This is a pretty amazing statistic when you think about it. M-Sport and Malcolm Wilson must be doing something right.Quote:

And people wonder why Ford don't come back as a full manufacturer.
Whatever money they are paying him (those logos on the cars aren't free....) seems to be doing the job nicely enough. Why pay more?
Perhaps M-Sport are their own worst enemy?
Another spectator question. I've found all the info and videos of different zones online.
If you're in a spectator zone is there scope to walk down the stage or is it very strict? I suppose what I'm asking is will you essentially have the same view twice if you stay for both runs.
Secondly, how easy is it to transfer between stages? Any big queues/road closures etc?
It is a bit strict, I sugest moving to a different spectator zone between passes.Quote:

How far are the car parks away from the stages???? are they pretty close or is it an early start to get parked up and get a good spot....

Any locals know how far into Ourique this jump is? Before they cross under the highway?

Difficult to get to I assume?
It's placed exactly two kilometres before the stage crosses over the highway. You have to go to ZE08, then walking following the direction of the stage. There is one way to arrive a few meters before the stage, but I don't recommend it to you.Quote:

Approximately. It's not needed to arrive very early, though if you arrive late you'll have to walk more because you'll park your car more far from ZE08.Quote:

Thanks Kielder. We might try that out. I just wasn't sure whether you might get penned into ZE08 by security. We'll see what happens.

is there a pickem topic yet?
Pickems on line in the next day or so. The availability of the board - based Pickem again means I need to find out from Mark if the 3 rounds so far can be uploaded. But the great work done by makinen_fan and KiwiWRCfan shouldn't be wasted so I'm wondering if we keep the system they've set up for this season and use the official returned board for WRC2
stunning livery! anyone with more pics from other angles?Quote:

When entering the Rally Portugal sub menu I get this message:
"Klucz API Map Google używany w tej witrynie został zarejestrowany dla innej witryny. Projektant tej witryny może wygenerować nowy klucz na tej stronie."
What does it mean?
Thanks
It's in Polish, something like:
"Key of API Google map used in this window remained registered for another window. Developer of that window can generate new key for the window."
I have no idea what does it mean. I'm no programmer....
Thank you Mirek for the translation. Oppositelock, are you accessing Internet from Poland ? Are you using 3D or 2D (on smartphone) version ?
Personally I don't have this problem on my computer (we are based in France). An easy test for you is to reinstall "Google map API" and relaunch your browser.
We will look for the cause of this problem with my IT colleague, please notice us if there is a change in your situation.

I know it's a tad bit early but does anyone have any ideia on how the weather's going to be? I've already looked at many weather sites but some say rain and some say sun.
It was this forum that saved me from a monumental cold in 2012, particularly Bluuford.
What's up, Oppositelock ?

Sry, I was on the fieldworks for half of the week.It looks like weather around Fafe will be little bit wet tomorror and very wet on Sunday.
The period before Rally Portugal should be very rainy.Thursday might be the turning point with less rain and if we are lucky, then the whole weekend will be mostly dry.
Every WRC champion ran there (today Ogier will be the last one of the list). Not many spots in the world can say that.Quote:
