Yeah - isnt there some rule where if you are disturbed by the driver in front, you get a reduced time?
Surely Mikko's dust is disturbing Petter.

No, it's a part of rally.

Duff, that’s nice to read that RBR is also in a good way to practice but I understand the real thing is an other world. Maybe also understanding pacenotes, if you don’t know the stages it soo difficult even with RBR.

Sagsert, RBR is not an arcade game,it quite a rallysimulator and if you ‘play’ and not drive it If you will, you can understand much better what rally driving is about. I don’t say how it is to be rallydriver, only to understand it better.

Thanks Subarunorway1 for the link, maybe we can conclude that both Tanner and yesterdays stages are extreme difficult ;-)

Well that's unfair - sulk :(

Now JML is guaranteed third. Is there still a small disadvanatge for Loeb running first, or has that now gone?

JML was sure to get past Petter at any rate, he had halved the deficit in just two stages. Loeb will still suffer a little during the re-runs but since JML is 2nd on the road and Petter 5th, it'll be interesting to see how it turns out.

Also bear in mind that tomorrow is not just mickey mouse, it's as long day as today.

Maybe dropping to fourth could be an advatage for Petter in the running order for tomorrow? Interesting to see if Ford or Subaru drop time delibarately - if both do and Henning overtakes that would be ironic!

Still dreaming of a Solberg 1-2!

On another note, another good result for Villagra here in Greece.
