Could S2000+ challenge current world rally cars straight away? If not, these conditions basicly means that wrc will continue one more year like this.

The two-minute clips on wrc.com sums up the legs quite nicely I think.

That was my question yesterday!

Why use chronometers up to 1/10th second? The way Citroëns are going, they'd better use a calendar...
This is not how Rallies should be, because one minute difference now is not as it was twenty, or thirty years ago, when true rallying existed...

You mean like Monte Carlo 1988, with a 10 minute gap from first to second?

Or Monte 1978, with a two minute difference between first and second by the end of the rally?

Or Finland 1988? Three minute gap between 1st and 2nd.

I didn't try to pick results to prove my point, but I'd doubt there'd be any much different.

Easier if you let the time-series to do the work for you:

Oh, now that is interesting! Thanks :)

My pleasure

Henning is outpacing Atko, no change of position just yet then...
