That was for asphalt only I think

Now I did, I didn't while writing it ;) Yes, Novikov's one can be considered more lucky, at least didn't crash that heavily and still drove couple of more kms :)

And yet again, your point is not valid at all. It's like sayin' that I have driven vehicles 50 years, hence I am better (faster) driver than you.
Yes, you have some experience, but to me your comments are at least stubborn and with no logic (well, twisted logic) to me.

Yes, it was a pity that stages were cancelled, but to say that only RMC was to blame is ridicilous as there were several and severe factors which caused this decision to happen.

And I find amusing that to some people always there has to be someone to blame. It's life, get over it now.

Yep, I will. Things could have been handled in a different way. They didn´t. We all know one carmaker won to that. The attending people on the two last stages, and not talking about you and me sitting at home, were disappointed.

Many aspects in same subject. You´re in the game then it´s only to play. The organizer knows the safety issues very well. But didn´t take care of it in many ways they could have done.

Now I´m leaving the subject and looking forward to Rally Sweden, among many regarded as the fastest rally of them all (with proper tyres) ;)

Do You know that narrow winter tyres are allowed in RMC? All 2WD cars use them. Why 4WD can't is a question but I doubt it's because of the organization. Why there are no proper rain asphalt tyres in WRC? Because FIA allows only one pattern for all asphalt tyres or 4WD cars. Remember how in Ireland drivers used snow tyres because they had no appropriate rain tyres and they were not allowed to cut those they had? Was it a mistake of the Irish? I guess the real reason is in FIA and in their sometimes strange decisions.

By the way You can't use Swedish studs with asphalt surface bellow ice and snow. Those tyres would be destroyed in just few kilometers plus there would be a lot of damage to the roads.

It is OK for Swedish type tyres used here, unacceptable, but I still think this could be handled little better - more tyres with studs to be allowed when the conditions are as such, or may be even narrow tyres could be better. For just one purpose - safety

Hi All !
I don't often leave comments on the forum but follow all the experts regularly. At the beginning of the rally this forum had over 800 people following it. That's brilliant but also not good news for the WRC as it means that all those people couldn't find what they needed on the WRC site or any other official media.
To the Rally... S Loeb as brilliant as ever. S Ogier Good drive and with a new car and a regular drive. Then the rest Sordo very good too. makes you wonder how many rallies he would already won without team rules. Hirvonen, very disapointing, very slow but not supprising, JM Latvala, disapointing but service as usual. Then to the Ford boys. More proof that M Wilson chooses the drivers by the lack of money he has/the amount of money drivers or sponsors bring. Neuville, useless, Novikov OK but back to crashing, Ostberg, painfully slow and he's the N°1 driver! Hanninen, finally given his chance but very irregular. Peter Solberg must have been laughing all weekend and thanking Qatar for chucking him out. He is lucky not to be in such an amateur team. The Ford team used to joke about always picking him up with the brake down truck but it seems different drivers same result. Must be the team then.
Finally, great photos, videos, info from everyone on the site. Keep it up for WRC 2013, you're all great. Thanks.
