Ogier and Loeb. I think it's quite clear.Quote:

Clear....all I want to say that JML will be also part of the game during the season. And I'm not 100% sure if Mr.Loeb would be supreme (if !!) on gravel against JML.....Quote:

It was a great experience being in the Turini. I believe I can't add anything to what you already know. Being there watching the cars is like being in the TV playing a role of a film you have seen many times. As it's obvious, the place is magic. A place where coffee costs as much as beer has to be different:). I'll post some pics the next days.
In general, as I spoke to another fans, I found the event more strict for the spectators than seven years ago. For example, staying at the first hairpins after passing the Col was forbidden. Some people I know who flew back to Porto with me suffered long walks and saw less stages than ever.
The weather was exactly as bluuford predicted, word by word. Thanks again, mate.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlZ-onUGIIU&sns=fb Not sure if already posted, some tricky place. Hard to know the point where to start braking in the fog.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azFM...ature=youtu.be Duez taking the first of the series of downhill hairpins on the powerstage. :)
Not very wise spectators at the end:( - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CSdulhXclQ

Those things have magic beans inside which take air and cram it into the engine....and some of the magic is if there is less at say 1500m the magic parts inside just spin around faster and it crams in more air..
Totally magic...
It was a new invention a long time ago before you were born and they put them on some of these things
http://www.aviation-history.com/repu...urbo-sys-3.jpg
And sometimes gear driven and two stages
http://www.flightglobal.com/airspace...er-cutaway.jpg
So that miraculously they made as much power at 9000m as at lower altitudes...
Should you want to try and read a little about how engines work and the methods for compensating for marginally less dense air at altitude you might try looking at this
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolls-Royce_Merlin
Here is another one of those things, the magic "turbochargers" things are clearly visible about mid-way in the "booms' on top..
Amazing things turbochargers if you learn a bit how they work..
Psssssst the canister on the first piccie is called the "waste gate actuator" and it has a magic thing inside it to control the speed of the magic things in the turbo....that's why altitude is, when speaking of a mere 1600-2000m , unimportant to anybody in the real world...
And heres something that was made not even 3 km from where I write.. They used 4 turbochargers, exhaust driven http://northstargallery.com/aircraft...torical/10.jpg
Surprising a little that you didn't ever hear about these magic turbochargers.
The air should be the same volume, only more thinner (the oxygen which is the essential part of the combustion is much less), that lesser density is the reason the turbo to spin faster. But I'm not an expert.Quote:

In contrary to the promotor, some attention for all categories in autonews (Belgian autosport magazine specialized in rallying). :)
Prevot is Belgian, thatīs the reason ;-)Quote:

Sorry to ask such a question but I was out for the whole rally. Is it true that Kubica was ignored by official WRC media?
I think he was only out off the daily results board. In the coverage he was shown many times and on stage end reports interviewed aswell.Quote:

Exactly. There seem to be overreact by fans, as usual perhaps. He won some stages, ok it was noted in daily coverage, but didn't change the overall leader board.Quote:

Just to make it clear - I don't watch the official footage, I find Internet and YouTube better, so I don't know who was shown and who was not.
On live coverage he was shown. During stage summaries he was ignored, they didn't even show stage results. That was the beginning of it.
