Østberg testing today
Nice interview with Ogier, thanks.
Still none the wiser about where his future lies, although he does sound less likely to retire.

Oh yes. Stats from 2013 onwards clearly confirm your statement is 100% correct.Quote:

Their press release before Turkey just came out and mentions they did a test for Turkey in southern France. Doesn't say when.Quote:

Weather in Wales has been poor since August after 3 months of hot and dry Summer.
It's gone into real Autumn weather already and no sign of it improving. Rally GB could be more like the traditional event of wet and windy.
You should try and read the forecast Eddie. It's looking like dry and bright spells when the rally is on.Quote:

They aren't saying it will be precisely 15 degrees with a light shower between 1:00 and 1:30, Timmy... more that dry, fine weather will prevail... which is the opposite of Eddie's 'poor weather continuing'.Quote:

After 3 days it is normally very difficult to handle all variables that affect weather in a proper way. You can check in a spaghetti map, the forecast from different weather models. This will indicate how far these forecasts are from each other. The further they are the "unforecastable" is the weather. Check these images: the first one a prediction for today and the second one the prediction for 5 days in advance
https://www.upload.ee/image/8970822/5-day.gif
Now Imagine what it would look like 13 days in advance.
Feel free to play around with the model here:

you obviously haven't been in a welsh forest... the ground holds water very well... a dry spell won't do shit...Quote:

I pulled you up because the forecast for when the rally is on says it will be bright, sunny spells, not the poor weather you claim. And regarding the 'no signs of improving' bit... the weather has been relatively dry and bright since you said there was no signs of it improving.
Were you just making something up to say, or did you you actually read a forecast?
Jesus, calm down ! I just stated how poor the weather has been and the previous promises of good weather havent materialised.Quote:

Why are they wasting 1/4 test days with Loeb?Quote:

Was thinking the same. Maybe they are not testing in Spain at all...Quote:

He's missing one part in the diffuser. Last year Citroen seemed to have a very "flappy" diffuser on all jumps, this year it seems more rigid, maybe this leads to more breakage.Quote:
