Yep. And the French scroungers who've been helped out massively over the last 5/6yrs or whatever.

Anybody know what time the recce of the salou stage is ? Thanks
Thank you
Will be interesting if it really rains on Saturday.
Dear God these cars are just awesome!
That aero on the rear of the Fiesta just looks wrong.
Coolbet betting actually has Loeb as a favourite to win...

Can somebody present at Salou take a picture of Kopecky´s car, please? Is the livery somehow special? Because it may be and IMO it should be. (Sunday 28th October is 100th anniversary of Czechoslovakian independence and Jan is first czech world champion (I know, only wrc2, but still something to celebrate. Maybe even Mirek broke the diet for few minutes)
You forgot that in 2009 Prokop won JWRC title. Of course the competetion is totally incomparable but he was awarded a World Champion title.
Yes, sorry :)
... and Jan has had a special livery for the 100th aniversary of Czechoslovakia during the whole season on Czech events and he had it also on some WRC ones. The white/blue/red.
Anyway it's quite funny how much we every time celebrate the founding of Czechoslovakia but nobody celebrates the creation of the current state.
It is because everybody is celebrating one day in advance on 31st December :D
"Being able to win the WRC title at the end of this rally, it's a pretty good situation, it does not take a lot of pressure off me, but it does put some in Ogier and Tanak, but it's almost safe. that the championship is going to be played in Australia, I'm trying not to put pressure on myself, but there is still an issue, even if I'm in a comfort zone given my three-year extension with Hyundai. Now, a kid's dream can come true! We'll be there soon ... ", smiled the Belgian at our microphone.
"We will have to do a perfect rally, if we want to be more comfortable in Australia, we will have to increase our lead a little bit.If the gap remains the same or almost, we can be satisfied because the rally looks difficult for us. We will open the road on the ground the first day.The goal is to recover some points on Ogier, who will take more risk than us.The tests went well, it will have to adapt quickly to New settings of the car The team has worked well, the motivation is present.The top 3 of the event I will say Mikkelsen, Neuville and Ogier, "then concluded Neuville.

whats going on with the delays this season? I dont remember it being such a problem in the past years.
there has been a delay basically on every shakedown this season, again now
Finally live, Sordo quickest so far
estonian reporting from shakedown that Loeb nearly crashed and Mikkelsen on two wheels and all over the place
neuville stopped on stage?
and it is, he rolled
This is probably the most unrepresentative shakedown of the season. Only the beginning section is a bit like tomorrow's gravel stages, but the rest is just like a super special.
Live at Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/WorldRally/...5819299573499/
it seems the stage stopped now after Neuville roll, no one going on the stage

That section is super rutted, last year cars turned often on two wheels there
still Neuville not moving

The zero car just passed again maybe it will be live in couple of minutes.

Neuville roll https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_c...&v=DzHhB_w6mK0
I captured Nordgren doing this last year at the next corner. Maybe the section has got even worse.

It was only a light roll, but it's maybe a sign he is feeling the pressure...
On the other hand, the last time he rolled on shakedown, he had his first win in the bag by Sunday. No he rolls on shakedown again, so maybe on Sunday he will have his first title? We can only dream :p
SD crashes are the new fashion. Tänak GB, Neuville here, Ogier has to join in AU.
Also SD crash and P. Solberg had not even started.
I didn't notice at first that Neuville and Gilsoul sat in the car while it was carried away through the stage. Must have felt weird among the spectators...
