He used his budget for start with 207 S2000 in Waldviertel rather than going to Scotland. He used Waldviertel as important test for next season as he said learning new car on familiar roads is better for him. He is in Scotland for recce.Quote:

All you Belgians coming over here better have your waterproof clothes packed............ looking like proper Scottish weather over the next few days days, may be dry on Saturday if we're lucky but it looks like it will be very muddy indeed!

BBC Scotland video with Meeke and brief talk about McRae's influence:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/scotland/8363425.stm
Nice video, thanks
Greetings from litle chief on the way to Perth (from Stirling) :)
Will be very interessting to see the big fight, the battle of Britain !
I just sit with a feeling that Wilks has a bigger mouth than Meeke, and pumps himself up too much in the media, and that Meeke more lets his driving speak - but I might be wrong.
Did you get out of Little Chef alive?Quote:

Yeah this just dropped through my door a couple of minutes ago. Pretty telling Autosport didn't bother to do this for Wales GB this year. But then again it looks quite clearly like Peugeot commissioned this. A lot of backslapping and advertisement but there does look like some good stuff in there too. Maps, history and a good preview from the looks of it.Quote:

Enjoy the rally everyone! I was jealous until I saw all that mud! Nah I'm still jealous.
Ready for action on SSSs this evening :bounce:
Anybody going to SS3/SS7? (TV stage in the morning)? Got word that part of the stage has been re-routed / changed due to deterioration of the stage due to the weather. Crews recced the new part this morning. Not sure exactly what part of the stage has be changed.
It is the part from my above photos, they are going from junction 4 to 7 now to avoid it, it is extremely muddy in there and has been heavy rain since last night so will be pretty trecherous!Quote:

Why do so many people have Eamonn Boland in their pick em top 8? I'm a huge fan and all but Craig Breen was faster than him on practically every stage in rally GB in the fiesta R2? I know he loves his new GpN, especially on gravel but he will not be on the pace for sure!
SS1 now live with Mathew Safety Wilson on the road.
Where's Tom?
Kris Meeke 1:39:8?? can't be right.. what happend?
1:09.6 is what the commentators say
but live timing shoes 1:39.6...
woooooh!
kris meeke looses 27,8 on first stage!
what happend?
No, 1.09, fastest on SS1.
it's definitely a live timing error..
The commentators state Kris Meeke was fastest with 1:09.6
edit: looks like it has been corrected
00:01:09.6
thx guys!!Quote:

The real rally starts tomorrow. Looking forward to Eurosport in the morning.
Agree, especialy for not native English speaking people it's hard to follow with such number of voices in the same time.Quote:

Gould close to the first 2 im surprised he holded up.
We will see tomorrow on normal stages...
Two Hondas are fighting for the top step in 2WD. The very same Hondas have been fighting in Estonian Championship as well. Koitla has won mostly, with his older Honda :-) Hope to see long lasting fight and hopefully 2WD cars wont get stuck in the stages ;-)
Granted he is in 3rd but lost 4 secs a Km tonight. Guess he has plenty of time tomorrow and Saturday to learn the car.Quote:

Just came back in hotel after a wet super special stage. Alltough the organisers put a lot of effort into this, there wasn't too much people at Scone Palace. Wilson wasn't that fast where we were but Meeke was clearly fastest, you could see it by eye. Real stages are only starting tomorrow, but i think we could see some big time differences. Hopefully it will rain a little less the coming two days, because there is some flooding around the stages allready. It has been a long time since i have seen so much water in one day. :D
