Who the hell thought that tilted camera is a good idea (also in Rovanperä's car)...

Neuville amazing again this black icey stuff like yesterday

Those Pirellis needs some reinforcements, not nice to have so many punctures over the rally.Quote:

Besttime Ogier
Fully agree with you, it's a matter of security and safety too.Quote:

And Gryazin only 05.sec behind him.Quote:

there was a question from a viewer if its ever happened that a driver who gets 0 points from Monte has become champion.
turns out there is 8 of them including Vatanen, Biason (2 times), Mäkinen, Grönholm, McRae, Burns, Solberg
Yes just check the other Rally2 coming Ciamin between Gryazin and Solberg on first split. Conditions changing.Quote:

What do you think about PowerStage ?
Will "Big5" take all points or are we going to see some surprises ?
Has Rally2/RC2 drivers chance for points ?
Way too early to say how conditions will be 3 hours from now.Quote:

I am not sure they can "take" WRC PS points since they now have own PS points
I think it is Pirelli's interest too to improve. Also many drivers have told now that the slick tire is really "snappy"- like Sordo said yesterday- real racing tire, but when you loose the grip, you are gone. Seams that Michelin was more forgiving on the grip limit level and the feedback from tire was easier to feel.
They forgot 1994 and Didier Auriol.Quote:

Same as with a couple of stages yesterday, and said by Rallyper here, just around sunrise on clear weather days, the temp drop a bit, until the sun gets up and start to warm the asphalt. That just happened when the Rally2 cars started. So most of the frozen layer on the "wet asphalt" now is just wet, and now the studded tires are more slippy that just the snowtire without studs.Quote:

Solberg Oliver - Johnston Aaron

Correction, those are Drivers' Championship points which are different from WRC2 or WRC3 or Manufacturers' Championship points. So if WRC2 driver wins PS, he will score five points for Drivers' and five points for WRC2.Quote:

does fourmeaux will bring point to m-sport if it stay in top 10 as a second car??Quote:

also: another different tyre choice for hiunday...
What a stage :)
oookei, this will be INTERESTING. The decider. The pin-ball pipe.
beautiful stage
Spin for Guss
Yes, absolutely it was. I only wanted to straighten out the overall PS points as there are no such thing, points are always tied to some championship. I know you meant the correct thing, just expressed slightly flawed.Quote:
