if i understood atkinson right, he went off the stage, and got stuck, spectators had to push him out of there.

Ok, very witty. But how can it be a good thing for WRC if there is less interest amongst motorsport fans in it's opening round than the "other" series?Quote:

Can u tell us why do you hate IRC and this 'babyfrog' called Ogier please?Quote:

Sincerest apologize that we bit discussed about WRC vs. IRC in this thread :)
I like the sport of rallying and follow both series' but there are many things WRC could learn from IRC and maybe will eventually.Quote:

You're just another scandianavian struggling with your own being beaten by the french, get used to it, cause Seb2 will be the real deal before JML ever grows up :)Quote:

goes pretty much offtopic here...
the livestream is running now...
Haha, yeah!Quote:

Nice bit of car control from Seb sliding it sideways through the streets. Extremely short stage though. Well done to Seb anyway!
So, lets talk about rally itself.
anyone noticed that Gallagher is missing? What happened?
And I am so happy about entertainers that Citroen junior team brought to us all their drivers went off at least once:-) and they did it quite spectacularly..
of course in a competition whereQuote:

Back on topic. Nice special stage and nice action. I hope they keep on offering live coverage.
All tarmac events should be made to use snow tyres.
Ogier went off? Or did he entertain anyone??? But he will be there for the majority of the season, while Atkinson...Quote:

Here it is a bit unlear as well, but the normal definition is that Denmark, Sweden and Norway is Scandinavia - add Finland and Iceland and you have the Nordic Coutries.
Live coverage not working for me, i get sound but no picture :(
Right, sorry...Quote:

I'll be the first to congratulate Henning on a great result, consitent driving and even a little bit of pace! The amount of punctures he gets is unreal as well!
Other than Henning, well doen Ogier on finishing a hard event, and to AlQassami on his first points.
How many rallys did Al-Qassimi do in a WORKS team before he scored a point?
Loads, but for a terrible driver he did well to finsih and get a point.
And he was quicker than Wilson on some stages..........Quote:

Btw.: Will be somebody else on stages? Hope our friends "from north", it means Norway, Sweden, Finland etc., be there :)
The championship whould have a real swing up if we only could take away rautenbach, wilson and quassimi and replace them with other drivers as duval, galli, atkinson or somethingQuote:
