He is occasionally back now but is mostly inactive (alive and well and living in Oxford). It happened before I became a mod

For sure, better if both stay on the road and have a nice battle until the end of the rally. :)

Any guess what the fastest time will be for Ouninpohja 2? :D

nice splits by mads!

Wow!!!! What a shortcut Mads and Thierry found from last corner of the stage!!! Alen as commentator is mad because Finns didn't found it :D

You are not missing much. Propably one of the worst live rally broadcasts ever seen. Would be worst if Markku Alen would not be there. The host (Timo Pulkkinen) is an F1 commentator and does not know anything about rally. For example Lukyanuk was presented like he is a gentleman tourist driver...

personally, I'd say give him the chance.

Nikara deservs more rally´s and with better wrc car.

This is how the legend of Finland dies. Not a Finnish guy on the podium. And few stage wins. And a possibility of any of the non Finnish to win. Huh

The good thing is that the fastest guys are on top. Be they from France or where ever.

It only showed the results from the stage last time it was on unfortunately.

Thierry Neuville @ Tommi Mäkinen Racing rally school 2012 - YouTube

That's all I'm saying :P

:D Neste Oil Rally Finland 2013 - Police stopping Novikov - YouTube

I think the highlights of the rally so far are Nikara he is driving Mini, a car that Prodrive nearly stopped developing it and showing that pace. I am sure the car has the potential if they continue developing it and at the hand of a talented driver we will see something incridible. Kris Meeke deserve a seat in a WRC team/manufacturer. Sordo, I never believed this guy has a potenial to win a rally, years of driving and nothing impressive. I wish either of Nikara or Meeke take his place at Citroen.

Apparently this channel is broadcasting, works on stream 1 for me and press allow on the p2p thing. Better than nothing :)

I know, should have better put something above it that Kruuda parked his car in the forests :p

Neuville going very well on splits again.

Wouldn't it only be logical that a R5 car should in theory be easily quicker then a NA? Just curious on peoples opinion.

In regards to Paddon, I'm a big fan of his, but I think in this rally and with this new formula it's harder then ever to diagnose who is actually the quickest! Ketomaa is consistently 0.8ish secs a k faster then Paddon. But in completely different cars. Would Paddon be equal for speed if he were in the same car? I think he would. And once you take into account that Ketomaa is on home soil, it really does goes to show how fast Hayden is.

Exactly - we don't really know speed differences between S2000, R5 and RRC. Kubica putting in a good drive, but how good I have no idea as no-one else has driven DS3 RRC in anger...

Neuville faster with a puncture..

Neuville took it easy at end of stage, thinking he had a puncture :eek:

Did anyone notice there is live GPS tracking for vetomies competition?

Thats what he posted in twitter, but I think he is not involved with ITV4 coverage. Will the Power Stage shown live in NesteOilRally Live ?

Looooool, Andreas Amberg, fantastic. He's a real Finn, those short answers on the podium made the interviewer feel very uncomfortable. :D

0,1s difference before Ouninpohja. Game on! :D

What a fight between those two FORD drivers. Hope none of the two will go off.

The only little problem I have with Neuville is the fact he's not from the Dutch speaking part of Belgium, otherwise is would have been perfect. :D

Actually he speaks a little Dutch (or at least he tries), besides French, English and German, 5 years ago he spoke German and that was it. ;)

Nikara repairing his Mini after ss 21. Not looking good
