JML is also a Rally 2 runner though right? Weird that he'd be the guy to go first though. Anyone actually seen the proposed running order?

(Well if it's true what he is saying it's totally retarded.) But since the road order on PS is only up to the promoter they can do this.

EDIT:

UHHH yes he is rally 2 also, from friday so it's actually "correct", cause he retired earlier than others.

FIA sitting on their hands when this could have been sorted sharpish after Sweden. Clueless.

- $ 2000 for Loeb and Elena for not having activated the OK button within a minute of stopping to change tires in the special stage.

- $ 2000 for Hyundai for disconnecting (accidentally) the turbo pressure recorder between 2 repairs (between Service B and C) of the Neuville i20.

Lappi and Suninen both retired before JML did. So he's got a right to be pissed off.

Agree the FIA should have sorted this. No reason at all they can't close loopholes in rules mid-season. Happens all the time in F1.

I dont think Rally2 driver's should get any sort of advantage on the PS.

Those that have done the full rally should get the best chance for the extra points.

Agree but now Latvala is complaining who of the Rally 2 drivers should start when (Lappi and Sunninen retired first, Latvala later on friday and Tanak on saturday).

The problem with late tc check where rally 2 drivers don't care about total time is different.

In no way would I endorse Old F’s approach but I can understand how people can lose patience.

first you said that i ''judged'' Ogier ,and you failed to show me the post where i '' judged'' Ogier
now you are talking about Loeb vs Ogier
then you talk about a ''threat''?
where is the ''threat'' clown? again you are putting words in my mouth?

Fascinating stuff. FIA about to realise how badly they f**ked up in just over an hour.

There is like 5 cars to come, everything is ready TV wise, no need to change places since re run on the same stage. Why not show rest of the field instead of this stupid spinning gps map... "all live"

Meeke (I think):
"“But after that event surely somebody could have come up with a simple regulation change to say that any late check-in for the powerstage would result in them losing any points if they finished in the top five."

Exactly, this was clear since Sweden. What was FIA doing since then?

So do Lappi and Suninen start after Latvala? That's fucked up. What's he going to do? Did he reveal he'd take a penalty?

No he just threatened not to do any interviews at the next rally. I think eluding to the fact the organisers had made a personal choice to place JML in that position.

Latvala can drop 2 places on starting positions. 50sec advantage on Gus

He could even risk dropping behind Gus.

But is the road order really going to have a big effect here when the whole field have just been through the stage ? I think Latvala is just annoyed he is not the star here.

It has at least some effect. Whether it's big or not doesn't change the fact that the order wouldn't be correct.

Latvala gain 31sec on Gus at SS21... so it's 81sec probably. Exactly 2 pos on 4 min intervals

But the guy who was supposed to start behind Latvala (let's say it's Sunninen) will see that Latvala is not going into TC and will wait until he shows up cause the can take the penalties as well(max 30 mins).. and this way you can get 5 guys waiting. Which is why Meeke said what he said.

Greensmith start PS - first!
Tidemand - second

Few drivers could still go "missing" before the stage no? And start later? Or is it locked in now?

That's what I meant. Now we see order out of regroup. Then there is TC right in front of stage.
