Why did You delete word "hopefully" from original post?

This is what he said: "
We drove on the planned pace trough stage 4, 19,89 km ” Elikonas” witch will be drives as SS 8 as well later today.

It`s is very many blind crests and conditions that make this weekend very important. Next year we hopefully will drive a WRC car on this stages, and we have to be as prepared as possible. It`s crucial that we gather data, make pacenotes and so on as good as possible."

On the other hand JML has set the majority of his stage fastest times from the lead or competing for it. Sorry to be stating the bleeding obvious but the selective use of statistics is one of my particular betes noirs

Agree....but why do you think loeb was on cruise mode in ss4?

Eh?

btw, Loeb doesn't have to win every rally to get the title. If he never crashes then the title is his. Just because other people don't drive so smart and crash. He has 63 point lead over Latvala and 18 over Petter. So if Petter doesn't get nr1 Ford driver, then Loeb has no problem to drive to finish a bit slower.

Latvala 2.7sec slower than Loeb at 2nd split
