[IRC] Rallye Principe de Asturias 2009

I think there's a few "please, no, whys" in there but that's all I could get!

Is easy to end with tactics on rallyes. Put only one driver in each team! :D

Nobody can put an end on tactics. Is part of the game. Ours day motorsport is very very expensive with much money around.

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help!

Hevia - What can I do, Pin?
Pin - (Notes)
Hevia - But where did I suffer the punture! I didn't touch anything! ...
Pin - Be quiet...
Hevia - What?
Pin - Do you wanna stop and change?
Hevia - Of course, mate... "Me cago en mi puta madre" (Impossible to translate, sorry...)... Please... I didn't cut anywhere!
Pin - Here!
Hevia - Please... (Cries) ...handbrake... (Cries) ... handbrake...
(Out of the car)
Hevia - No, no, no... No, please, no... Please...

In fact, it seems that they didn't cut the tyre, but a valve wasn't correctly closed, so the tyre lost all the air (I was 50 meters before, and the car was slow, with warning lights, but anybody saw the puncture...)

This is absolutely brilliant. Thank you so much, eloyf1!

I saw reported somewhere that the 3 RMC cars ran out of spare wheels. I don't know if this means they all had multiple punctures and not enough spares or ran out of tyres in service. Strange that it all happened on one stage.

RMC provides 10 tyres each driver for the whole rally.

The drivers wanted more tyres. RMC would not provide more. The drivers agreed to retire because they had degraded all.
