yeah 10,000 spectators are not worth the time and money spent on it, honestly I think the SSS in cordoba stadium was quite good, a lot of people there and no long distances to travel, hope this mistakes do not happend again

I must comment on the fact that WRC newcomer Claudiu David of Romania finished 12th overall (second to Kuzaj in Group N) in the superspecial on board and OMWRT-entred Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 9. He was faster than Latvala and Raies and they drive World Rally Cars!
Anything new on this??Quote:

It was fun to see answers about left foot braking in yesterday,s preshow. Good to see my friend McShae to win super special with Kumho tyres.Quote:

And then again, surprisingly, not even a mention on that perfect official site of world rally championship. What a service they provide! :arrows:
Oh, big mistake by organisers to take SS1 to Buenos Aires. Disapointing to see this happen, especially when WRC rallies are so short anyway.Quote:

Sooner or later they know. But let's wait.Quote:

I have no more words to describe how crap wrc.com's official site is..
Loeb had reservations about whether there was any need to go so far for a single stage, I think we all did. Massive error in judgement by the organisers. I think its worth pointing out however that there was much more then the 10,000 spectators people have quoted on here. According to Carlton on Eurosport (by no means reliable but still) the stadium was about half full and had in the region of 50,000 people in there. The stage itself was utter crap.
at least Solberg don't get a penalty! (put in a sarcastic way)
So only one proper stage today? At least Fords have no problem with tyre wear then. :)
The newspaper from argentina talk in 10.000 spectators.... the OMV press release talks in 70.000 :eek: but i believe on the argentinian sources, because the pictures from the stadium show the second ring empty and the first ring had a lot of available places. maybe not 10.000 but not more than 15.000.Quote:

on the official site, only in spanish, looks like everything will start after service "B" (the second one I supose) at 14.56 Argentina time the first car will leave the service park, the cause of this is because the "blue" airplane could not land in Cordoba's Airport. So the rally will star at SS7 as kakus said and that will mean there will only be 2 stages before the cordaba superspecial, today. This is not looking good, stupid "blue" plane, whatever it is...!
What a mess!
Let them drive in the night, thats real rally!
two, SS7 AND SS8Quote:

Hmm, things are going well...
I log onto WRC+ to find no Rally Radio and the live timings still showing SS1. You would think the official site might have made some announcement by now if most of todays stages are going to be cancelled.
I'm a bit bemused about Rally Radio being off for the whole weekend. Surely it can't be that hard to provide at least some sort of coverage? It would have been nice if they'd put something on the WRC+ page (not just the main rally radio page) and actually given some sort of detail.
Oh well, things can only get better over the weekend (I hope.)
Exactly, what a mess!! I hate being negative, BUT this is a complete shambles, it makes the WRC look a joke. Imagine cutting 25 laps from a GP, SORRY but there is no excuse for this. The WRC limps from one problem to the next.Quote:

Lets hope thats the last rally Argentina we see.....the rally is a disgrace for the sport....!!!!! too many incidents over the years, yet no action.

This is amateur rally. What a bad organisation! Tjongejonge...
I hope the battle makes this good. This is a dissaster for the sport, manufacturers, drivercrews and fans.
It is a little bit funny that this could happen. This is a warning of the FIA. This was the first and last time to have a SSS far away!
Is this another attempt to kill our fave Motorsport ? :mad:
Is this another round that will not be in the WRC next year?! :O

No splits for SS2 ??? :confused:
wrc.com says it because of p-wrc plane that they delay.
what the f.? if the WRC cars are there, they could at least run, PWRC could start later with a nominal time!
but again wrc.com is not a reliable source of information...
SS2 wat yu on about? You didn't hear its canned?
Ahhh...it was he drivers and officials that couldn't make it due to the weather! And nearly 4 hours later....worst rally communications (wrc).com site reports the problem! Errrrrrrr...!!!!!! Lame
No Tom no splits for SS2 or SS3,4,5 and SS6 either...did you just wake up?Quote:
