Solberg's on the move. Perhaps another appointment with a snowbank.
Petter is moving again.. puhhh
nice attack by hirvonen...Loeb overcautious or just playing...you can never tell with the current starting order system.
Petter's 4 minutes down. Latvala had a moment at the end of the stage?
I don;t know if i like the latvala of the old better than this one......maybe ford told him that manufacturers title is important this year.
LATVALA J.-M. / ANTTILA M. "It's very very slippery, we had a spin and had to reverse."
from rally.cz
Is that the driver (P. Solberg) that goes for the podium this rally and for a victory this year? :p
If they did, they ought to re-attend their math classes. Ford's number two should be able to beat Citroen's number two on this rally as it'll be reverse on tarmac events which we'll have plenty of this year.Quote:

maybe they think that Sordo will not avoid mistakes since he wants somethi9gn to prove this year (like latvala tried to do so last year)Quote:

May be - but it's a gamble and with Sordo's past record it's big gamble.Quote:

Definitely the Latvala of old as you put it was much more enthralling to follow, but his situation is underlined to bring the points back to homebase and thus support Mikko, and this year he's more determined to do it than ever. He've tried it earlier, of course with off course results. We'll see how it goes this season, but I'd take it as a success if he manages to keep in on the road and ahead of Sordo - and not to loose more of his speed while learning to do so.Quote:

WRC is a racists sport....i am disgusted !!! How can they not have splits for the bestest oversized cart driver and future legend of rallying and whole world who will dominate everything ??
i demand Boudica guy to post a wall of text about this now....
Listening to the drivers on the 2nd round of stages, it will be the last time the Swedish championship is allowed to do their round together with the WRC round.
The stages are to damaged for the 2nd round for the WRC cars by the sound of it !
What stage are we at? Listening to it on wrc.com. Cannot make out what is happening.
SS5
SOLBERG P. / MILLS P. "We went off the road and lost a lot of time. I'm trying too hard."
I would be surprised if we don't see at least a couple more retirements among the front-runners by the end of the day if conditions are like this.
Shame for Marcus, good splits, but in the last part of the stage: GRÖNHOLM M. / RAUTIAINEN T. (st. č. 5) "We missed a junction, lost about 15 seconds." / "Přejeli jsme odbočku, nechali jsme tam asi 15 sekund."
They said that in the past too.Quote:

What happened to Østberg?
Was off and has oil pressure troubles.
how good are the pensions in norway for rally drivers ???
When have they said that in the past? Swedish Championship haven´t been driving with WRC before, 2008 SM was cancelledQuote:

In 2008: that they will never let drive again the Swedish drivers in the same weekend as the WRC round.
Everyone is missing the same junction at the end of the stage :D
Ramona off again...
Try to learn to spell your favorite´s name!Quote:
