Rally Jordan 2010

I really dont believe its a bug, which happens only to Loeb.

A very convenient system bug for Mr Loeb, nobody else didn´t have it.

It can happen to everyone, and I've already seen it happen to other drivers on other rally's, they can even later get those missing splits times
when cars arrive to service.

Like someone said before, Loeb is a clever man and do this kind of stuff would get him much more attention that he wants to have.

This is maybe a better choice

or even better get some of your highly paid engineers to build it into the co drivers mobile phone ;)

It's just a problem with the system that is a bit old fashioned. The splits are send first to a plane that relays them to a satellite. I guess the distances in Jordan are so big and there might be some airspace restrictions that prevent the plane to relay all the splits.

The only way to "turn off" one's splits is to loosen some cables in the GPS system and I think only Marcus and Timo have done that. :D I guess nowdays the cable connections are sealed.

Looks like you are a bit old fashioned according to Viking´s posts!

Since the beginning of the rally
Seb Loeb: 6 missing splits
Petter Solberg: 3 missing splits
Mikko Hirvonnen: 1 missing splits

Before accusing someone of cheating, maybe one should check the facts.

I did not accuse anybody, I was just wondering.

That is the beauty of it, the system isn’t stable in itself so it is very difficult to point fingers at someone.

Ogier helped Latvala get a better road position and he says that was the team plan! :s pin: Either the Citroen strategists are stupid or either Ogier screwed up and unintentionally slotted in front of Latvala. Jari-Matti has a golden chance to win it now.
