Looks like "technical problem"... driver induced;-)
Magalhaes crashed on "ice" :mark: :(
Three local Swiss drivers in top 6, they must be used to these kind of conditions.:D
Wasnt good choice for SS1... lost time on melting snow. :(Quote:

The same problem might be tomorrow morning. Warm temperatures caused snow to melt rapidly and in many places roads were wet. It is cold overnight and it starts melting again in the morning. So, tomorrow there might be some disadvantage to start first (as the melting takes some time).
Does the start order change for tomorrow or is it the same as today's?
Really nice, especially Lappi.Quote:

Breen gets no luck yet again - having to be first through after car 1 crashed, then showed his pace with a stage win, then loses a minute with a puncture...
He may as well write off 2014, nothing is meant to be this year.
No bonus points for first leg has nothing to do with shortening the stage. Also before shortening, leg one was not long enough for bonus points, so from beginning are bonus points after leg1+leg2 together.Quote:

"cars 1 & 7 pushed to the service"
So, both are taking penalty?

Looks like Abbring did not start the stage...
What to say...
If they couldn't leave parc fermé on their own, means they will take penalty i suppose. Pluto, help us out there:)Quote:

What a bad luck for Kevin once more, wonder how he keeps up with it:(Quote:

I wonder why Peugeot have done cold start practice? Even amateur teams here in Finland leave car for a night out of garage for to do cold starts and make sure everything is ok...
Do we know who except Consani is on Pirelli tyres? Looks like they work really good as usually in cold conditions.
K9 Pirelli for Consani. He is happy.
Peugeot needs to take a sabatical and work on their very unreliable 208 R5
What a comedy show that 208.
don't think it's a comedy show for Abring and BreenQuote:
