2011 WRC Rally Mexico

wrc have nothing about shakedown......!@#$$%%^&

How hard can it be to treat times from SD like the way the do the reports from ordinary stages.

WRC has to shape up their behavour and routines!

@citroenracing - Shakedown. Few minutes before the end: Ogier 2:51:7, P. Solberg 2:51:9, Loeb 2:52:9…

Is that any chance to see live the first super special stage?

So, the Citroens really show some pace in the first timing of the rally, which seems promising in terms of competition.. :)

Villagra doing very well in shakedown.
Hope this pumps his confidence for the competition.

Ogier, Citroën 2.51,7
Petter, Citroën 2.51,9
Loeb, Citroën +2.52,9
Latvala, Ford +2.53,3
Ostberg, Ford +2.55,3
Wilson, Ford +2.55,5
Hirvonen, Ford +2.55,9
Villagra, Ford +2.56,4
Novikov, Ford 2.56,5
Henning, Ford +2.57,7

Read on a norwegian rally-site that the shakedown had to be stopped due to spectators throwing stones in to the road :(
F***ing idiots! Some true rallyfans, right there...

"Shakedown itself was paused for an hour while the organisers dealt with the high number of spectators.

Event director Patrick Suberville said: "There were too many spectators on two corners and [FIA safety delegate] Jacek Bartos said they must move positions before the test could continue. Naturally we agreed with this decision and obviously helped to get the spectators to stand in a safe area.

"We normally get a lot of spectators for the shakedown but normally at the start and finish of this stage. This time they were in other areas.""

Electrical/mechanical and couldn't get the car to the start line

so he will miss the whole 1st day ? or he can start ?

If he retires on SSS he can start for next section. So, he should start in SS2 that is approximately 4 hours from now.. if they can find some electricity;-)

the penalty for retiring at the super specials is again 3mins ? or they changed it ?
