Latvala does such a good job of acting like he's not the most experienced guy in the championship. Surely it would drive you mad as a team manager.

Exactly! I will add that the role of 000, 00 and 0 cars are all different and their start times should show that. The only advantage of using a modified car as 00, is that it then could quickly be substituted as 0 car, if the 0 crashes or breaks down (it has happened!).Quote:

very good morning from Suninen considering its his first time with a wrc car.
I was about to say the same. Staying out of trouble and not even being the slowest car.Quote:

Isn´t he blaming this year´s pace notes for being too slow ? And that after using the 2015 pace notes his pace improved ?Quote:

He used 2015 notes on SS2 which were made for the previous generation car !Quote:

SS2 is where you can use 2015 pace notes for all of the stage. SS1 hasn't been run since 1989 and SS3 only in the opposite direction in 2015 (so no pace notes to be reused). So the pace improved on SS3 where he had to make completely new pace notes.Quote:

Interesting morning. Biggest surprise I suppose is Ogier’s pace, or lack of it...
Will be interesting to see where Meeke can get back to...
Ford unexpectedly fast
Citroen (or Ogier specifically) unexpectedly slow
Toyota no real surprises
Hyundai a bit faster than expected with Neuville and Sordo and as slow as feared with Loeb

depends if citroen can dial in their setup... otherwise meeke could still get at least 3rd if Evans and Tanak don't have a problem.
looks like it split in half again...?Quote:

Far majority of our events uses zero cars of a team of professional safety car drivers who use civil vehicles (Octavia and Fabia RS). These guys have been doing their job for more than ten years without any issue with incoming competitive cars. Currently the longest stages are around 25-30 km long, in the past we have had a stage of more than 40 km as well.Quote:
