Mexico 2012

Wow there are many splits for this 41km long stage !!! :eek:

Latvala on a flyer again.

Latvala very fast(see second split)...I hope Hirvonen and Loeb will push harder :mark:

Mikkos set up is for this stage. Let's see how well it works.
He closed the gap from Latvala and Loeb in the last split
on the last stage. Very unlike move for him.

I hope so too, that will be Petters chance to get to the podium.... ;)

Hirvonen lost 3" off Latvala on 2nd split :(

In the opposite, Loeb a bit faster than Latvala on 2nd split ;)
Please, push more, Miko !! :mad:

Tänak lost 10 secs between splits 6 and 7. :s

Mexico is generally bad for anything with naturally aspirated engines. The higher the turbo pressure the lesser problems for engine power with the altitude. So I think that the slower pace of Ogier compared to WRC drivers is mostly due to that.

And Abbring, having avoid spin at start of SS14 already gets several seconds better than Ogier on 2nd split :mark:
