Campana dissapoints me a bit thought he would be a bit faster :)
Well... Magalhaes is always the slowest driver from usual IRC drivers...
Also to me... but ok... he said he didn't took any risks.. let's see hw he will do in the 2nd loopQuote:

However the Rally Radio guys credited his time as being 16m19.3. It was like so on the live timing also but then it was updated to a 16m28.3. Not quite sure has gone on there.Quote:

Gonon fastest N4 that guy need a brand new car like a Impreza R4 Florian very fast :) . Loix was immediateley fast with a S2000 :)
I was expecting much faster time from Albertini with his Megane as he was extremely fast on the Clio R3.....Very strange he lost 34" from the first Clio
Yes, he is missing.Quote:

I guess the top times will be under 16m second time through....
First times should be arriving...
Freddy a bit faster than Bryan.
Looking forward to the other times!
That's incredibly close for almost 30 km long stage... untill Neuville :)
Did I hear anyone say tight? Whoa...
Neuville phenominal!!!!
:D :D :D
He's not even crazy friendly :D He's crazy fast !!!
Neuville is flying...
Sandell faster than first run but still a looonnngg way off the pace.
Bengue with Mini on SS 2 set 16:38.8
I didn“t expect Sandell in the top 3, but being soooo much off the pace, it must be really frustrating for him. He for sure has expected better times after the good results in the SWRC in France and Germany last year.Quote:

But still I hope we“ll see at least a slight improvement of Patrick!

Slow :s Okay Bengue has no rhytym at all and first time that he did that stage but so much of the pace is as bad like what Sandell is doing now.Quote:

I know but Perico did it quite well though? But anyways with small restrictor how much hp would they have and would it be still more than a 'real' S2000.Quote:

I don't remember any good result of Mini S2000 on tarmac. And I have doubts that 1.6T in TRT where Navarra won, have small restrictor...
Isn't that against the rules should be like the Gr N drivers tried that in Belgian fixing their restrictor size like Bijvelds or Deconinck did :-/. And Mini has maybe then even not the advantage of turbo inside it then..
I don't know rules of TRT. I don't say they are cheating but I'm really unsure if the rules say max. 30 or 33 for TRT.
Mmm I thought anything besides WRC is a regional championship so? Or do I see that rule a bit wrong?
It should be 30 mm but... we'll never know the size of restrictor in Navarra's Mini at Rally Adriatico! ;) Anyway I really enjoyed watch him fly on that beautiful stages! :)Quote:

No, :) Regional championship is ERC, APRC, CODASUR, African championship. In national series rules are up to national ASN if the event is held under the ASN or up to other organizer authority (like let's say DRS in Germany). Of course they can choose FIA rules for any reason.Quote:

Because they arrived too late with regulations. And it was sure that on the beginning of this season will be only very low number of Minis for local champ. With big restrictor, everybody with this car should be unbeatable and his rivals wont be able to buy similar car. Thats why this year there are different restrictors.
Here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIx3Ggru0_Y starting from min 5:00 onboard from Navarra - Adriatico!Quote:
