meekes crash was almost identical to martins crash in Corsica 2003 only this time the corner was a right hand one. I have seen external footage of it but cannot find them on youtube or the wrc.com webpage

Oliveiras crash was big one but no footage yet.
Yes , Kuipers can put some pretty solid stage times on asphalt , I must say I'm surprised :) However , it must be noted that Deutschland and France are probably his strongest rallies in the calendar , since the stages are the most similar to his home stages . About Araujo , I expected a little more from a double PWRC champion during the whole season , especially because some people put him much higher than he really is . But here he's good , fighting with Henning who for me is the all-time symbol of mediocrity in the WRC level ( exception being on snow - he is at the top there ) , so I hope he will improve .Quote:

I disagree...Quote:

Darkstar was very kind to send me this video, now one of my personal favourite onboards!
Also, research carlos reutteman - I had to ask a finnish guy(Eki?) 'cos I couldnt remember this circuit drivers name, but he was very good :)
Oh yes, France :) Will Ogier push for a power stage win?
I must say, I'm a little dissapointed with JML on these tarmac rounds (I let him off with germany, apparently he had problems with excessive visits to the lavatory or something :p :)
My friend , read what I said ;) As you pointed put by bolding , I said that Kubica is an exception . Robert Kubica is my favourite rally driver ever , because whenever I saw him live ( and I had the luck to see him on 2 rallies in 2010 , 1000 Miglia and Alpi Orientali ) he left me absolutely spechless . Just watch this video at 1:09 ( Rallye du Var 2010 ES1 1ere partie.wmv - YouTube ) and you will see what I mean . I am 100% sure that this man , if he wanted to , could be an tarmac winner in the WRC , and with gravel experience , who knows , maybe a champion ? That scenario I am afraid we will never see , and it is such a shame for a natural rally talent like him to take it as a hobby .Quote:

Look at the last 2 F1 world champions that have tried in rallying : Kimi had a few impressive performances in the 2nd Italian league , but he mostly failed in anything higher . And Mika Hakkinen is simply bad at rallying .
Stage running yet? Or a bit late?
6.4 seconds between Sordo and Ogier now!! Sordo says he's down a bit with the dust in the stage! He tried pushing hard! 5 soft compound with one spare... Ogier with 2 spare tyres!
P Solberg also has dust problems.
Less than one hour till next stage.
Kuipers 2nd fastest in stage!
+5min penalty for Lemes? Just for speeding at road section? It's cruel punishment.
