+1 and that what's most peolple wants. Except the manufactores. They only wants their preferred driver to win.Quote:

Best post in this thread since there is this one.Quote:

In a long term, no. But in a short or medium term, yes, it's possible. Greece did it.Quote:

I didn't get the full conversation and don't know who the guy in VW clothing was. Could be Ogiers boyfriend for all I know.Quote:

Its a shame to see sucess always brings haters. Thankfully there are more suporters than haters.
Best of luck for next rally's Ogier.
I think its a good thing that we are asking these questions, keeps things interesting in WRC - having someone who wins as many rallys in a season as Loeb, vurses the IRC champ.
Personally, my money would rest with Ogier, I just think he has slightly more talent than Mikkelson. Thats not to knock mikkelson however, he is very good and maybe possible champion in the future? Or maybe not, but either way, AM has very good opposition within his team!
Mikkelsen,not Mikkelson
still better than the AM....

Haven´t seen this mentioned here before so I don´t know if it is true or not, but this one claims that Latvala crashed into a civil car during the recce:
"Jag kunde ha dött i kollisionen" - nwt.se - Ditt Värmland, just nu!
In a blunt way, if someone would ask me why I love rallying, that picture of Go Fast -livery Henning flying above the spectators should do the speaking for me. That's the whoa effect, and there's more in the nuances.
finnish mtv3max showed those onboard specials last year, does someone know if they show them this year too? i´m really sad that there are no onboards, also from monte...
As far as I know, they haven't showed them anymore. I'm not paying for MTV3 Max chanel, but there was some talk about it on Finnish forum.Quote:

I'm also very concerned about NOS' onboard video archive, it could well end up being deleted/taken to some remote landfill site as a waste - over ten years of WRC footage destroyed is something which gives me chills. Maybe we should start asking around? I already did, but with slim results. Those have to be saved.
Maybe Ford/Citroen media could upload some onboards to internet, atleast during the NOS period they had access to onboard videos. Most likely this season will be very poor onboard-wise. :( This is a return to the pre-2007 season situation when WRC onboards were not shown nearly anywhere.
The NOS-onboards are so bad, that it is no problem if we never see then again.

This guy should be hired! THAT is onboard.
Yeah, I saw that also. I think he met a woman on Colin´s Crest and it was a touch. The woamn decided to make a report to the local police because she experienced him to be ignorant to the accident.Quote:

Rallying as a sport held on public roads is fully dependent on a tolerance of local people. Maybe in Sweden the stages lead through forgotten areas where there are no people living and traveling. But there are also many other countries with public traffic on stages during recce because You can't stop the everyday's life of thousands. Closing roads for the rally itself is more than enough to make some people crazy. If You add few accidents and some portion of arrogance the stage is over. Rallying in my country is a perfect example how to lost some classic stages for that reason...Quote:

This was according to the article a way for the woman to express her aggression to the drivers behavour not to the accident itself. But - being a local knowing there´s recce going on should also mean some tolerance. No rally in the area of Varmland, there would be no villages and habitants as well. That is a true fact.
