I disagree! Maybe co-drivers should dictate the notes then?? It is drivers fault as he is dictating notes. I have no doubts about Anttila's co-drivers skills.Quote:

I hope i'm wrong...
I highly doubt Latvala will ever become a champion. Even with all his great pure speed.
One of the main rules of a successful person: "Underpromise, but overdeliver".
In case of Latvala it's unfortunately vice versa: "Huge OVERpromise, but absolutely NO delivery"...
I think that Jari tought that rock is too far from the road and he dos not need to cut that corner as much.. if you listen Miikas pacenotes, then there is also something strange.. he says something two and then from the half word he says three.. maybe I just misheard something.. because there are constructionworks behind my window and i cannot heard the sound very well :-)
Ostberg?? Not a good example - he's routinely thrown the car off the road first day in just about every WRC round he's competed in this year!Quote:

Well, obviously there can be only one source for the original footage... Note the small WRC text down left (on JML's black seat). At first I thought that it was embroiding on a cap but that would have moved with the movements of the car so it can only be official logo superimposed onto each frame... it's not visible on cropped image above...Quote:

..but crashed a lot and heavily in the later years as well, in the same time he provided some of the best and spectacular driving ever! I think JML 's early career reminds a bit Mcrae to me.Quote:

What are you implying? Which driver does so?Quote:

It is normal, because there is not a very talented Finnish driver in S1600 (Kalle Pinomäki is no top driver) as they are in Group N cars. Even in the past years, Group N cars were faster than S1600's. ;)Quote:

Agreed, I´d like to see the sources where he has said those kind of things. Should be hard, cause there is none, not in Finnish at least.Quote:

thats not an evolution.
previous models used to be numbered ie I-II-VIII-IX
Yes and no. It's still numbered but numbering isn't used in all markets.Quote:

thats right jonkka ! thats why i edit it.
The ford kids must learn to drive without following the lines of the front drivers, when they open the road and create their own they lack pace....last year Hirvonen was flying using the lines of Loeb and Gronholm...I was certain that someone of the ford kids was going to make a mistake.
The rally is far from over though 9 seconds is nothing.....and finland is a very tricky rally.
I honestly think that Loeb will be satisfied with 2nd place and 8 points from NORF. Then the gap to MH will "only" be 5 points, but with 3 tarmac rallies of the remaining 6 rounds then Loeb should be in good shape. I also think that Loeb will win one of the remaining gravel rallies.Quote:

The rally continues.....Hirvonen and LOeb equal on first split...
and equal on the second as well...
but not on third...
If the 3rd split is equal as well then it's as spooky as Jerez 1997 (F1) when Schumacher, Villeneuve and Frentsen all set the equally fastest time in qualifying.
