Starting order into second leg
Printable View
Claudio Menzi and his codriver did wake up late and penalized 50s at the start of today´s leg. Good news for Magalhães.
Argentine radio is saying the weather is good today and at the moment there is no fog at the top of the stages.
Good time for Pozzo.
Big gaps in this stage. It's the highest stage I think.
Problems for Villagra on SS9? The gap is huge, 3s/km...
He isnt satisfied with engine power...Quote:

I would tend to agree with the guys on the radio - that he is not committed enough in the corners and not keeping the engine on song. He has been quite slow all rally. Maybe underestimated the competition a little, like Al-Attiyah.Quote:

Nasser is missing...
Nasser had a problem in a water crossing. He stoped but is on the run again.
Nasser retired
Anyone else having problems viewing videos on the IRC official site? I am getting the message "Get the Flash Player to see the video" but I already have it!
Same problem for me.Quote:

SS12, best stage for Pozzo so far, 6 seconds after motre than 19 km.
He may be ableto catch Villagra (even after his penalty yesterday) and get the win for the local championship.
A comment, Villagra is using Pirellis admitted in National Championship, not the ones the M-Sport usually use, in ordet to get points for local champ., i do not know how much difference they can give.
There are some problems with timing. In the moment we don't get more times. Please be patient. We don't know if there is some problem with Villagra or only his time is missing.
Villagra through but drops behind Pozzo.
This wasnt working too. We have direct line with results from organisers. If it isnt working, it is the same here and also on official IRC results.Quote:

It has been a great rally for Skoda, showing his power over their contenders....specially the engine built by Oreca. I´m wrong?
I agree. I think the engine and suspension are the best bits of the Fabia, and it has shown here well. It's not over yet though!Quote:

Sometimes the organizers send those rumours through the radio to make spctators (listening to the radio) to shout other spectators (wrongly placed) t get better locationsso as not to make the stage cacelled. hopefully that is the case.
SS13 running, Juho and Wilks through.
Nice time by JK, slow again by Villagra - let's see if Pozzo can stay ahead.
Federico Villagra (2): There are no improvements on the car.
me thinks that car is ok, at least hirvonen showed this in monte...improvements should be made behind steering wheel ;)
One policeman at the radio told the spectators were walking on the middle of the road making hard they work. But is normal this kind of situation and the spectators are many today suprising the organizers.
Everything is ok now with the spectators.
Colin said on the radio that his car sounds very rough.Quote:

Juho and Wilks through the last proper stage :up:
