year in a search for a driver to sponsor (or hire for a team!).Quote:

Offcourse not only Novikov had hot moments, JML has them too like always

I think PG made it hard for himself to win SWRC. Drives too hard in the Proton but very spectacular.
Plan9: Yes I think so to but I think that the Protons do not have same speed as the Fabia and Fiesta sadly. I think that PG had drove much much faster if he had compete in a Skoda or Ford...
But it will be a great fightin Spain! :)
Breen at 93p and PG at 91p! :)
He's a very lucky boy to finish after that - didn't realise it was such a severe impact. Lucky not to damage suspension or steering at all, or anything when the back of the car crashed down too. Malcolm wouldn't be a happy bunny if JML and Petter had both retired again!Quote:

What he has done this year is impressive and very smart, with keeping the car on the road in all rallies and collecting podiums and lots of points. Actually he has had two big offs this year, but the have both come in national rallies in Norway and the Czech Republic. So he has been trying out the margins in lesser important events and not pushed over the limit in WRC. He is not very experienced with tarmac, but his stagetimes in France shows that he is getting much better. And the fight for fourth place with Neuville (a tarmac specialist) the last day in France shows that he is not afraid to challenge the more experienced guys.Quote:

Plus the accident in Rally Bohemia was more a little stupid mistake with a bad result than something from overdriving. Such things just happen from time to time.Quote:

It would have been a big one if he had lost it there
Nah, probably just scratches on his car. The first one looks lot bigger moment - he was very lucky twice there.Quote:

Quite a few of the other young drivers are definitely much more accident prone than Mads, without being faster than him. I saw in one other thread someone mentioning that Mads Østberg would become the new Henning Solberg. Mads has of course already exceeded H. Solberg in everything he has achieved, and in much shorter time.Quote:

A bit misunderstanding :) The plus was referring to the kind of accident - as an additional info. I didn't mean it's another one. Sorry for confusion.Quote:

But....
****ing idiots, have they never been on a stage before!?
Idiots like them cases accidents and the sport get negative publicity for assholes like them..
Jeezuz! If it didn't damage the car and freak the mind of those that have to see, I'd almost say about the idiocy "Easy come, easy go" they don't care if they live or die, why should we?---except all the harm done to the sport....Quote:
