Oleksowicz yes. Yazeed not so sure, his speed is nowhere near as bad as most tourists out there.

Novikov really good :) . After many Kms just one minute and half behind leaders in third place. Very good to see him progress.

Sorry, you don´t seem to know how to handle a WRC car, do you? What happens if you pull off in this situation? Just tell me.

Had an amazing day yesterday on Whaanga coast and then onto two stages in the afternoon. Crazy decision by Petter/Ford to run hards, there was water laying across the road everywhere. I have no idea what the hell they we're thinking.

In the afternoon we went to an extremely fast section with a sweeping righthander, Loeb held it flat with no braking, PS and JML held it flat with a touch of left foot braking and everyone else lifted off. Was just interesting to compare how other drivers approach the corner and you can see where they loose time.

Tanak is amazing to watch, sideways everywhere. Shame that the rally fight is over a bit.

Ill try and get some phots up tonight, the bar is too tamping after a long day but lol

Thats the most important and valuable aspect in watching the rally live. :) Would you please describe other drivers too?

What's up with Yazeed handbraking all the time?

He had some problems with gear selection if I am not mistaken. Maybe related to this?

I meant taking off the accelerator pedal. You have to keep the pedal down in such situations. JML did. But unfortunatly i didn´t work...

I think when conditions are muddy, if you enter the corner at a certain speed the car tends to understeer, a little pull on the handbrake may help to get the car around the corner.

Does anyone know where i can find Sky Sport 3 to watch the eye in the sky?
