Ingram fighting back with 3rd & 5th fastest times despite bent steering.
It's a nonsense about Simon Wagner on Rally-Base website !!! They give him 7' penalty for superrally but he seems to always finish stages(he says something at the end of almost each stage)and seems not to have any problems !! :s :confused:
on which stages?Quote:

He's way slower than I was expecting him to. No major drama though.
Disappointing highlights on Eurosport tonight... seemed very brief and also didnt show the cause of all the punctures on SS5.
All Italians are slow! Only Basso keeps the Italian flag high.Quote:

Very bad and after the recent eventful rallys very boring event too so long. Should use iconic Sanremo in Italy instead.Quote:

The new test schedule should be 11:30

Timetable update.
SS 10 will run at 11.30
SS11 will run at 12.10
First stage cancelled, second delayed... looks like they waited for me to get online ! ;)
And now no times, only quotes?
BTW I saw this photo of an i20 R5 which I didnt realise was on the rally...

Who is this guy, Kevin Gilardoni, and why is he so slow ?
Yes, it's possible, most top Italian drivers are much over 30 or even 40, but it doesn't explain the fact that only last year they were faster than top ERC crews. I have just found my comparison of stage times from last year. Crugnola was wiining stages and this year he is down in the 13th position. So last year the Italians were faster and just one year later so much slower. What has changed since last year?Quote:

But Campedelli was right up there til his technical and Scandola wasnt bad. Basso is still pushing Lukyanuk.
Yes, the situation in the Italian championship seems very comfortable for Ucci and that is the only thing he cares about:Quote:

Yes, over 28 km. Nordgren loses over 30 seconds after a spin. Another bad rally for him...Quote:

You mean Acropolis and Cyprus were full of fascinating events that generated a great interest?Quote:

Do you already see Lukyanuk's and Campedelli's results? I still see Basso as the last competitor that finished the stage 12 :(
No, but I was just going to say, if someone isnt listening to rally radio they wouldnt know what was going on the results are so slow.Quote:

Ucci crashed & blocked stage ?
Stage 13 stopped.
Yes, Ucci crashed. Hope he is ok after his test accident.
The drivers who got stuck behind @AndreucciPaolo in SS13 will be given a nominal time by organisers. That includes Giandomenico Basso.

I hope they decide it soon so we know where everyone stands.Quote:

Not too terrible video from yesterday. The Tyre change at the end has to be one of the slowest and least organized I've seen in a professional rally.
Poor Paolino....he survived horrible crash on July 13th, and again had an accident on 13th stage......still, old guy has a huge luck, as his closest opponents (Scandola and Cempedelli) also retaired on this event.

Why they measure time of passing through three donuts and two chicanes is beyond me.
Anyway do they make roads from ice in Rome? It looks unnaturally slippery.
Bah, it's just a rally not deserving to be in ERC (let alone WRC, as someone already suggests). Plenty of better rallies in Italy, or somewhere else in Europe.Quote:
