Yes Pluto, i agree with you, he had several minutes of TV time, i don't think he has got that in SWRC. ;)

Ohhh, poor Andreas. They really need to work on the reliability of the Fiesta.
Andreas Mikkelsen will do superrally tomorow, so he can show what is capable even not in battle for the win.
Really? Andreas said on the radio that there was a blue smoke from the exhaust which means oil in combustion chamber. That could indicate very serious damage to the engine.
Bulgarien commentator said that on first live Eurospot coverage, but I'm not so sure how inform is he and what are his sources.
I heard that he is working on engine to enter the Golden Stage on sunday. Nothing about tomorrow.Quote:

In IRC that depends on supplementary regulations of each event. It's very rare but if organizer wants, he can establish superally. I remember that from Rally Russia for example.Quote:

It’s difficult to assess the real suspension travelling but I think this is near the real ratio between N4 and S2000.
Probably Manfred StohlQuote:

Impressed by Feghali, never heard of him, but after checking him out he has been around for a while, and is fast - maybe we will see the Lebanese in IRC more in 2011.
What tyres are Kresta on today ?
Feghali is a name well none from Middle East Rallye Championship.
I remember is performance some years ago with the Deltona.
I also remember him in my home rally Elpa Halkidiki Rally - ERC in 2001 where in the downhill sections in the stages was very close to Vovos. Vovos was with Impreza WRC and Feghali with Evo6 Gr.N!

Congratulations to all finishers.
The live coverage from cyprus was the best so far. Incredible shoots from the helicopters.
Congratulations Nasser ...
:)

Thumbs up for the golden stage.
Really a nice spectacle.
Looking forward to the second run of this selective stage.
Mikkelsen showing what could have been in Cyprus - people must be starting to really take notice now of him. He may have had a quiet two years before 2010, but he's now getting recognition he deserves.
Yes, will be interesting to see his speed in GB in a S2000, and with same rubber as the rest ! No doubt that the test role of Hankook in IRC have showed a picture that is a bit strange, even if Hankook have developed big time in 2010 !Quote:

online stream anywhere?
I agree - can't wait to see him at GB. I think he should aim to win S2000 class; maybe a bit slower than Ketomaa but nobody else. The Hankook role has been good for him in terms of sponsorship etc but they simply aren't good enough tyres to consistently get the top stage times - whoever the driver.Quote:

Yes he did, but that further shows what could have been this season if Hankook had tyres at the same level as Pirelli.Quote:

I guess since Golden Stage was not a part of IRC, and the Hankook was for IRC, he was free to choose for GS I guess. And he wanted to test Fiesta/Pirelli before Wales.
