Loeb didn't complain conditions, I can't understand why he don't push anymore, just driving safely, that's one thing I don't like....

It's up to him how will he turn but to drive in opposite way is forbidden. It's often done to make some speed for handbrake turn though and not penalised (I remember only one disqualification because of that in last few years).Quote:

This has to be the last straw for Matthew Wilson, getting beaten by Al Quassimi is a total embarrasement for him. Actually, Im beginning to feel sorry for him...
Sandell 1 minute penalty for being 6 minutes late (gearbox change).
I agree. He must feel awful.Quote:

Right on time for Hirvonen!! And faster than last year??
4 seconds faster than last year !!!
So, it is early to judge the new cars. Let's wait for portugal
No splits for the short stage I presume.
edit: I was wrong!
the safest bet would be tarmac stages...but on smooth gravel like finland and mexico would also be a nice comparison.Quote:

here is not a big problem....but if the snow is on the other one as well...then he must worry.
Petter slow again. +2s at 1.4km
this is also going to be the final power stage.... any links from swedish tv for the live ??
the thing is none of the drivers at the front can afford to stop pushing without risking losing their place....so the battle will go on until something happens and creates big differences
petter say he has to change one front damper
did Solberg appealed for the second penalty he got ??
Can someone post top ten times for latest stage please? WRC app doesn't have it yet....
I believe it was rejected, so the penalty stands.Quote:

Mikko really woke up this morning :)
Ogier takes another second from latvalas time....big battle.
Loeb pushed at this stage.Maybe a try to see if he can win this stage in afternoon, and gain some 3 points more?If he suceed that,Sweden can give him some good points even in 6th position.
5 drivers who must push on every of the following stages.....i doubt everyone will make it without something to happen.
Really a breath-taking debut for the new era, I'm overly glad. The conclusion of the weekend is, for me, local drivers and privateers may enroll in the game once again. And I strongly believe that PG will continue in M-Sport brand, may be even at the 'M' level; he displays a supremacy of driving despite lacking testing and experiencing problems...
the fact that he is local also plays an important role to his result.....i do not know how things work in civilised countries but for example here in greece the organisers allow the local competitors to do all the passes they want from the stages even (some use rally cars as well) on the rallies that are international, is the same thing happening in all countries ?? (i know that paasonen had the same treatment in finalnd but i think he was an exception)Quote:
