People are on a vacation, mostly. I will wait a few hours for the loop to end and then see the stage times at once.Quote:

Quite big gaps already
Meeke spin - not a great start...
His car is sporting some rear panel damage and a squeezed exhaust tail pipe. "It happened near the midpoint on a tight right-hander. There was some gravel on the road side, we got the back wheel on it and spun 360 degrees. Not the start I wanted but the car feels fine."
Meeke's team-mate in contrast having a great start !
Ostberg: "It's the first time I've enjoyed a tarmac stage. The car is fantastic. I'm not using the potential but I'm enjoying it."
Looks like it's going to be another VW show...
Yeah, didn't really except anything else.
Sordo goes 4th fastest according to times posted on Twitter... websites still dont show him... :rolleyes:
EDIT - finally now showing.
WRC+ give us the times many seconds before the web site. Great if in future, shows more than the WRC cars.
Clearly they have to make it look like a superior service - in fact they've degraded the speed of the ordinary site! Be a good chap and post the important splits for the benefit of us refusniks ;)Quote:

I'm just thankful for the Citroën site - they seem to be minutes ahead of the wrc.com (non-plus) site.
I must say very unsurprising results for now but many stone walls and steins to go. I'll be interested to see how quick Meeke and Hirvonen are if they can keep their cars on the road. Predictions from Lundefaret at SD that Hirvonen was looking good - slightly surprising given his year.
Ogier dominating SS2 splits...
JML losing 1,7 sec at end of stage
Mikkelsen allready losing about 12 sec!!
This rally and France seem to have crazy mud/cutting - early running guys must have an advantage. Not that they need one!
Quite big differences in times, Ostberg another 2 sec slowers as Mikkelsen
Third time for Meeke, best of the rest.
Lot's of number nines in Ogier's time... 9m 39,9s
Great quote by Chris at end of stage: Ogier wan't complaining about his road position this time i suppose? Road seems to be very muddy after first cars came trough.
LOL, Meeke asking Donaldson "Was Ogier complaining about his road position now?" :D
This is the expected Finland form continuing, I can only think VW 1-2 are on softer tyres than the others for that level of difference already, even with the crap from the cuts.Quote:

It really is a huge difference for 16km... there are two tyre options here right?Quote:

It shuts down for me all the time and you have to restart it , which is quite annoying when you miss half of the drivers.
VW boys demolished all others on second stage. What is doing Bouffier? I expected more from him..maybe he is still not waken up...
Best time in WRC2 goes to Sousa, a little bit surprising but all very close in this category
WRC2 is the joint right now... five guys in a row all within 2 seconds of each others times on this stage. Tanak, Nasser, Sousa, Chardonnet, Tidemand... ha, rally radio just noticed too.

Great time in WRC2 by Julien Maurin, beating all the others by quite a big margin.
In WRC4 the Opel Adam's are dominating, quite far in front of first Fiesta wich is Quentin Gilbert.
Latvalla 0.2 sec faster as Seb on first split stage 3
Camilli in D-mack trophy (his first wrc rally)with Fiesta R2 is incredibly fast in ss2, just 0.1 sec. slower than the fastest JWRC in R3 machinery!
Another very promising young guy from France it looks like!
Edit: my bad he's in JWRC driving also Citroen DS3 R3 but still impresive faster than Lefebvre.
soo which live stage is being shown today?
Ogier kicks back, now 1,2 sec faster as JML at second split
Sordo pissed off at running behind privateers, Melicharek Protasov etc.: "It's incredible, the corners are so muddy and slippery. I cannot start in these f***ing conditions! Here we are fighting to do something good but we cannot do it behind these cars."
Why is he seeded so far down?
JML 0.3 sec faster at the end of the stage !!!
