Ostberg comes fast!
Mads had a big moment, but goes fastest!
If I remember right to my Sisteron visits, the last part uphill of that road in the wood could be full of snow and ice. That years was boring to watch the cars, because all are using tarmac tyres and on the snow part they struggled a lot with very low speed. But at the end they were faster then those with studded, because a long way asphalt like on that picture.Quote:

Isn't that where Loeb went off in 2005 or 2006? And then recovered to take 2nd.Quote:

hope wiegand can fix his electrical problem, a wrc2 win in monte would be awesome. btw, he does quite ok, but would have loved to see how fast he is compared to lappi.
For sure Wiegand is slower, because he is still on the road, but Lappi finished and was able to catch flight home :)Quote:

We usually use seconds per kilometer rather than speed difference because it's more practical :)Quote:

Does anybody know what happened to JML ,He always lost the time in the end of one stage (If the split is right),It's amazing for not once ,four or five times,
That's incredible
