Now Twitter confirm that Paddon DID finish after all and that there is a mistake in the timings.
and why would he wait something in return then ??Quote:

Can you reply the question ? or your initial thought was based without looking at the time difference they had ????
Cheers Robbo/Chris. As usual Chris has finger on the pulse and am sure will be trying to get the timing error fixed as quick as possible!Quote:

17:51 by paddon ... good time.
Apparantly Olivera had a mssive crash like Novikov but crew is OK. I wonder if WRC/FIA should take action against Olivera because he might end up hurting himself badly if he continues in a car that is too fast for his talent.
the small one is on...
they do not have the authority...thats why i persist that WRC needs standards on driving a WRC instead of money. Kimi and Block are in the same situation as Oliveira along with many many others.Quote:

Well there are around 60,000 people from around my location who are very interested in whats happening, Rugby World Cup can wait until this is over for the dayQuote:

haha seems like the Kiwis are really counting on Paddon, it's not usual so big interest in PWRC fight... and I'm glad to see that ;)
It would be nice to see Atkinson and Paddon next year in proper rally cars...nice rivarly :)
Petter fastest so far.. are there points for this stage? Or just SS26?
Hayden winning the PWRC and becoming the 1st person from the southern hemisphere to win a a world rally title is not a matter of life or death, it is far more serious than that.Quote:

Henning Solberg has rolled. It's a pretty crazy rally this one.
a nice 1-2-3 pre-test for the Citroen team.
henning rolled
going again
Ogier 10sec penalty for jump start at ss22
Paddon & Atkinson could have a WRC drive tomorrow...........as long as they bring plenty of £$£$£$£$£.....
I only wish there were more seats available for talent, rather than money.....
I have said this for years. F1 has the Superlicence, so rallying should have something similar, even at a national level. But policing it and enforcing it would be tough. The teams would kick up a stink saying that it would interfere with their commercial activities unfortunately.Quote:

And there is the whole problem with the sport......not new, but totally depressing. Where are all these new Manufacturers..????Quote:
