Remember that there's another stage to go with the same tyres, isn't there? So don't make any judgements before SS2, which has totally different conditions.

If Latvala´s time stands, God bless Monte.
Is there a mistake with Latvala time?!?!? Although his interview came very close to Mikko's..... :o
wrong tires choose for Citro
Latvala 21:28.2
+28.6 Solberg
+52.7 Loeb
+1:11.3 Mikko
Great time by Latvala...
Tyre gamble works for Latvala :)
OMG, JML incredible time .....this is going to be very interesting.
Solberg on 4 slicks! Great time!
Latvala into lead over Loeb by 30 seconds. How cool is that ah?
Latvala said he was on the same two studded trick as Loeb if I got it right, Petter on four slicksQuote:

Great time by Jari-Matti!!
Season 2012 is a go!!
Dani and Novikov have both hit banks and re-arranged their suspension/steering geometry
Novikov crashing as usual...... Poor Denis Giraudet..... :(
Let’s see how the supersoft tyres work for the second run.Quote:

Well the studded tyres will have worn studs - same for Loeb and JML but I would expect the 2 in-car spares to both be ss and so I think a repeat of the morning is likely.Quote:

There is a service now guys.. who knows which tires they are going to use.
Yes but are they allowed a tyre change or can they only use the 6 they started with?Quote:

If latvala is on supersofts... will they hold for another run ? or they are going to deteriorate ?
They are allowed to take new. only problem is that now the number is tires is bit smaller.
there was no gamble its just speed. coz latvala had the same tires as loeb so its just that latvala had bigger balls... lol go go go latvala.. Go Finland.. im soo happy
Judging from te times on ss1 Cook was caught in the stage by many more than just Abbring... thank god for the 3 minute gap :D
post more please... we need people like you in here.Quote:

No they did'nt. Latvala had supersoft slicks and studs, Loeb had soft slicks and studs.Quote:

Tänak has never driven on studded tires with Fiesta WRC and studs in front, soft behind.. car was oversteering. And he also cought Henning as usual :-)
i remember Burri (or gasner ?) won a stage some long time ago in his Group N mitsubishi...Quote:
