2008 Rallye Deutschland - official thread

LATVALA J.-M. / ANTTILA M. "It was hard start. Not able to catch the right rhythm. We made many changes on setup yesterday, it was like recce now."




DUVAL F. / CHEVAILLIER E. " / "We had small moment in one corner, bit faster. Otherwise OK." http://www.vysledky-rally.cz/vysledky/img/i.gif









HIRVONEN M. / LEHTINEN J. "I pushed hard, but Seb probably had different tyres. It was very slippery. I have to keep rhythm."




LOEB S. / ELENA D. "Mikko lost something on one split, I don't know. It was difficult stage, new, in opposite direction. Very narrow and difficult."

Mikko probably will loose on every stage of the first loop this day. Hopefully he'll gain time back on the second loop, like yesterday.

Why is Chevallier codriving Dudu ??? I thought it was Pivato... :confused:

Sordo attacks once more...he might create a safe lead from Hirvonen after this loop of stages.

Exactly. Mikko has to get his act together before it's too late. If he looses that much in all of the first loop stages, the gap will be too big for the afternoon :mark:

According to duval the plan is not to catch Mikko.....nice one Mr Wilson.

DUVAL F. / CHEVAILLIER E."It's much better than yesterday. Car is easier to drive."

SORDO D. / MARTÍ M. ("I have more confidence with car. You can see it on times against Hirvonen. It is my car today."

HIRVONEN M. / LEHTINEN J. "I have no rhythm, loosing bit on every junction. I have not enough confidence, pushing hard for while, then made some mistake."

LOEB S. / ELENA D. "Good that Dani is faster than Mikko. But still long way to finish. We have bit understeering car. Lot of narrow junctions and some gravel."

Ogier demolished Prokop on the previous stage...he is now just 1 sec behind him overall.
