Sorry. I mean douple for our drivers! Douple for FINLAND.

As I and Barreis predicted, Latvala made a mistake as usual. So pity the guy behind him is scared of his own shadow and missed this great chance.

Impossible? What did J-M L do in the first stage today.

You may not think Hirv can do it, but impossible!!!

Exciting last stages!

The puncture came in a really unexpected place and most propably also many other drivers hit the same rock so this is definately not a typical Latvala's mistake. These just happen.

why not? :p

One is more than enough!

And I must say, you are really trying to set a new standard in totally disrespectful caracteristics of a world class rally driver. Hirvonen a Coward???

Have the times stopped coming in for SS22 ???

is N.O.T and SlowSon the same person?

How can you be sure it was his mistake?
2 other drivers seems to have hit the same rock.
Remember Petter crashing out of japan in 2005? The rock in the line then was impossible to evade as confirmed by onboard.

It is not Latvalas fault. Just bud luck

It looks like SlowSon is on another league.

Come on Latvala!!!

After Mikkelsen had changed tyre he took back 16sec on PG and 12sec on Ogier in one split!!

why no time after andersson at ss22 ?????

this rock was hit only by latvala, solberg and mikkelsen, people who very often make stupid mistakes. why did nobody else hit it ?

wow, now its getting exiting! if hirvonen pushes like crazy, he might catch latvala in the powerstage. and will petter try to fight back, even if he has no chance?

also mikkelsen could catch up to andersson again.

Continuing with the 2005 Japan example the rock back then was kicked from the side of the road into the line by the preceding car.

Here the running order was Solberg-Hirvonen-Latvala-Mikkelsen, only 1 out of these 4 didn't hit it. The rock could have been dug out by Østberg, moved by Solberg (puncture), the moved again by Hirvonen without puncture....

Yes it's speculation, but saying that 3 drivers at once made stupid mistake... that's more like dreaming.

I think Hirvonen is on a charge...

Because THIS IS RALLY.

He will have to.


Latvala 0.4 quicker on the first split.

Latvala now 1.5 quicker, looks like hes got the pace.

Ostberg flies on this one....

Hirvonen safe run through...

It would be a real pity if Latvala lost the rally like this, so it is all good...

defenetly! also looks like andersson is going to stay ahead of mikkelsen. would be so cool for proton winning the swrc and finishing 2nd in s2000 class!

Latvala the boss.

M. Östberg and P. Solberg get what they deserve.

If was a mistake, it was a small mistake compared to Loeb's mistake on Friday.

But this was not a mistake, and the inboard cameras will confirme it

I hope Loeb and Hirvonen will win 1-2 on the power stage now :mark:

Whaaat ? :hmph:

so, any livecoverage from the powerstage now or not?

Lets hope that the Sweden results persuaded some people that WRC is where the big boys play, and IRC is also nice to watch but a ladycup nonetheless.
