0,33 sec is huge difference among top drivers. I don't say it's impossible. I say it's far from being ideal.

By driving Ogier cannot take 40 seconds against latvala on gravel... so other things have to come into play to win.

What will be the starting order tomorrow, isn't it reversed?

No. FIA declared it's a tarmac rally so finishing order today is start tomorrow!

No. Finishing order after SS 8 (powerstage) is starting order for tomorrow
SS9 Salou 2km does not effect starting order

At next stages if Latvala dont push,Sordo will follow his splits and dont push too.In this case is not difficult for Ogier to climb back easy way till night.Lets see!

WRC.com - 'Joint leader Dani Sordo insists he has not decided whether to implement tactics this afternoon to engineer a better road position for tomorrow. If the time gaps stay close, the Spaniard could slow to force Jari-Matti Latvala to open the road and sweep the loose surface stones. But Sordo said he would wait and see what the standings are before the penultimate stage, after which tomorrow’s start order is calculated.'

Looks like tactics are as important as outright speed this afternoon ... :rolleyes:

stage 7 live.

Ogi starts strong but then it fluctuates a bit...

Ogier 4 sec slower at split No5 from morning pass.

seems nobody pushing.Even Mikko and Neuville almost equal after 20km stage.

congrats to FIA.

Ogier 10 sec slower from morning pass.

23:36.1 "I do not have any one (splits) of Jari-Matti (Latvala). If I tell you one thing, you can believe me…"

Sordo gives JML the lead by 0.1s ... now that's tactics ! :D

:D Again Finn is leading tarmac rally!!! :D Just more hana.

El Priorat 1 Neuville comments..

I'm pushing to the maximum ... nothing more I can do:.I do not know why we are losing time, I do not understand

time=23.35,9

El Priorat 2

Now it is not understeering. I really enjoyed now, the feeling is completely different. We just sorted out

time-23.37,0


......................... :colour: :D ;)

Neuville's performance here is worrying for Ford (M-Sport).

If he cant beat Sordo and JML he may be more inclined to jump to Hyundai ... :(

As I read it he's already decided to jump! Tyre conservation important before Colldejou 2

What a stage from Kubica, only 0.83 s lost per km to Ogier.

Slower times in second runs of asphalt events are not so special. There is usually much more dirt on the road than before.

Kubica 3 sec faster,and is not the only one.
imho nothing is right about Neuville is talking.Just the top ones dont pushing.We have seen the same story plenty of times.

"We don't want to take any risk. Some how I have to use this mileage for training. We want to use this rally as a learning process." ;)

It doesn't make much sense as well. Ogier and Neuville have every reason to push. They are too far behind. They can keep their positions for tactic reasons but they don't need to be 30-50 seconds away. They can be 20 or so.

So it turns out Sordo's tactics yesterday to drop behind JML helped him a lot. He is the only one able to do any tactics. There is no point for JML slowing down as Dani will react, and he will want to stay as much in front of Thierry and Seb. Let's see what happens!

Probably that's their real pace, Seb was not as quick as yesterday this morning, and TN had his usual pace. Probably is the dirt in the road that explains the drop in time, or maybe reserve a bit the tyres for Power Stage? TN needs the points for championship.
Dani should not be bother about the extra points IMO.

That was my point. Dimitris was speaking about everybody cruising now but if that was true the two would come closer but that was not the case.

That's very childish. dimvii's English isn't perfect but very easy to understand...
About the rally, seems like Jari-Matti has a good opportunity to win this one... unless he acts like Jari-Matti :p

not cruising,but not pushing 100% Mirek. ;)

Guys, can You stop quoting Slowson? Thank You ;)

the solution mirek is not to put your head in the sand when someone annoys you. just ignore him... or not.
