after 3 rallies and after today if you have understant something like this,you are not going right with your mind.Maybe a lot of beers?

This discussion is pointless. As nobody's fan I tend to see things more clearly even with lot of beers.

Has there there been a French Driver thrown out of WRC 3 for Illegal Recee and had an accident with another car while doing this ? I hear there was a press release last night from the organisers and this driver didn't start yesterday morning over this ???? ....Consani

Yes, Stephane Consani has been thrown out of WRC 3:

WRC 3 contender Stephane Consani was today thrown out of the championship after admitting illegally recceing a Rallye de France-Alsace stage last month. Consani was also involved in an accident on the 34.34km Vosges-Pays d’Ormont stage, the longest of the rally, on 26 September.

Consani told rally stewards that when he realised he was being followed by representatives of the rally organisers, he panicked and drove off. The Frenchman, who was accompanied in the car by his girlfriend, withdrew from the rally before the restart this morning ‘for personal reasons’.

Consani, who was seventh in the WRC 3 championship standings, had his points withdrawn and was suspended from the final two rounds of the season. He will be reported to French motorsport’s governing body with a request to consider suspending his competition licence

On a different note, there's an interesting quote by Yves Matton about their tire choice for Friday's second loop:

This afternoon we had very good weather information but we didn’t use it. I think we were little bit too safe.

I am wondering, why would anyone want T.N. to go to Citroën? He is comfortable, fast, regular on the Fiesta and has the benediction & funding from his friend Nasser. Why would anyone change a winning formula?

Good morning. Big rain on the way as predicted!! http://www.meteo60.fr/radars_index.php

Impossible. Ogier always cares about anybody close to him and especially about Loeb. He must be completely mad about public in France not bothering about his WRC title and instead cheering for Loeb. I guess his bad performance may have more to do with this. I can't imagine that this guy would suddenly change in a second and from the predator aiming to destroy all others to a tourist not bothering about the rest.

SS8 should have started :bounce:
