Well maybe he forgot :)
But the Swedish stages will be first time methinks.

Neuville is in the beginning of learning, not Sandell !

In completely different situation when he made a looot from starting position. After first service he was naturally only loosing positions. Plus he was with a car he drove already for two years...

It´s very much Ketomaa here and Prokop there and we have Sandell, first time in WRC-car on 7 th. Not bad, is it??

Sandell did already some smaller rallies in a Fabia WRC, so it is not the first time for him in a WRC car.

It´s first time in Mini. Neuville drove Monte, didn´t he? Fabia is not Mini. When you talk about Hirvonen and changing to Citroen it´s very much about how he faces the new car and so on. Same for Sandell. First time in Mini. That´s it!

... or maybe he had in mind the place itself he was standing on while giving the interview. :D

I didn't even mention about Neuville and Hirvonen... You said that it was his first time in a WRC (World Rally Car) and that isn't right.

Potentially a good time for Petter

Sorry, but there was network (peering) problem, not server fall. But now should be everything fine yet.

Petter is not to bad :)

Petter waking up, partly thanks to the tyres?

Many drivers complaining to have very few studs left.

Looking good for Ford, Petter catching up even Mikko.

Nope, that was either ss2 or 3.

Hirvonen losing a couple of seconds...

JML now 17.2 ahead :D

2.8 between Mikko and Petter, game on.

so expecting a crash tomorrow morning

Loeb loosing two minutes is very good for the competition. Now he can´t just cruise. It will be interesting to see him going really flat out tomorrow.

Please Mikko don't let you catch by Petter and lose terrain on JM !!! :mad:

Too bad for Ostberg he's not on the pace 100%. He had the most preparation of all drivers for this event.

:D no, just have a good memory :cool:

Wow, that was quite impressive from Solberg. Up until now the biggest difference between 1st and 2nd on a stage was 3.3, now Solberg wins by 7.4!

Might be road position had something to say due to the sun going down, but there's only Novikov between Solberg and Latvala and here up north the sun doesn't really go down in 5 mins it's rather that light slowly changes during more than 1 hour.

Loeb 6th already... 4th s very realistic...

Petter also has a home in Torsby + PSWRCTEAM has their address in Torsby.

But he won't be abe to do better than 6th overall if nothing happens in front :mark:

Catching Novikov will be easy... Ostberg will be a challenge but i think somemone from the front will do something stupid.

As I said before, have you not rally radio. Petter has preserved tires all the time. This can be decisive throughout the rally

Ogier will be in front of Mikkelsen again I think.

Ogier ahead of Mikkelsen once more.... Mikkelsen some kind of problem.

Maybe he did it on purpose to have the splits of Ogier...

No tyres for Mikkelsen he wasted them on the previous one...

Yes

Same problem as half of the crews through - lost studs.

MIKKELSEN A. / FLOENE O. (st. č. 62) "Good day, but I think I was little bit too agressive on tyres and thus lost on this one."

Anyway I though Grondal can be close to Pajunen but in fact he is quite nowhere near him.

And I must admit I expected much worse performance from Al Rahji.

well he will have that anyway Ogier will start in the P1/P2 bunch, but it is quite a lot darker now in the forest than 20-30 mins earlier.
