And Duval wasn't as fast as others drivers on gravel, Ogier started slow on Tarmac aswell but Im sure he will pick it up next year.

Yes they are different cases. But at some point both crashed (multiple times) while fighting with Loeb and being in same team. Was saying just that.

Don't remember Sordo crashing when fighting with Loeb for example. Either he was too far behind or he was told to let Loeb go after keeping with him for some time.

Btw. to point out how Ogier was faster than Loeb in Japan this year is making me :rotflmao:
Off course Loebs pace there had nothing to do with his position in championship and rally around his home coming next.

are you norwegian?

Go Petter, must admit im relativley impressed by Raikonnen for his firs GB, if he keeps it on the road...

Today is the day that the once a year rally fns and also the foreign spectators get to witness the beast that is Andy Burton's 306 Coswroth. God I wish I didnt have to work, that'l sound glorious over the tarmac on Epynt!

The tarmac will also sort the men from the boys, I reckon atleast one of the top boys will go off on the tarmac section, possibly Burmah Road...

Shame for Ogier.. But nothing but a temporary setback. He will be fighting for the win in about every rally next year.

Yes in this case they do, but what I meant is that I think he cares more about getting a win than on the total championship.

Yea, I think so. If he push he can gain GB victory and runner up championship, and if he goes off can lose 3rd place championship. So he got something to lose, but I'm sure he will give it 110%.

WOW, can't believe what Peter has done after the second split, he's really pushing for the win

Who are you asking? If it`s Rallyper, he quite clearly has a swedish flag on his profile. He might be living quite close to Norway, like an Albanian or a Turk living quite close to Greece..., but it doesn`t make him norwegian. End of geography lesson ;-)

I do however think, N.O.T, that your evaluation of Ketomaa is rather (!) unjust. He is of course a good driver, but in Wales Mikkelsen is for the moment better than him. It has surprised me though how some finnish forumers has hailed Ketomaa as the next big thing to come from the land of 1000 lakes. I can`t actually see him as a future world star, for one thing because he is already 31 years of age. Now he is being trashed by a 10 years younger Mikkelsen. If I was a team boss and had the choice between Ketomaa and Mikkelsen, I wouldn`t be in much doubt...

At the moment Latvala is the big thing from Finland. ;) :s mokin:

Agree, but not the "next" big thing. Ketooma has to think about the championship but he is quite a lot slower as Mikkelsen.

Rather bad time for JML on this stage, was it the one with the tarmac inside?
