Gutted !!!! If it's due to weather only, why not to cancel all the leg(or even the entire rally)conditions should be the same on all stages !!! Crappy weather :mad:

WOW, Kubica did again! Impressive in conditions he has no experience at all
What happened to Marco Tempestini(no time) :confused:
Great time by Lefebvre ss2 !!!! :D
SS4 here: Direto RTP Açores - RTP Play - RTP
Good time by Breen on first stage but struggled on the next one as had puncture and only one spare ...
"Had to be very very careful as we got a puncture in the first one and we only have one spare. Had to drive in the middle of the road."
And after the SSS ...
"Quietly confident we can put a big push on tomorrow ..." :)
Seems to have dried up a bit, at least in the quarry.
3 stages, 3 wins! Go Robert!
Just watching the video's it is really clear how much faster the RRC cars sound compared to the N/A S2000 cars...
The DS3 RRC of Kubica really sounds like a 'proper' rally car... fantastic compared to the revvy, thrashy Skoda's.
And if it sounds great, it usually is great ! :D

Robert surprised again, he must finish this rally..... I think, Breen can drive faster.
Kubica is fast, hope that Citroen give him a WRC to asphalt :)
Is the Citroen RRC the new Fabia?
I like the sound of the Fabia, but the DS3 looks and sounds really spunky compared to the Fiesta RRC.Quote:

The S2000 cars sound good in isolation but there is no comparison to the RRC ...Quote:

I think the future looks (and sounds) good when all the RRC's are in the ERC ...
- Citroën DS3 RRC[/*:m:3xurf4ee]
- Ford Fiesta RRC[/*:m:3xurf4ee]
- Ford Fiesta R5[/*:m:3xurf4ee]
- Mini John Cooper Works S2000[/*:m:3xurf4ee]
- Peugeot 208 R5[/*:m:3xurf4ee]
Foreast has changed again.. there is a little chanche that we do not see any rain before afternoon. But you newer now with showers..
RRCs are old news! The R5s are coming which should sound better still.Quote:

For me, impressive Kubica, good Breen, good Ancian,very good Moura(of course he is in his garden), bad Magalhaes...
will he manage to stay ahead of Jan at his second gravel attempt ? For sure his speed at gravel is surprise for me.Didn t expect to be faster from Jan.Quote:
