No, it is not possible. You cannot give extra spare tire in 39 sek and bar codes are checked. He was just stuck behind in his dust. Dani´s GPS signal was lost and therefore team didn't know when Aava reached to the back of Sordos C4.

The only way to change tires is to give it on the stage and switch it back after the stage.. but too risky in my opinion.

Tom, I didn't use the technical wording in my post, by "power" I meant more "muscles". Yes, no turbo (just high revs :) ) but the car is visually faster.
Here is picture for you ;)

Ford boys have not been as smart as Loeb. But the big news in this rally is that Petter has gained his confidence and is drivng as he should be

I'm going to be the dissenting voice here.

I've seen nothing that tells me Subaru are back. If you take out the misfortune that hit the Fords and mistakes by other drivers, Subaru would still be in the same boat that they were in with the new car. They've been fortunate this rally, which as anyone knows is a feature of the Acropolis.

I would have LOVED to be there for that moment.
