:laugh: We have to bet some beers regarding our Meeke and Mads views. IMO its obvious Meeke will outpace Ostberg this year on most rallies barring sweden and finland- soo to make it a simplier bet for you il give you 20 beers if Mads finishes ahead of Meeke in the Final Championship Standings. If Meeke finishes ahead you give me 20 beers?? :bounce:[/quote]Quote:

I am stunned that these teams aren't scrambling to track down and hire bluuford, for many rallies now I have never seen him significantly wrong and we've all seen every team (but mostly ford, let's be honest) make bigger wrong calls.
Ridiculous first few stages, just how Monte Carlo should be. It'd be hilarious if Chardonnet stayed in the top 10 to the end just through making correct tyre choices for 3 days!
Of course the driving and the car are still important but on certain rallies a "bluuford" on your team can make more difference than that. Look at the minutes that some fast guys have lost... Latvala, etc.
Sad to see Neuville off and I hope it doesn't indicate anything about his future rallies, but Hyundai still have a car in podium position - Sordo is a really underappreciated driver and he's doing exactly what Hyundai must have wanted. If I had just hired a young Neuville as no. 1, I would want Sordo or Hirvonen to get manufacturer points when things like this happen. Still, so early who knows if the whole top 12 drivers reverse places by the end.
This is a rally I'd really like to see live pictures for just to see the contrast between the guys sliding around on wrong tyres and the guys making huge gains on them - does anyone know if any TV stream will exist for powerstage or anything?
In Edinburgh maybe an exchange could be arranged?

with respect you are all wrong IMHO, road position and its +'s and -'s, tyre choice and keeping it betwwen the ditches are all part of rally, some did it much better than others this morning. No one would claim it to be a representation of who is the fastest driver/car combo in perfect conditions, but it is an accurate representation of who did their job best this morning.
Also how the heck can Bluford tell us yesterday what the teams couldnt figure this morning, respect to you sir, and I think you are overly modest about your meteorological knowledge, in my time on this forum you have made many accurate weather predictions and I cant remember you making any real blunders yet?
If that's your point of view, that's fine, but those conditions don't really show the real driving skills related to rally racing.
Question: Is Kubica faster then all the rest, or he just did the best job this morning?
Im sure that could definitely be arranged. Or if Scotland gets it act together and gets itself on the ERC calendar in 2015(which could happen) - we could exchange there if there was enough Nordic drivers in the entry list for you too come over and support :DQuote:
