At least FIA is taking some action, they have sent an proposual to all the competitors for changing the rules in rally Turkey so that early check in dont change the running order.
Good! let us see if any teams dares to say no to it...
That is just papering over the cracks.Quote:

According to swedish newspapers today, Malcolm W phoned PG before Turkey and asked PG to start in the Pirelli Rally this coming weekend in Fiesta R2.
So PG will travel to England by boat or plane and drive.
This is great news! Hope they talk together a masterplan of some Focus WRC-Stobart starts as well. :)
Excellent news. As you say, hope it leads to something.Quote:

He needs to win this if he wants things to start moving. To many swedish drivers have been having good opportunities but crashed them away over the years.Quote:

And a car breaking down is also an outcome, but let´s hope for the best!Quote:

Wilson must think: "If you can't win join them." Or better: Wilson wants a Fiesta S2000 win with Anderson.
So what? Anderson is not a factory driver of Skoda.Quote:

I bet Wilson likes that!Quote:

Other than that he only won one stage and ended the day 20 minutes behind the leader, his teammate Alister McRae.
I'm surprised he and Alister aren't miles ahead of everyone, since they're the only ones in S2000 cars- the rest seem to be in Group N. Are the Proton S2000s just not as good as the skoda/fiesta?
Don't know about SS4 but on SS1 Atko had electrical problems.
Whoops, my mistake. Nothing unusual happened on SS4, I read the time wrong.
PG went off after one of rear wheels locked up in 140km/h. They rolled and then could continue but with brake failure.
After that they retired. Pity, but what can you do with a car letting you down...?
I think PG again showed his speed. :)
Yeah, once again PG showed that he has troubles to keep his car on the road for the whole rally distance.
I´m sure you have some fresh examples or do you just insinuate he´s a bad driver? :confused:Quote:

OK, you´re not mean.Quote:

How many examples would you like to have when he´s consistent? Swedish championship last year in Evo 9? Rally Sweden 2010? Rally Norway 2009?
I think until we know for sure this time it´s not so clever to insinuate anything for such a fast driver as PG appearently is.
The Proton is not as fast as the top S2000 cars but it's not bad (much better than the MSD Opel Corsa for example)Quote:

Atkinson is already on same level as McRae when you watch the stage times
Indeed, it appears that excluding SS1 Atko was only a few seconds behind McRae... pretty good for being new to the car.
Are S2000s better on faster rallies? I thought it would be the opposite, since I was under the impression that group N cars had significantly more power.
