I agree with you. To sum up, the Cheats Citroën...

Visibly upset by the problem, which occurred in the final 25-mile run through the Jordan River test, Ogier said: "We had a problem with the communication from the team. We didn't receive the last information until we had finished the stage. Okay, it's not the plan we wanted to do, but at least we're not first on the road. What can we do?
"We had a lot of split times coming to the car in the long stage and we were okay and driving on the same rhythm as Jari-Matti. But when I didn't receive his final split at the end, the plan from the team was to continue to push if I had no information. Then the target time came three seconds after the finish. We missed the last information, which was also the most important one."
Rally leader Sebastieb Loeb said: "It's not ideal, but what can we do?'"

They should exclude everyone except our boy Kimi. He is the only one that plays it coool. And he happens to be Finnish and also drives a Citroen, so everybody on the forum will be happy.

I also feel Jari could fight for the win if he was driving not with a 2nd driver mindset.

F1 Sepang qualifying was more interesting.

Mmm, and that is the problem. F1 = Motorsport, nothing else counts. And with todays farce, it will turn more people/media against the sport.
What are interested Manufacturers to think? Er, no thanks....

What would manufacturers say when they see MotorsTV coverage (if they could receive the channel)?? In 45 minutes you barely see the cars...

The problem is that he can roll the window down only by rolling the car and breaking the window. They cannot open their windows :-)

Well this latest round of the WorldRoadsweepingChampionship will fit very nicely in the schedule of Dave tomorrow evening amongst all the other comedy programmes.

Not an easy thing to do in a C4 ;)

Has Petter Solbrtg WRT entered the Teams championship? On eWRC.cz he is entered in the Manufacturer standings
