I totally agree, I was fuming that all the cars carried on and didnt stop to help. Not so much Mikkleson but the 1st car on the scene should of stopped to help because it cant of been that bad when the 1st car arrived.

Good stage by Kopecky, keep pushing Honza!

Ι think that it was better for Mikkelsen to stop for a minute.Just to say "I feel with you but i can't be much help otherwise." Nothing else.

Please Campana and Bouffier, react in SS10 !!! :(

Jarkko Nikara retired IRC Corsica on SS9, gearbox broken! :(

Ircseries webpage is much better then wrc.com.

Nobody has mentioned McCormack.... Ok, he's not exactly setting the world on fire but his times are not too bad considering he is on his first event with S2000 and on Hankook tyres.

And nobody mentionned Jean-Marc Manzagol for his first outing in S2000/4WD after long absence of rally scene neither ;)
