Sometimes it happens. I remember in 2009 Orsák told us he drove in Monte Carlo from last stage to the service pulling the throttle cable by hand :D I think Nasser had something similar last year.Quote:

So You think that some mechanic took a scissors and cut the throttle wire in Novikov car? That's absurd, don't You think?Quote:

I'l go... Solberg-Latvala-Sordo
To risk 25 points to gain 3 points is Jari-Mattis tactics. :DQuote:

Is it really mechanical wire on rally cars? And even if it is, there are loads of sensors and chips that affect the system.Quote:

This will benefit Latvala, I think he has soft tyres (I don't know about the others) in this 2nd loop and he will start the powerstage first in the road.Quote:

Frozen split times again ??? :mark:
So Latvala can easily get the 3 points of the power stage. So, who will risk the most after Latvala?Quote:

Still dry where we stand, somewhere in the last part of the 2nd stage of this loop. Just Latvala passed until now.
Araujo and Sordo stopped too
Araujo and Sordo also stopped!
Sordo stopped in stage along with Araujo
Sordo stopped, Araujo stopped, Sandell stopped.
All 3 Minis have stopped in this stage!
Yes!Quote:
