Its not on the shakedown stage, its the road section to the shakedown start...

Unless the car let him down, otherwise since he is ahead it is almost impossible to dislodge him. Time for him to run following Marcu's splits and we knows that he is the Boss in this game.

yes cruising for Loeb now already, ford 2 and 3 would be good, Sordo 5 sofar better that i did think before this rally.

In MC2007, Pipo didn't say the same thing about PSA and Ford engine.
For the "top speed", I remember many rallies where the Xsara was not faster than Sub, Ford or 307...

there will be no tem instructions as atkinson and sordo are to close to risk slowing up, it wold be stupid to give team orders, Hirvonen would most certainley loose 2 places it would be far to risky

Maybe for Sordo, Hirvonen still has to increase the gap, but I don't think that Chris will maintain the pace. Sordo will eat him at the end of the day

That was what I think either yesterday after 'the stone accident'. Loeb had a broken window in the door of Elena.

And read this: :confused: :eek:
After ss10

Car 1. LOEB/ELENA
"We had a gate closed on us. We slowed down and pushed it open again..."
Car 16. WILSON/ORR
"It was a nightmare stage! ...and then someone shut a gate on us. We had to stop and open it...."
Car 35. NUTAHARA/BARRITT
"...A gate was closed and we had to slow down. I nudged it to get through"
Car 34. HIGGINS/MARTIN
"We had a gate shut too. I had to stop and push it aside. It is ridiculous."
Car 31 ARAI/SIRCOMBE
"The gate was half closed on us as well," confirmed Sircombe. "We just managed to squeeze through it."

And there are more. http://www.rallymexico.com/newsReader.asp?id=1311

How many Marshals are there! To less! What a grazy people there. Is that a welcome from Mexicano's??? to WRC! It is strange people anyway!!!
