Actually 0.5 sec/km is better than expected. And they have gone from 0.9sec/km to 0.5 in the first day. In addition the 0.5 sec/km is coming without the road position advantage they had in the first loop.Quote:

SS1 is at 7:58 GMT
SS2 is at 8:41 GMT
This +0.5 sec/km makes 3 to 4 minutes on full distance, how much where they normally behind with the old one?Quote:

The Suzuki's are looking a lot better this time, but still not good enough to get into the game. I don't know why, but it looks like both Suzuki are bouncing to much on the rocky sections.
Terrible access to SSS, 60 min just to get in the parking area. I don't understand the organizers, what's the point of designating huge parking lot, when only one entrance exist. Probably half of the visitors missed the start of the SSS.
I bet petter will stay or be on the podium by end of day two, let's see how it goes.Quote:

So they work now? Great!
Morning, first stage of today started 8:58 GMT+1 (DST) :) Splits are working, first two cars already left into stage 8, the hardest one.Quote:

Loeb is quick out of the "box". 1 sec faster than Latvala on split 1.
PS: I have a feeling that Sordo is going to win his first rally this weekend. Am I the only one?
As I see who's here, I have to say Hej, Bon jour and Zdravstvujte at least ;)
And also tere hommikust which is in estonian.Quote:

Only East Europeans are awake yet? + 1 Dane...
Only the true fans! lolQuote:

We all can see old Xsaras and even C4-s now in private hands. There's a huge amount of Fords, 06, 03-04, 02 etc in private hands...
But can we see old Impreza anymore? Or is it gone as soon as Subaru is using the new model?
yap, the strongest rally nations.Quote:

I think Östberg proved last season that an impreza in private hands can work nicely without major problems.Quote:

Maybe a puncture for Aava :confused:
Edit: Jonkka was faster than me :mark:
I wouldn´t say that, cause there are quite a lot of imprezas in ireland, but somhow m-sport has handed out more focuses. but it all depands on little thing at the end of the day.Quote:
