I got the answer on Loeb's issue:
"Totally allowed according to FIA General Prescriptions, Art. 11.4."
Which reads:
11.4 It is forbidden to tow or transport the cars, or to have them pushed, except in order to bring them back onto the road or to clear the road. Any infringement will be reported to the stewards.
I am dead certain that the yellow scandal press has (or will have) a report blown out of all proportions regarding this incident. Anyone has today's IL or IS at hand?
.
Loeb has spun
-6.4 to Hirvonen in the ss23 in the overall 11.8 for Loeb.... the last SS have only 07,54 km...
Good time for Wilson in the ss23! 05:52.1
Goodmoring all.
Unfortunately not any big battle this weekend. This championship is just a walk in the park for Seb. After dominating the Finish stages with no obstacle at all , just Mikko being a close observer I think that the rest of the championship will be really easy for him. Ok is motorsport and everything could happen but the guy is in a class of his own. Or more correct the package Citroen-Loeb is in another level from the rest.
History will write a French winner to the Finish stages but as it seems it would mean something if Gronholm was in Sebs way to the top!!! I didn't imagine that Seb would have such an easy Rally with noone of the local drivers being able to challenge him.
Unfortunately Gronholm's retirement makes the job of the French team way to easy. Latvala and Hirvonen not close at all to Gronholm performance for the moment. Maybe a combination of the two....
And the rest are way back.
Don't misunderstand me. Is not that I don't like Seb to win, I don't mind for that, but I don't like it when it is too easy for him. Is just too bad for the sport.
I feel somehow the same kleisj. Loeb is just a class of his own right now. Strange thing is how fast Hirvonen was last year in Finland (faster than Loeb), and how he is a bit slower this year. 'a bit' Because the difference is not that big. I have the feeling that the Citroen has improved on the Ford or the other way around.
The stupid thing in WRC IMO is that only few drivers can battle for victory and that it is the same story almost every rally. Apparantly it is very hard to build a competitive WRCar, even for Subaru, which means victory is exclusive for two manufactures. Things should become a lot more simpler.
I agree with you perfectly.Quote:
