2008 Rally New Zealand - official thread

I just wanna say:

I love how sometimes Karma strikes back :D :s mokin:

Congratulations to Seb and Elena for the victory, kind of shame for Mikko, but hey, that's rally...

Watched the coverage on TV last night, and I must say that I was very dissapointed by that - again. I don't like the approach where they only concentrate on the duel between the top 2-4 drivers, showing the other drivers 5-10 secs each. For instance, I think I saw Henning for max. 10 seconds - and he won 7 stages, and were fastest overall on both day 2 and day 3! Very good driving from him, even if he had a good road position due to his misfortune on the first day.

Otherwise, good driving from Sordo aswell, fast and consistant. Another terrible rally for the Subaru team, especially day 1, incredible that they actually loose time to Matthew Wilson on several stages!

I've enjoyed this rally, because this tactics. It is part of the game. This make rally exiting. It is not a walk over for any driver. It is competition until the last day. That is ok.

It was exciting because it was contrived, I'm all for competion, but not when it's manufactured, it just makes WRC look a joke, this isn't WWE. Watching Latvala and Loeb stopping at the end of the stage on Saturday is just absurd, while they're not breaking rules it looks terrible. Lets have a rethink for next year.

Good post, close competition is good but no true fan should want to see false competition

Roy seems to be getting a bit excited while not knowing much about what Daniel was refering to in his post....

I see no other point then by first reading. My reaction is still the same.

If you dont' understand the post it's not my fault/problem :)

Cut the BS seems to understand it just fine.

Lol! Just saw the Dave review with Loeb dissing Elena for maybe losing the win last year cos of his weight :p

Came up with new nicknames for them with a friend.

"Golden arse and chubb chubb"

Hope it's not too mean :p

First of all, good evening to everyone. It my first post on this Form.
Basically I disagree with the theory that tactics part of the game. I think that rallies must be ‘played; straight without tactics, and actually reduce the spectacle!!
