There is still a lot of sweeping for the first car, specially during the second pass, due to the local cars that use different lines. Then the first car sweeps the thinlayer of loose stuff from the road and the others just follow the lines.Quote:

Broken driveshaft for Latvala

Game over! Third win of the season for Ogier...
WHat is very interesting to see is Ostberg vs Wilson also.....on one hand we have a driver with no previous experience of the rally and one who has done it 4 times......i hope wilson quits soon because it really is a pain to watch.
Once more Latvala is slipping away from the championship contention.....it was bad luck this time.
"JML stopped on road section prior to SS14. Broke a compression strut in final sector of SS13. Not easy to fix but is working on it"
Gerard Quinn tweets.
Latvala doesn't deserve this....lets hope VW has plans for him....
hmm broken compression strut. It can be fixed and the timeloss might not be the worst. Lets see. Is Ogier ready to go first on the road tomorrow? I think that he is the onlyone of top runners who has same tires for all four stages.
Why do you want him to quit? I would like to see more wrc cars no matter how good or bad drivers are.Quote:

So lets have fun with 5 top drivers and say no to others... 5 cars in a rally... brilliantQuote:

Of course you are going to give everyone a chance for 1-2-3 years to see if he can do something but to have a driver just to have a car to watch is the wrong mentality....there are the village events to see all the cars you want.
For example Osteberg is also relatively slow but he shows he can at least fight....and might have a future.
next stage is on lets see if latvalas problem was real.
Is SS14 delayed? It should've started by now, right?
maybe latvala didn't start it so we have a small gap ??
Latvala is late to the start, so Solberg will be first on the road, lets say that Latvala will be approximately 5 minutes late, that is third on the road
No splits or other sign of life at wrc.com and it's seven minutes overdue now.
yes solberg is in the stage now....
Tell me about one event when I could see 20wrc cars please. So how can you tell who can drive wrc? What are the criteria? Another thing when I am going to watch rally I do not really care who is driving and usually have no idea about times even until the end of rally. I just enjoy watching wrc cars, I have no interest in who wins, who is useless.Quote:

according to rally radio its over for Latvala
Solberg might have a chance tomorrow, or what do you think? I dont think we should say congrats to Ogier yet right?
So, I forgot the refill, that means approximately 10 minutes late for Jari, that means 1:40 of roadpenalties
the first 1-2-3 for the citroen team might be very close.
Well, stagetimes could be an indicator ... and could you now stop spamming this thread with your nonsense!Quote:

Did Latvalla stop in the stage?
Yes, team advised him to pull over, that means +10 minutes and and 9th position for him
Perfect position for Loeb tommorow to get 2nd place...lets see.
