I missed Juho descending Col de la Fayolle (0:33:eek :) . Besides, that bridge at SS5 couldn't be narrower:

Improvements like this is what we want, although I'd rather it separately and full. Sordo vs Ostberg starting Sisteron:

P.S. Sordo knows his stuff (on dry tarmac)!
Remembering a recent post, now is Elena who sends greetings to all those who think it's better for the sport that Loeb and he quit rallying:

I'd love to see the like for Loeb & Ogier :)Quote:

Latvala (for the crash):

One of the other cars had slid off there before me, and I ended up in his tracks. There was nothing I could do."
Turini by night, there are few words that go together better. I almost can feel the freeze and the warm!

I think I know what you mean, although circumstances varies from time to time when he goes off. But me too think it´s too often. With these conditions though and in fact several other drivers went off as well, surely with these unpredictidly surfaces, this was more unluck...Quote:

P.S. JML, listen to that old wise man!
road blocked... by what? - aliens, spectators, snow, ice, piece of rock, accident...Quote:

I can only correct you on the number of stages cancelled in Portugal last year. Three stages were actually cancelled, the second loop on Friday (event organisers had in mind what happened in 2001). Why do I remember it perfectly? It's better to suffer cancellations sitting on a sofa than waiting for the cars at a stage :( .Quote:

Take a bit of a reality pill.
yes, but roadblock has some special meaning, not general. Thats what we want to say. Especially by jokes about aliens
And it became clear two minutes before 17 stage start?Quote:

Clever use of external flash there, very effective.
What you see is what you get - at the surface.Quote:

This is road leading to SS17.... and a clue to the blockage. Seems to me too many posters on here get carried away with themselves looking for a rant.

Ok, monte carlo finished, we have to wait another year now!
I think that beside the turinigate, it was a great rally!
We all have to agree that this rally has produced some of the best pictures and videos we have seen for a while.
For the turini, shame for the spectators that have spent money and waited... But a monte without turini at night... And i've been twice to MC, and all the stages are tricky for access. That is what make it famous and so rearding when get the chance to be part of it!
Loeb, business as usual, he is still from an other league
Ogier, as said before, with the polo its already a strong package. Although we will have a better idea after Mexcio.
Sordo, very good considering snow is not his favourite
Mikko, very disappointing and very concerning for the rest of the season if he wants to be WC
Novikov, shame he got trapped, he was doing his best rally so far
Latvala, don't know if the tricky conditions can be an excuse, as he his as experienced as the top 4 that didn't get trapped
Hanninen, look forward to see him on the swedish snow. Hope MC has given him some valuable experience about the fiesta
Bouffier, serious rally but lack of WRC driving was obvious
Otsberg, seemed lost since stage 1. Hopefully sweden will be better
Neuvile, ...
So now it's time to go through the pictures, and find a nice one for the desktop background!
Ha, and hopefully we will have better timing in Sweden! as what happened was a disgrace at WRC level.Quote:

We all forgot the timing issues among all the fuss, but SIT better fix those, because it is not all about the drivers to have split times, in fact I would prefer they don't and just doing their race as much as they like and can. For example Ogier at SS1 didn't had split times and he was really surprised at the end of it. This is what we want to see.... But back to the timing, these should be acurate, because it is not all about multimedia, sometimes security might be an issue too, and I really hope this wouldn't happen.Quote:
