why radio is so bad and livetv is perfect?
Is it just me that the WRC Radio on the app (Android, Nexus 4) cuts out for once every couple of minutes? Needs to be on TuneIn......
Ogier is ensuring 15 points plus the chance to boost to 18 in the PS - he knows to stay ahead of Paddon and JML while road cleaning here requires no margin for error, so he is going to ensure there is not a DNF. The man has a brain as well as his natural gift. If he continues to take 3rd places it will be a long time before anyone can catch him in the championship.Quote:

Great to see the speed of hyundai boys. Great fight!!
SS11: OSTBERG
7.8sec slower than Ogier. "I pushed really hard because this is my favourite stage of the rally. We put a lot of energy into our recce for this one. A very good stage for us
Lol, really?
I think Ogier cannot win this by driving alone anymore, but Latvala is Latvala so we will have to wait.
Ostberg only 4 sec slower then Ogier.Quote:

Evans in his R5 matching Camilli's times. :D
He did in SS9 but lost another 2 minutes to other WRC2 drivers in SS10.
I think Camilli is doing fine. He can't afford to have problems again, so he's taking it slow and safe, which is what he has to do. Neuville will get ahead, but he still can take Solberg and keep decent 8th place.
edit: 9th place, forgot Ligato...
No future in WRC if this is fine in anyones mind from factory driver.Quote:

Another stage win for Elfyn Evans in the WRC2 category through SS12.Quote:

SAT 11:52 - SS12: TANAK
"The morning has been good. Trying to carry on where we left off yesterday. Not taking risks but trying to match Mads."
I didnt start this about the WRC2, I said he was matching Camilli's times.Quote:

Well, in WRC there aren't so many manufacturers waiting to join as there are football-teams who want to join the big leagues... ;)Quote:

Ogier due to start at 1417hrs.
Sat 13:48 - Itinerary delay
The earlier delay remains so this afternoon's schedule is running 20 minutes late.
i was a bit worried that we might finally have a rally argentina without a fuck up from the organisers...Quote:

20min delay at previous stages was from a mans death that they had to move out of stage,so NOT their fault.Quote:

Ligato is also driving really well.
Fuchs new leader
Sat 15:06 - SS13: WRC 2 Al-Kuwari
He completes with the loss of more than 9min and his car looking battered. "We rolled after a 90 degree left-hander. It took us a long time to get the car back. Then we had a flat tyre and now we have only two-wheel drive. I cannot believe my luck." The time loss drops him from 1st to 3rd in class.
