I think only 1st pass counts (Hanninen), though it doesn't make much sense to me, conditions are more equal on the 2ndQuote:

Didn't know that, thanks for clarification.Quote:

That's definitively not a good rally for Ogier :laugh:Quote:

Why most of you complain about first Kubica's journey and nobody talk about it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odhtyiW8Ko8 ???
Maybe after this moment Mads lost chance to second place...
Oh, that's real tragedy, didn't get itQuote:

If Mads can't see person waving, what are the chances of seeing small triangle ?!?!?
Ogier didn't like to loose. Like no one. :laugh:Quote:

Have to say I don't share the disappointment with Hyundai performance (drivers). Although they had the two retirements which were kind of unlucky they showed good pace. Considering how rushed the development was and how much people in the team came from circuits they did pretty well.
Anyway for me the most pleasant surprise was Mikkelsen.
Agree with You! Also, I was not surprised, by such Neuville retirement. he had exactly the same retirements in Monte and Portugal with Fords in 2013. Little bit too much cutting and open wheel is killed by the stone inside the corner. Was it the same stone that Sohlberg hit and broke his wheel? However, I have not seen such problem with Hanninen. To be honest, my equal second surprises were both Estonian pairs.Quote:

Excellent vid! Most off all pushing hard, sometimes very hard! And guys from the back are cool especially those R2 and R3 who show great times compellable to WRC2 and low WRC.Quote:

Great videos guys, thanks !
Our pictures from the rally is online at http://www.rallyfoto.se or https://www.facebook.com/rallyfoto.se
It got a lot better rally than we thought it would be given all the reports of bad roads that we have read before the start.
Sure, it could have been better but it's been worse Swedish Rally's too.
The roads there we were kept pretty good (at least where we were) but it sure was the gravel out after a couple of cars.
But the gravel was frozen so it didn't get two ditches that everyone must follow.
Only a few degrees colder, it would have been perfect (and a litle thicker layer of ice on the road).
you are welcome,but no reason to say ''thanks'' ;)Quote:

My highlights from Rally Sweden 2014 from Shakedown, Torsby, Finnskogen, Lesjöfors, Rämmen and Vargåsen. Including Robert Kubica's crash both on Lesjöfors and Rämmen and lots of other close calls and podium interviews with the top three finishers :)

I wonder what comments Ostberg said towards Meeke after this stage ? especially when it's your teamamte :)
any penalties for that to Meeke ? ;)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjmYuxgJSBM
did ostberg said that he wasn't warned about kubica's off trip ? I see a spectator in 0:39 waving- warning about the accident ?
in this case somebody is lying here, I didn't notice that he didn't slowed down even a bit, did he ignore a warning ?
Seriously. A spectator waving his hands is a warning? Like that would be unusual in a rally ... seeing a spectator waving his hands at you.
I have myself as a spectator slowed down incoming cars several times (when the road was blocked by accident). Maybe it was only because it was in national events but I have never experienced a driver who would not slow down after my gesticulation. What You need is to run to a place where You are visible from distance and use clear gesticulation.Quote:

I believe Mads did see the spectator, and he did slowdown. Otherwize the possibly fatal accident was unavoidable. Why he didn't slowdown further? Only Mads knows.Quote:

Guys, It was clear even from bad-quality onboard camera that spectator was trying to slow him down (maybe it was not clear for computer spectator but it should be very clear to IRL spectator.. even more to proffessional driver). Mads just got overexited that for second time in a row his good stage time was ruined. It was way overreacted that they brought it to stewards meeting. I think Mads is the one who should be reminded that it would be more safe to pass stopped car in a slower speed while people are around. He got warning and he had plenty of time to slow down.
