Rally Mexico is good and unique rally an must stay in WRC. Noone is protected from idiots. They must catch some of them and put the in jail for a long time - to show to the others that there is no violance without punishment.Quote:

Cool! :-PQuote:

We should not run from the problems (problems tend to run with us), we must handle the problem.
Why dont you come and try throwing stones here, lets see what happens? My guess you spend a long time at intensive care.Quote:

Becs Williams said on her fb that there was a thunderstorm with power outages over night. That could make it interesting if the roads are wet
You can always find a place in the stage where noone cannot see you for sure. If you have bad intention, you find the way. But of course, it is harder in Finland. But to reach to that culture level you have to grow it somehow. Nothing just comes from nothing. If they can get thos bad guys in Mexico and put them in jail then everybody know what happens and react accordingly.Quote:

Why should it be removed from the calender? When spectators throw snow on the road on in the Monte , none of you all come n here saying it should be removed from the calender.
It should for same reasons.Quote:

No, minimal penalty is 10 minutes (in case you miss only one stage). If you miss more than one stage then it is 5 min for each stage. Novikov should be just behind Block. Good fight with the tourist ahead:-)Quote:

It will be interesting to see Latvalas approach...will he just cruise through the big one and save tyres for the power stage ? or he will push and hope that Loeb/Hirvonen will hit problems ?
What's interesting is that both JML and Petter are near the +2 minute mark to Loeb, which means that potentially stopping to change a tyre could drop him behind the two of them. That's why a gap of less than 2:30 with a 50km stage means the result is far from known!Quote:
