I see Old F post as a fitting response to an insulting post.....he didn't randomly insult a whole country or like that Greek troglodyte troll just call people "faggots" with NOT a comment..Quote:

Would he be proud if his grandchild read the comment. Possibly not (same goes for the comment that provoked it)

Not including powerstage points this could be interesting. Hyundai will most certainly win the Manu at this rate.Quote:

Hyundai may want to use team orders with Sordo and Mikkelsen if positions remain as they currently are
You clearly believe your own bullshit to be glittery gold and smell of spring flowers. If you don’t like it coming back stop throwing it out. A simple acknowledgement that you badly misjudged how Ogier’s rally was going would be a welcom innovation :)Quote:

Team Principal, Malcolm Wilson OBE, said:
“Extraordinary. That is the only word to describe Sébastien’s performance today. I could sense at lunchtime that there was a glint in his eye and that he was really going to attack. That’s what he did and he’s ended up with a 35.9 second lead at the end of the day.
“It was a truly incredible drive – just Sébastien and Julien at their absolute best.
“There are still three very demanding stages to go, and anything can happen, but I have no doubt in Sébastien’s ability to deliver. The pressure is on us now and we need to ensure that he and Julien have everything they need to secure the result.”
Same as with VW domination...Quote:

Really? I didn't know that Loeb, Sordo punctures and Meeke "each stage spin" it's a Ogier performance. Tell me how he make it? :dozey:Quote:

Okay then, we can count it compared to someone neutral like Mikelsen for example. Won 1m30s to him.Quote:

That was your view during day 1. 4th place, 19 seconds behind the leader and you had already decided that Ogier was having ‘a not so good rally’
In fact it would appear to be a perfectly judged rally. Quick to judge is usually slow to repent.
Why did others spin and puncture is the question. Pressure, tyre wear problems, lack of familiarity with running in a position where rocks are in the line ;)Quote:

Remembering the old times Loeb was the man never had punctures. Same discussion back then. ;)
Ogier did very well on Saturday. Some luck as well, but that is for every successful athlet.
trying to change my words doesnt make you clever but a clown.I didnt ''judged'' Ogiers performance,i was saying what Tanak have to do,to get some points against Ogier and Neuville,because that at this point of rally was at better position against them.Quote:

oh and Ogier was at 5th position with half minute from leader,not 19 sec from leaders.Get your facts right.
bad or good luck always will play a big role.Quote:

Comparison is still not hard to get. The guest driver failed to manage his tyres in the morning loop. Cooked them in the first stage and then was sliding a lot mid-corner in the next two. Even though he had a pretty good starting position again.Quote:

Gentlemen, please don´t escalate. We should be friends sharing the same interest.
Dimviii, who I know personal, is a very friendly rallyfan.
And what I´ve seen Mintexmemory, you too contributes very much to this forum.
Let it be that way, please.
It seems to be a trend in the last few years in rally forums that the discussions get really heated. Sometimes it's fun to read but quite often it's just sadQuote:

#Tyre info - Day 3:
all the Michelin @WRC drivers with 5 MICHELIN LTX Force S5 except Ogier: 3 MICHELIN LTX Force H4 +2S and Mikkelsen: 3S+2H
So Neuville first car on road for 3 days. Don't think post-event complaining will reach Sweden level though. But that also has to do with the fact that Ogier has been doing this cleaning for the most of last 3 years.
Sordo's comment from saturday also comes to mind: "I'd rather be leading the championship and cleaning than have a good road position".
Anyway I do wonder who will try to improve their PS position by late TCs, maybe nobody (since it's second run). As written numerous times before it actually IS against the rules and that's why they get time penalties, it's just that the penalty does not hurt enough as it is aimed only on overall standings.
Wonderful 3mins of Meeke on-board with pacenotes audible, yet Becs and Paul King talked over every second of if. Just shut the fuck every now and again

Listen to Meeke who, unlike you, was honest enough to admit that he couldn't compete with Ogier's pace yesterday. Ditto similar anti-Ogier biased, @jparker.Quote:

In no way would I endorse Old F’s approach but I can understand how people can lose patience.
You read my mind - I just emailed WRC+ to ask again for a 'pure sound' option.Quote:

Started reading a bit in the topic here but didn't have the courage to read it all... It's quite sad where we're going to with this forum.
