Yes, but as MW hasn't done the Monte for the last 2 years he is only in year 4 of the 5 year plan as far as this event is concerned!Quote:

But it is irrelivant, his 5 year plan ended last year and there is obvousley no hope for him.Quote:

Matthew Wilson is entred for Sweden so he must be on a 10 year plan.

I think tyre tactics is a great part of the sport. It's just frustrating to see a team gamble on slicks against seemingly all available weather data. We heard for days that the weather would come in today, confirmed yesterday, this morning, by just about everyone. I can hardly believe the Ford's choice was based on best expectancy statistical data. It looks like a low probability bold gamble. While you see Loeb always go on conservative side in these situations. Which is not really conservative, it's just a team who knows how to calculate expectancy.
It might also be irrelevant! ;-) Sorry should I have headlined the post "SARCASM WARNING". The debatable question about this event is could Meeke have done as well as Campana is doing? (Obviously, I think yes)Quote:

It's nice to see that Novikov put a 'flat' on his temper and makes a solid rally at the moment
I expect it was a futile attempt to 'spook' Loeb into a mistake. You are right they should have been mirroring the Mini choices as that is the real competition for them on this event.Quote:

For sure this would be the sensible approach. Specially since Petter seemed to have reasonable control on Sordo, matching his times in "safe-mode".Quote:

I make it that she's only about 40 mins behind her only competitor for the 'Ladies Cup'. She will still get 18 PWRC points!!!

Yeah you're right. But I think that this was a opportunity to risk for a good result. No one knows if there will be another posibility to risk something.Quote:

Actually if you follow the principle of multiple causality then all you can deduce from no SR last year is that Loeb would probably have had less points. Other drivers, not having to counter Loeb's pace, would have driven different rallies. Citroen would have got behind Ogier in a more supportive fashion. Petter would have had a better ECU and JML would have been more of a contender and less likely to surrender leads to MH. Change one thing and the whole pack of cards is up in the air!Quote:

I don't think it should be dropped, put the ability to score points should be. It would be a bit unfair, to travel to events, spend all that money and then for a small thing, be it mechanical or an off road excursion rule you out for the rest of the weekend. For sponsors and for the sport it makes sense to let them repair the cars and get out the next day.Quote:

Simple solution...
Agreed :)Quote:
