Well, obviously there can be only one source for the original footage... Note the small WRC text down left (on JML's black seat). At first I thought that it was embroiding on a cap but that would have moved with the movements of the car so it can only be official logo superimposed onto each frame... it's not visible on cropped image above...

Yup. Broke something on the rock or weakened it there and then finally broke it on the little jump and then the car just chose to go off of it's own accord. Personally I would have said as accidents go that this one was quite gentle.

One of the main rules of a successful person: "Underpromise, but overdeliver".
In case of Latvala it's unfortunately vice versa: "Huge OVERpromise, but absolutely NO delivery"...

Do you remember Colin McRae in his early years? He was so fast too and crashed also much. Not so much years later, he was a World Rally Champion.

what happened to Flodin? :confused:
he was much faster with mitsu.

..but crashed a lot and heavily in the later years as well, in the same time he provided some of the best and spectacular driving ever! I think JML 's early career reminds a bit Mcrae to me.

I remember this. But at the same time I don't remember Colin always talking about how great he was compared to others BEFORE he actually became such and deserved saying this.

2,30 minutes faster the N4 than s1600 in 7 stages
s1600 is dying :o

Well the thing is if anyone is going to pull back it's going to be Loeb. He's second on the road at the moment so if anyone's going to play games it's him. I don't see Loeb doing that though. There is no way Mikko can afford to let off the pace.

Latvala. In any interview he's talking about how great he is, how much he learnt, and how far ahead of everybody he will be at the finish. But every time he either crashes or makes smth silly.
