Oh dear me, it's over, move on.
Do the stage opening vehicles have forward facing video cameras ?
I would like to see the part of the stage where Latvala hit the rock.
the rock was placed there from the citroen team...or maybe Mr Bartoz put it there after he removed the tape from the junction....
Some of you guys should quit watching this sport, you have no idea whatsoever about anything....
I dont know if you think i´m sarcastic or if you are in your answer, but the qustion I asked is relevant and should have been asked before the rally.Quote:

JML:
"The impact happened in a very quick section and in my opinion it didn't look like the rock had been pulled out of the ruts by any of the other runners. I was first car on the road and normally you don't see rocks like that when you are first, even though it was the second pass, because the 'zero' car has gone through before.
I don't have any confirmation where the rock came from, but it was very big and sharp and it hit a sensitive area. The Fiesta RS WRC is very strong but if a rock that size hits the front suspension on any car it is not going to be able to withstand it.
I didn't have time to think initially and didn't realise how bad it was. I drove about a kilometre after the impact and then I started to notice something wasn't right. The TCA was bent by the impact and later one of the fixing points broke and the left front wheel started to move freely.
In that moment when I was fighting with the problems, I wasn't 100 per cent sure where it had happened. I felt a couple of impacts but later from the onboard camera shots I could see the rock more clearly. I don't know where it came from - although there is a possibility some spectators put it there."
yes they do, but they are for the organisers and the FIA, and are not publicQuote:

"The junction" is from 19:22 onwards. Interesting... Sounds like atleast Petter/Chris had some pre-information about the cut because of Chris' comments "there's no tape, there's no tape, keep going!"
Citroen had people on the junction who informed their crews before second pass that tape was removed.Quote:
