Lappi loosing 7.4s to Neuville which is about the double he lost on all stages except the one with massive spin?Quote:

That’s one (bad) example... what about everyone else? It’s a 2k stage.. how will we see bigger differences than in the earlier stages?Quote:

3rd example: Neuville lost 1.2s to Ogier, that's the same difference between him and Ogier for the morning loop (2 normal stages) and bigger than last normal stage.Quote:

Still no WRC2 cars :D WTF
Rovanperä just 0.1 behind Tänak!
What a surprise!!!!
Another fking tenth denies Kalle for getting the youngest WRC stage winner record to himself from Novikov... Ott please why do you do this :D
Not really. It´s Kalle Rovanperä after all :D.Quote:

Rather bold claim. Do you know ages of all stage winners of WRC history? Do you even know all stage winners of WRC history? I don't.Quote:

There are 258 WRC stage winners that I know and pre-1978 stage winners are mostly omitted from that list. For those 258, I know age for roughly one third of them. It's one thing to claim that Novikov is youngest that we know than to say he is youngest in WRC history.
Why are you so sure his head will be safe in Australia, if he has to sweep the road?Quote:

Probably a little more rain overnight, dry tomorrow. Temperature going up to only 12°C around noon, what tyres could they be choosing?Quote:

very well done Rovanpera, many over here were writing him off that today he would be 'eaten' by Kopecky - not yet :) even if Rovanpera wont win tomorrow, very strong performance from this VERY, VERY young man who doesnt have much tarmac experience. He just got his driving license this year! :)
That could be really interesting cause they had to nominate 16 tarmac tires out of 16H 12S and 8FW.Quote:

Dunno how to find out what they nominate.

Don't know why I get this impression, but if they ever made a remake out of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, I think Elena would be a very good Tuco. :DQuote:

Yep, it be a surprise. But most of time was gained today in tricky rain condition. He and Jan was equal on early splits and when they hit a rain - Jan come to safe side and Kalle still taking risks.Quote:
