According to PLuto the problem is in local timing system and therefore the problems are same for all result websites.

Normally when we are at rally and there is such a stage we go to starting order you can see the drivers close and have a talk with them, or making pictures. I see such a stage as ideal for dads and their little kids to spread the rally virus :wave:

I agree with You. I think the best example of successful city stage is Barum Rally Zlín city stage. The stage is quite wide, relatively fast and long for a city stage an extremely crowded every year (around 40 thousand people every year). Even quite many drivers like it and I know that many foreign spectators come here mainly to experience the city stage.

I'm sure it is possible to make times in top 20 with Porsche in CoI and I personally think even top 10 could be possible in some stages. The car is not so bad. It requires big balls to drive but itself the car is fast.

Top 10 maybe for Delecour level driver today on dryer roads, yesterday running further back on wet mucky roads the car looked nasty to drive, looked and sounded great though

Nice and tight for the last 50km!

Breen up on Barrable at split 1 by 3.6s ...
