After all it's the Monte, and now they're in P5 and 6.

I know, but just survival-mode wont win any fans.

True, but for the Monte probably the right approach.

It will not get them any fans who are retarded enough to think that Monte is about flat out driving...

if they keep the same attitude on the following events then we can start blaming.

So all but the VW drivers should just drive around at Monte-Carlo with no risks. Great that would be for everyone to watch.

Yet he lost only 29 seconds to Prokop, on 37km stage

if you remember last year Meeke was playing the long game also (with a bit of speed), he came 3rd at the end...

So the fastest drivers are not the ones who drive in Top 5.

Great speed but in the end he goes home with 0 points (except if he shows something on powerstage).

Kremer 2nd o/a and Camilli faster by30sec of any other WRC2 %):spinhead:

There has to be some element of trying to be fastest otherwise whats the point, it might as well be just an endurance event.

If you have an off or a spin, at least it shows you're trying. Respect to those that try, not those who just take no risks whatsoever just to finish.

they actually did that including the VW team... the only one who took risks was Loeb and we know how this ended.

I you observe him you get the feeling that he is not in a hunt for points......he wants to win stages....unfortunately for very high costs.....but, respect for him. He showed today that his days (better say his events are coming soon) and there will be points. For sure!

The Peugeot driver is second quickest in WRC2, 2.7sec slower than Lefebvre. And he's delighted. "Finally! I have to take my hat off to my engineer, he's made a big, big, big improvement. After our test I thought I knew how to set the car up - but now we are on the correct set-up. My rally starts here!"

at this stage was 30 sec slower than Camilli....

A fantastic podium fight in prospect tomorrow - just 22.1sec separates second to fifth place.

Koci has plenty of experience with group N (Evo 9) and Skoda Fabia S2000 in national events. I think mostly Czech Republic and Slovakia if I'm not mistaken. Last year he showed some speed with DS3 R3 as well, in Finland he was also doing very well imo. Another guy to keep an eye on. :)

It is not first time with 4WD. He has experience with Skoda Fabia S2000 and he has started also with this Fiesta R5.

I'm confident Eric Camilli can do it. Count off his time-loss in SS1 he would have been in a solid lead of almost a minute... But unfortunately this isn't the case..

Count off his time-loss in SS1 (because a puncture)
