Cronin broke suspension. He hit a stone inside the corner and wishbone broke.
It looked like suspension, wheel was wobbling about, and puncture, he lost 10 mins at stage and just got passed by mcrae. Just waiting for ss11 to start, slight drizzle.Quote:

Mikkelsen must surely settle for second now.

Very nice pictures on Eurosport HD, Scotland is a beautiful country, at least this part !
Scotlands IRC round, with the nice scenery and stages need to get either the final or an earlier round so they get a full field !
Interesting how Eurosport don't include the Hankook logo in their graphics for Mikklesen.
Clearly Hankook haven't been happy to write a cheque to Eurosport.....
If anybody is watching online say thanks to the guy hosting it. He's doing the highlights too.
Fantastic pictures - a great event, super quick stages. Let's hope next year the entry is a lot better.
Damn, another puncture for Meeke.......no luck at all this year.
How unlucky is Meeke?!
i second that and have already sent my thanks!Quote:

Some of the times Proton set weren't too bad when they were running but they really need to work on that reliability!
Feel sorry for Meeke, last stage really sums up his year. Thanks for being a star in IRC Kris and beter luck next year in WRC!
Summary of his stage end interview:
Crap rally for us
Crap car this year
Crap season.
It'll be a shame he won't be in IRC next year but will be great once Mini get going in WRC.
Provisional german plates on car so I think Skoda Italia...Quote:

Congratulations to Hanninen, Mikkelsen and Meek as well to finally finish on podium!
In the end Hankkok showed that they have produced a tire that are equal to the top producers, and that is not bad in a small year !
Mikkelsen is quick enough, the Fiesta is quick enough, and now they have a quick enough gravel tire - the team are fighting in the top.
Congrats on a well deserved 2nd place !

The scottish landscape very similar with the azorean.
Bad luck no heli pictures this time.
Nice place from SS6. Juho's stile is amazing :D

Really nice stages..
They have started with gravel tire with very, very hard sidewall. It was very reliable, we run whole season without any punctures but it has negative influence on handling/traction. So now they make sidewalls little softer and the difference is clearly visible in times.Quote:

When we watch so small number of entries I'd like to ask if some of You Scottish knows why Rally of Scotland and McRae Stages are held separately in just two weeks on same stages?
