Loeb has the rally on hand, you should be happy. He looks at the splits and the Fords start braking, so the rally is decided.

yes i fed up when somebody asks,and while you answer him he says that my answer is ironic.Are you doing the same?

About the Fords vs Citroens difference due to braking fade is very clear if you watch splits and drivers comments.
At first stage without brake problems they lost more while was bigger and with plenty of junctions.
Except that you think that if Fords had braking problems at a 23 km stage the difference would be 4 and 2,8 seconds from Loeb without problems?

Ok let's just go back to my irony meter remark -I didn't say your post was ironic, the sense of my reply was that you didn't 'detect' that I was being ironic. i.e you were being literal in response to a rhetorical statement. As Back - N -Black correctly thought, I WAS JOKING!!! Now that I have deconstructed the gag I hope we can avoid any more 'flaming' (see what I did there? ;) )

"Quick fuel-stop. Feel like little guy in such a powerfull group B car! Once in a lifetime experience, so damm nice. Stig Blomqvist will drive his original car tomorrow, together with the owner of the car. Just wanted to share this one with you! :-)"

From Kevin Abbring's Facebook page. That is one fine looking piece of machine.

What are you trying to say all the time? That the grass was greener back then? Yes, it was, we all know...

Was oil flammable in 1970'? Yes, it was even in 1920...
Was brake liquid flammable in 1970'? Yes, it was even in 1920...
Was exhaust hot? Yes, it was even in 1920...
Was debris of tyre/rim able to damage brake liquid pipes? Yes, it was even in 1920...
etc. etc.

Shall we ride horses? But you can fall down and hurt Yourself You know...

I have no doubt about that, is obvious. I only can't understand in wich part of that logic enters the moment when Loeb start looking at the splits.
