They love to watch crashes. Simple as that. I'm not a fan of "professional spectators", but atleast they are really fast to lift you back to the road.Quote:

Which is not in the rules as a written hard limit - it's arbitrary as per FIA's recommendation case by case.Quote:

Breen (moved 2 places) and the other drivers that were close to their competitors on Friday and moved up/closed small gaps, like Østberg, Tanak and Paddon.
Meeke had good gap from friday and the differences vs Latvala on Saturday were too big to be only due to road postion.
Why do you have to see Meeke in everything I wonder.
Yet they cancelled the Sweden SS after 137 km/h average on first run.Quote:

Honestly, it doesn’t make sense to still label Neuville as an asphalt driver. He started on it (like Ogier) but he’s in top level WRC since ’12 and has proven can be equally fast both on gravel and on tarmac. Hopefully this year title will be decided on Rally Australia last stage (fingers crossed) but Neuville has been the fastest guy around (more overall wins and SS’s wins) and Ogier recent results are showing he’s only at the front because of Neuville early season mistakes.Quote:

Seven-tenths slower than Latvala on stage and the gap between them widens to 8.5sec. "I was fast and the time is bad. I can't understand it. I was fully on the limit and had no moments. That's why I am surprised the is so bad."
Maybe it's because Latvala has 10 years experience more than you Esapekka? Take that second place which is gold at your 4th event in a WRC.
First part is exactly so - in the past seasons Ogier has led all statistics (wins, podiums, points, stage wins, stages in rally lead) with handsome lead. This season same honor rests at Neuville's lap or, at worse, he's tied with Ogier.Quote:

very smooth excursion by Tanak.
'Ghost cars', is this 2005 or something?
wow, Meeke faster than Tanak. Drive like old Kris :)
Halfway through the live stage and my best mate calls me up crying saying she's lost her job and needs me to come over now. Nooooo! T_T
Nice commentary by the new guy. Definitely not missing Mike Chen's girlish overreacting.

Latvala stopped!!
I'm bet on Latvala for Top3 ((( think it's guarantee
So sad for Latvala.
Ouch, gotta hurt for Latvala.
Fuck this. Fucking hell. Poor Latvala.

WRC is so cruel at times.
what happened to Latvala? Mechanical issue?
Technical issue....gutted for Latvala, didn't deserve this...on a more positive note, everybody moves up a spot.Quote:

Stunning drive by Lappi after seeing Latvala stopped. What a star.
Absolutely love him, so humble & modest, superstar!Quote:

Incredible comments by Lappi, such a humble guy. Makes you wonder what Ogier or Neuville would have said.Quote:

Really bad luck for Latvala.He manages to have a clean season after so many problematic efforts the previous years, only to be let down by mechanical failures.If anything happens to Neuville, you can call Ogier the luckiest man alive...
