Was it required by organisers to do doughnuts in that roundabout? Because I have seen a video that every driver did it!Quote:

Yes that was a special requirement (on an info note on RACC website) to improve spectacle for spectators at that roundaboutQuote:

You can see that Petter knows it well (as do all the experienced guys - it used to be part of the shakedown route)
Latvala gets the big OLE from the Spanish crowd :DQuote:

Alternatively it can mean that the Citroens were usually so far ahead after Day1 they could cruise to the end allowing Ford to set the majority of stage wins for 66% of the rallyQuote:

Not sure my English am much betterer ;) (that's the problem with being a Londoner!) However, I thought that your point didn't need extensive calculation to prove what everyone has been able to see this year. Whether it was a crash or a tyre mis-management that left Citroen way out in front, Ford were allowed to drive like crazy while Loeb and Hirvonen (to a lesser extent) could afford 3rd and 4th best stage times for days 2&3 of most rallies.Quote:

that puzzled me too.Remember that after a same accident with barrier the right both wheels were f@#$d.At this video they are in their positionQuote:

This is from the previous stage indeed (before retiring) and the crashes look similar (like the corners), but second was little more brutal and bent the barrier more, also the place was little further after the cornerQuote:

My Catalunya musings
Why do Spanish kids dress like New Age Eco-Warriors but leave litter everywhere?
Is it possible to get passive stoned from the non-stop dope smoking around you.
How many times does Loeb sign his name during each rally?
Will the Spanish marshals ever learn how to marshal a rally correctly
Have surgeons yet perfected a procedure for removing a whistle from an anus that has been inserted without aid of lubricant ?
How can weather change so much over 4 days - all four seasons
If Wales was too wet in November which fool at the FIA thought Catalunya would be different?
Why was Weijs so sideways while Nikara was so correct on his lines? - Totally different to my expectation
Who recruits the 'talent' for the Citroen hospitality hostesses?
Just how smooth is Loeb, at Pesells he didn't lose time off the ground while all the other top drivers seemed to cock at least 1 wheel.
Megaphones, see earlier comment about whistles.
Seb O so friendly and engaged with the fans after shakedown, really impressed me.
The Citroen crew stripping Hirvonen's car at flexiservice really impressed me.
Mads has a dry sense of humour - at the Friday evening top 3 interview JML said pulling back 47 sec would be difficult. Mads grinned and just nodded his head. It was great to see him there without gifts.
Just how great is the scenery around Cornudella de Montsant, driving above the clouds on Saturday morning - great pasticcia shop with coffee machine in the village too.
Thanks once again to Priorat for his inside information, sorry we didn't meet. Great to see Rage82 at Santa Marina stage
- I'll be back!
Exactly my thoughts during the rally. Nice one Mintex!Quote:

Amazing photo but really dangerous position of photographers there. For sure their photos would not be as spectacular as this one!
It's not that amazing exactly because of them standing there :( Danger aside...Quote:

You are welcome. I'm happy that all you came to Catalunya enjoyed the scenary as well as the rally itself. In the end there was no Friday for me due to work so only tarmac this year.
Thank you dimvii
This user has uploaded videos of each driver separately. It's interesting. These are the Loeb's images:

During the rally I updated a gallery at eWRC.cz.
Photos are online at our website now too!
