Aigner said they had lack of power after some frontal impact on SS1. I wounder about intercooler or intercooler pipe - the most vulnerable Lancer parts...
Damaged frontend of the car early on first stage of today and have lack of engine power.Quote:

Taking it easy, might be smart !!
Unfortunately Sandell is good only in Sweden. With super2000 car he should be way faster than with any group N car.Quote:

LOL Subaru LOL
Annoyed by that crappy team. In those first stages that car was probably in the level of Suzuki (considering the fact that Petter and Chris are better drivers than Gardemaister)
in wrc.com you can see that he was 30 minutes late to TC 3. Time limit is 20 minutes I think? isn't it? So, he should be out of the rally after the service?Quote:

I miss Grönholm now. Latvala might be equally fast in some environments and Hirvonen is also fast sometimes but in rallies like Greece and Jordan they stil seems to be far from perfection.
I'm surprised by your high expectations...Quote:

S2000 will never be as fast as GroupN on gravelQuote:

I remember in Jordania and especially in Sardigna when he lost lots of time after having shone during the first day... :rolleyes:
Oh boy, go and watch results of rally of Portugal..Quote:

The most important is that the car is consistent. Petter had realy interesting split times with old car. At the start of the stage he had superb splits and at the end the time was nightmare. now the time is getting better as the stage progresses.
Hänninen - current leader in rally and most probable pwrc winner - is not competitive?Quote:

Want to bet on that one? :)Quote:

The S2000 is clearly a faster car but I think its still very unreliable therefore its no chance to win the overall PWRC championship in a S2000, it's for both GrN cars and S2000 more like a survival game in rallies like this.
Running order for tomorrow starts to look familiar - again...
Sordo will lead this rally after day1, mark my words :)
