Any idea why I can't see the pictures? I see nothing in the post and when I dig the url out of the quoted text it says to me that the page doesn't exist.

Does the URL finish with html or jpg? If it is something like .jpg.html then delete ".html" :)

EDIT: Sorry do the exact opposite of what I said :D, add ".html" if it finish with .jpg.

Lappi got 5 minute penalty for driving with blocked wheel yesterday on the road section after the last stage...

Fully agree, the amount of coverage of WRC2 on the daily highlights show is a joke too. Is there a separate show for WRC2 after the event?

I think I know where is the problem. I got to the picture and it has 4,5 MB. I'm now on mobile 3G internet and therefore the package of pictures is probably too big to load properly.

Not as far as I can tell. There seems to be one for the Fiesta R2 cup (a really short clip) but not for WRC2 or WRC3. Realistically, the promoters could be doing so much for these teams in terms of promotion and giving their sponsors value, at little extra cost to themselves, but they just seem to ignore them completely.

I was surprised to see the final stage was on live TV at 0500 today, but I didn't wake up until 0545, just in time to see Ogier not get ahead of Latvala. Either the announcers' audio was too muddy or I wan't fully awake, but it was easy enough to follow the times. Once the car's washed and the shopping done there's the Indianapolis 500 this afternoon which seems to be attracting a lot of practice crashes this year. Along with Monaco (which was also live although I slept through a lot of it) this is a pretty nice weekend.

WRC2 and WRC3 are a bunch of nobodies with no future and some nice joker entries... no need to have coverage.

That's why I generally just check in on this forum during events. Live rally coverage is a bit sparse here.
