That excuse only prove that timing system by SIT is useless. How come split times and emergency signals depend on local marshals? What is he on about?Quote:

I just remember that the main problems with WRC.com and splits during S1T times was that the times froze. I might be wrong, but I guess that was more to do with an overloaded server? Because I remember that the WRR got the splits.Quote:

Luca Betti will be in Rally Vinho Madeira with Fiesta, the organization says S2000 but in the pictures the car is clearly an RRC.
Not WRC section.
I see that, sorry. Just thought it wasn't worth to start a new thread for the european cups since there isn't much interest from drivers.Quote:

I don't understand why the f*ck people whine about that Twitter account as it's been evident for months that both the "official" WRC accounts in Twitter and Instagram are fakes. Unfollow and get over it. Web is full of imposers.Quote:

I'm still 100% sure that the Twitter account is run by someone else than the WRC media regulars. That backgroung image doesn't look like McKlein photo or then it's a big crop from original. I've never even bothered to check the account's "status" as it's been always so amateurish.
Atleast the IG account is/was fake, and just checked, it doesn't have any pics anymore.
It's probably someone new now that RedBull media house took over the promotion because before that the Twitter account was really 'legit'. I've even met the person behind that twitter page at Wales Rally GB 2010, he was around my age and was then an official WRC employee, making short vids of the WRC 'stars' and uploading them to twitter and post results etc. But now it's probably someone else who doesn't take it really seriously, but I don't really care.. It's not really a surprise that this happens, alot have to change at WRC..
To be honest, i was expecting bit more from Red Bull Media House, if they are behind that.Quote:

I read in autosport that qualification stage to decide road position on gravel is not on in 2014.
Just read that 2013 CRC Rd2 GanSu Zhangye is held as #WRC candidate event. The rally takes place this weekend.
If it's the same Zhangye as this Zhangye, then I can understand why the teams are reluctant to go there:
Zhangye - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It looks like it's at the corner of No and Where.
It is...Quote:

Yeeeess, but then there is tactics of drivers in the days end, remember Loeb - Ogier hassle? Honestly I like it more with qualifying stage, still we have the weather gamble sometimes
