Even then times are not correct I think.

even without the 2min running gap, the times at wrc looked ****ed up, Latvala +2.48.1min in first stage??

Yeah, if vysledky-rally.cz has correct times, then wrc.com times are shait. Not that I had expected them to be anything else... :eek:

Very strange times. And no news, not the offical WRC.com, or rally Argentina.

What's going on? Who has the correct times? This is 2008, c'mon ISC, FIA - wake up please!

Now wrc.com has correct overall standings too - stage times are still shot.

Where is P-G Andersson?

Stage times are ****e but overall times are correct...

if 48 seconds is correct: WOW I can't remember such a gap on a first stage (or any stage)

Hirvonen is 2.5s/km faster than Latvala and more on anybody else :eek:

Wow, engine again...

please FIA , drive only rallies with good weather, good roads and good public. 2 minutes between top 8 after first stage, what is this.. ??

Now going out and fishing or something else fun, for this is like a bad movie.

Where's Sandell on this site ??? :s

Everywhere else he's 15th overall on SS1...


Edit: oh no 28th overall on SS1 more than 4 minutes behind overall leader :(

Adding one minute to Mikko's time, the stage times were be more reasonables.

Not easy for Suzuki this World Rally Car ....

[quote="tmx"] i atleast think hirvonen more tactical than latvala right now, if not as fast in speed, his style is to not risk everything.

Have to agree that Mikko is more tactical. Reminds me of Richard Burns. Back before Loeb was winning rally after rally, a championship could be won by staying in the points.

no time for JML.....

Latvala?

I notice Pastrana is already 6 minutes down on the first N4 car.

thats what comes from having a world class co-driver....

Where is JML on stage 2?

Where's Latvala on SS2 ??? :confused:

Can Mikko's time on SS1 be correct? I find it hard to believe, but if it's true, then very very well done

seems latvala had problems.. :(

Was just writing the same myself - IMO most of the times seems strange, I can't believe the time diffs on SS1.

Mikko was only one who got through the stage before heavy rain.

EDIT: Just heard it was mud and fog that caused others to be so much slower than Mikko.

I was going to say it must be the weather, but I was thinking fog for that time difference

Tehy said in radio.. right now..

big problems for Latvala in SS2

Rally Argentina stage times

The heavy rain currently falling over Carlos Paz has temporarily grounded the radio communications aeroplane, which means radio and other electronic signals are struggling to get back to Rally HQ from the stages.

Until normal communications are restored there may be delays in displaying stage times here on wrc.com.

We’re working on a solution now and hope to resume our normal service very soon.

Thanks
The wrc.com team
