Quick declare the rally over now (guess whose Pickem is looking good at the moment - only 6 went for Breen to win)
Is Delecour serious? First no rain tires in Austria and now short gearbox? wth...
roads are well frozen, looks like a proper winter rally only without snow banks :) shame so few top rated drivers (Ketomaa, Breen, Delecour - and thats it...) from ERC came to this rally... on other hand - more chances for local baltic drivers to shine! :)
That's for me no surprise. Breen is faster and I think his 207 is a bit faster. And for sure a better setup because Delecour has a short gearboxQuote:

Munaretto is not serious. Seems gearbox is for italian mountains ....Quote:

Lefèbvre ONCE AGAIN !!! :up:
might be true....so bad choice of team then, if they don´t even offer different gear ratios!Quote:

Last stage of the day running ;)
few pages ago someone's asked about tyres - here is how 15" 'wide' tyre compares to 16" 'narrow' one:

I wrote some time a go I don't like onboard cameras aiming on the crew. This is one of the moments when they can bring an epic footage. I hope we'll have a chance to watch something like that :)Quote:

with these tyres speeds are higher than on gravel. If loads of snow on top of ice - then wider tyre a bit looses...Quote:
