Solberg is asking for a new windshield. When asked about how Colin's Crest looked: "I don't know, I couldn't see it!" #RallySweden
:D
They cancel a stage because of too high an average speed? If they mentioned a specific spot and all the drivers said that's too dangerous, fair enough, but without any further context that's ridiculous.
This one is for N.O.T.

If FIA and Redbull want to have more people driving their local WRC rounds they need to get TV time to sell the project to their sponsors! It is expensive!Quote:

to cancel the stage is stupid, however i do partially agree that the average speed is crazy, but the stage should be run this year and maybe exclude it from next year onwards.
The autistic welsh would probably include a million chicanes to ruin the stage, i really cannot see any use for them apart from digging mud pits like they used to in the old ages.
Rumors on another forum that drivers say the cars are too wide for the narrow parts of the stage. Not seen any evidance of that myself yet.

And logically thinking if they have already completed the stage once they should be able to complete it again.Quote:

average speed on Knon:
tanak: 137.8 km/h
breen: 135.2 km/h
Lefebvre: 129.3 km/h
Tidemand: 128.1 km/h
10 km/hr in average speed is huge....Quote:

Sorry my bad. Time zone tricked me.Quote:

There are even faster stages in Ypres where average speed is bellow 110 just because there is huge number of square junctions which make the roads looking way slower then they are.
To this case... They made the new cars faster so it's beyond me how can they be surprised that the cars actually go fast...
Seems caught unprepared indeed. Isn't their job to inspect each stage before the rally and make some adjustments if necessary?Quote:

I am sick of careerists whose only goal is to avoid the risk of getting responsible.
The avarage speed is not what make it dangerous, it`s the fast parts. Stages with slower avarage could have well as fast and even faster parts, just that it also haven more slower/twistier parts as well, or even the ugly heyball chicane`s. Aaah just politics fro FIA this.
AgreedQuote:

Shit happens really. Frustrating to miss out on Historics :)

What was the top speed achieved though ?Quote:

There could have been some bad bumps on the fast section that might have made it too dangerous, not the average speed alone.
top speeds are slower than they where with the 2.0 wrc cars, so that's no excuse either.Quote:
