Frankly I don't know what tyres Loeb had for the final 2 stages of the Rally. I just know VW drivers saved their tyres whole 3 days, to be able to finish the Rally properly

I wanted to tell you that first two passes were not that bad at all as the third would have been. Yes, these were difficult conditions but not undriveable. Who crashed?
Novikov? he did the same in Spain and twice in France in 2012, both in a really bad conditions. This is the area he still needs to practice a lot.
Latvala? He does it in every kind of conditions and with different car makes ;-)
Hänninen? 0 practice on wet snow conditions. sh*t happens.

Tyres, look at Novikovs studs. I didnt see any missing studs after his crash. they were ok. Same about Latvala. That means, speed was not OK.

In overall, it was veeery nice, spectacular and interesting rally.
Did you noticed that 6 different car makes made it to top 10? Citroen, VW, Ford, Skoda, Peugeot, Mini!

I must admit, this is surprise for me (didn't check the whole 10)

As for Novikov's studs after the crash, they just look too worn for me, in a matter of speaking - completely ineffective.

You dont know how many tyres left for Citroen,but vw was able to finish the rally properly.....with Latvalas 2 flat tyres,and Ogiers driving style more aggresive than Loebs...

One solution solves it all - Summer time and the livin' is easy!

No white stuff, cold, ice, icicles, ruts all the fuss etc., but... little or no drama at all.

Then again - Not good, huh!

Not Citroen - Loeb. Perhaps he could finish the Rally properly too, but I'm not convinced for the whole team. And Ford were probably in the worst condition, but agree, Latvala with 2 punctures was worse than Ogier in tyre choice

Proper tyres for every possible weather should be a must i RMC. This time it was stupidity from the beginning.

Now goodnight everyone.
