P.S. Great time for Juho!!!!!
I like the times for Bouffier, another great driver who deserves a full WRC campaign.
And Sardinia 2007Quote:

At the very least, don't you think he deserves to complete an event or two without any pressure to perform?Quote:

Hänninen hits a bridge on ss2.
He won SWRC on first attempt, IRC, ERC, won most of IRC events in its history, 100% successful in NORF in S2000 category. Where were You last four years? :)Quote:

What I'd like to say that he proved what does he worth. He won IRC, SWRC, I even don't want to talk about last two years, behind Skoda wheel.Quote:

For sure, nobody says he is world champion.
I think it is all over with one stage for Lappi. He is not going to make it in time limit
iRally:
“Esapekka Lappi looks to be stopped before Split 4 at 14.5km”
Sh*t.
Edit.
"Team confirms Lappi and Ferm stopped in Škoda Fabia on Stage 2 - crew reported OK."
Mikkelsen style :)Quote:

So he has to make all his remaining 6 nominated rounds count! Conservative looks like paying dividendsQuote:

Even if the Polo is not on pair with the DS3 I think Ogier is much more of a driver than Mikko and we will make up for the deficit.
I would like to wait for normal stage conditions. Then we will see...Quote:

@sebmarshall
SS3 looking a lot drier, snow still solid in few places but mostly braking up. Black ice gone. Some mud pulled out on the cuts. Temp ~0C ideal Super Softs territory, if it weren't for next stage! Shall see what that has in store.
regardless of the result on this rally its my opinion that Hanninen is a better driver than Mikkelsen, also that a team with Ogier and Hanninen would be better than the ego clash that is likely to come from the Ogier Latvala pairing.Quote:

Greats times also for maurage,panciatici and Crugnola
Checking the results after two stages: both Sebs are (again) world for themselve. But some other names are pleasent surprises, let say: Hanninen and the old German veteran, Mr.Armin Kremer.
some guys said everyone has six studs in the car exception xxx and xx, anyone has information about top drivers' tires? thanks
