Shows that are considered borderline Man shows and you should not be ashamed watching, but you should not over do it...
1. WRX
2. Moto GP
3. SBKs
4. DTM
5. BTCC/WTCC (once Loeb leaves it loses its man status)
6. Hillclimbs
Hah, that's interesting personal preference. DTM is nice for a circuit racing, I would also recommend Le Mans. Documentaries are also interesting, especially some "Universe" kind of stuff. Hillclimbs are definitely great.Quote:

The only thing I can withdraw from this stuff is that you have no means for highlighting your prefered drivers's performances and that Ogier is surely the only driver who makes you mad.
#GoOgier!
Yes. This is a rally forum and we are discussing about rally drivers. Discussions and debates are what forum has been invented for.Quote:

Why does this bother so hard so many people?Quote:

As much we're getting close to this final outcome, the more irritating becomes what Ogier does and what he says.
BTW seems the same applies to VW/Capito, even when there are 2 more drivers there besides Ogier....
Anyway, very few and very poor clips from the rally. Getting worse every year.
This was another thing https://vimeo.com/36503511
I'm still at it, didn't you watch my video from this year? Maybe I'm getting worse too :)Quote:

Why, what had he done?Quote:

Your videos are awesome, but sometimes little long to watch, I mean ~25 mins. Have You considered to make some shorter versions with the best cars/moments? Probably ~10 mins?Quote:

I stayed up until 2am sunday night to finish it, i know a lot of the local guys too so that's why i brought more of the Norwegians and Swedes than usual. But i will try to make it shorter next time! :)
I like the way they are. Keep up the good workQuote:

Yes the car was for sordo,but since Hayden tested before the rally he used his own set up.why they write such things?or do i miss something?
Edit
Its not the first time i read or hear this but since i read it again i have to ask why they write such things.to my mind they write these thing just to give bigger value to his fifth overall position.
It was well known days ago the rally started.Quote:

Paddon only had a one morning test session to adjust both the suspension and his driving style to suit Sordo's car prior to the rally start. Considering that by the events end he had probably doubled his lifetime experience of driving on either snow or ice he probably didn't do to badQuote:

64.5.1 For a Manufacturer or a WRC Team, a list of linked rallies intended to be run with the same transmission and spare parts must be notified to the FIA prior to the first rally in which they will take part as:
- 2 links of 2 rallies per car,1 link of 3 rallies and 1 link of 4 rallies per seasonally allocated car number for a Manufacturer or a WRC Team which has nominated all Championship rallies.
- 4 links of 2 rallies per seasonally allocated car number for a WRC Team which has nominated 10-12 rallies.
- 3 links of 2 rallies per seasonally allocated car number for a WRC Team which has nominated 7, 8 or 9 rallies.
If a car does not finish a rally of a link, new transmission and spare parts may be sealed at scrutineering of the next rally of the link.
64.5.2 For rallies which are not linked, Arts. 64.7.2 & 63.3 will apply.
64.6 TRANSMISSIONS
For Manufacturers and WRC Teams, 2 gearbox and differential assemblies per car will be sealed on the first rally of each link. Only these units must be used on the linked rallies. If 2 gearbox and differential assemblies have been used on the first rally of a link (and/or second rally of a link in case of a link of 3 rallies and/or third rally of a link in case of a link of 4 rallies), only once per season, 2 different gearbox and differential assemblies may be sealed without incurring a penalty (Manufacturers and/or WRC Teams must inform the FIA before pre-rally scrutineering of the second or third rally of the link).
Thanks both of you guys.
