BY 40?????? wowowow!!!!
Impossible from splits. 16:00 looks more realistic.
Ogier 0.5 behind Loeb.
SIT go home!!!
The final stage time says SebO is 43 secs faster than SebL, I wonder if we should trust those times, though.
EDIT: It's been corrected now to 0.5 slower then Loeb.... awesome work from SIT :mad:
It make no sense to follow the splits at this rally.
once more troubles with timing??
Times corrected now. This is a farce.
Corrected... (facepalm)
Isn't the fact that he has decided to completely disregard Loeb exactly that? An acknowledgement that there is way to much risk involved in trying to fight him, so rather just go at a pace you feel safe and comfortable with and then just make sure you keep second place?Quote:

It's not that he isn't acknowledging Loeb, he's just chosen his battles wisely - an approach that I admire personally.
Østberg not to fast... Hanninen even slower it seems
You base Your opinion on the assumption that Ogier speaks same what he thinks and how he acts however I'm far from being sure about that.Quote:

The battle between Hirvonen, Latvala and Hänninen could be epic in the next two days!
And I like a mix of Alen (my all time favourite) and Mäkinen
Times look very strange from last stage, many are equal and really look like they are invented by a tracking team lost their operational abilities.Quote:

This is why I don't follow the splits often. Just come here and find out from you lot! It saves me a little grief.
Go Hanninen!
Novikov and Hanninen with stage wins made the day interesting... and Ogier with his words more than his driving ! :talk: :laugh:
Two more days like this will be fun... :facelick:
And the fastest driver day2 is...
1. Loeb
2. Novikov +2.6
3. Ogier +14.7
4. Sordo +36.8
5. Østberg +1:04.4
6. Hänninen +1:07.8
7. Latvala +1:11.0
8. Hirvonen +1:36.0
That's very unkind to farces. They can at least be funny occasionally - a WRC where they can't show the correct stage times isn't a farce, it's quite simply dumb.Quote:

Most driver give standard and predictable answers. which makes the interviews alsmost a waste of time. Charachters like Hanninen and Ogier spice WRC up in the after-Loeb period of rally. A real shame that Petter is missing in WRC.Quote:

Last year Monte was not in IRC. And Eurosport was asked to do "any coverage" two weeks before start of the rally so there were no chance to organise live coverage...Quote:
