I'm not saying that Ogier is a bad driver but I'm insisting on the idea that he should get some more experience before going on WRC stages with a WRC...
Any information about Ogier??
How live is wrc.com live radio? Says Ogier in 9th. No mention of any off or problem that I heard.
Mikko out and I am going to bed!..
Petter loses much time on the first split!!
Whats up with Petter? :o
Oh nooo! Petter in trouble??
Loses very little time after it. Maybe a stall or small spin.
OK the second one is normal...
hopefully!!Quote:

When was the last time that Focus retired due to a technical problem?Argentina 2006??
according to the Dave bloke on twitter, it was a fast spin in SS17... http://www.twitter.com/neilcole gives updates from the events, some more interesting than others...Quote:

On Thursday, in an interview, Sebastien said it's not a big gap, only a retirement for me and a victory for Mikko will make the case equal. Now, it's just the opposite and the case is more obvious now in terms of standings.
Game over for Ford and Mikko
Indeed. Just booked ticket to London at the same time with NORF. No reason to go there this year. WRC is just a joke now. Luckily we have for example MotoGP.Quote:

All the competitors said that they didn't knew the rules!!!
So much things happened yesterday :s
Prediction for top 4 by the end of the day anyone?
I'd say Loeb, Sordo, Petter, Henning
Didn't know the most basic rule of Gp N?! Mmmm.Quote:

Certainly cheaper to run fibreglass, but probably heavier than the original aluminium parts.
Hening has been driving a lot of the rally with a wrong gearbox, set up for winterrallies - it amazes me that Stobart does not carry the right amount of spares - for the prize these guys are paying them to drive.
Not sure how much time he has lost, but quite a bit according to Henning, since the box is not optimal for Argentina.
Pity really !!
pity and shame.. The optimal gearbox went to pieces after Shakedown, so he has driven the whole rally with the "spare". I guess they forgot to take it out of the trailer after Rally Norway.. I dont know how the rules are, but I guess Mikko has the right spares... Maybe a swap??
Maybe it's better to own Your own car like P.Solberg and the rest of (especially) Ford private drivers (private Subaru's are rarely in top 8 except Ostberg's last race after so many rallies) then to pay millions for rent and zero chances to enter into works team..
I think thats they main reason why Petter is on his own. If my memory is correct, this sort of thing has happened before to Henning, on several accations.. Wrong diff..(cant remember what rally), wrong setup after a good test(Rally Norway) And a car that basically falled apart...Quote:

LOT of less interest even here on the forum.... we are at the start of the final day and ONLY page 18....
Used to be LOT LOT more, even us hardcore followers seem not to care that much anymore.
WRC has become really boring
Latvala stopped...
That kills Ford's record-breaking points scoring streak...
JML is on the move now.
Awfully long time to change if that was puncture...
I think oil pressure... not sure...
edit: I'm sure...
"On long straight after one jump we lost fuel pressure. We tried lot of things until it restarted."
Anyhow, it'll be Citroen's second best result ever - the better one being all works triple win in 2003 Monte Carlo.
Well, there´s nothing wrong with Loeb. He´s a nice guy in a nice team. But unfortenatly he and his mates will kill the WRC for this season. Same thing every rally.
It´s a pity, really!! And Ford hasn´t got the material nor drivers to match him. I´m sure there are a couple of driver without a wheel going at home dreaming of competing the WRC, and surely would make thing more exciting.
What would WRC be today if we at least had Atko, Duval, Bosse, PG and Markko Märtin competing in good cars??? :(
Well, I take my words back... It was about to be Citroen's second best results ever...Quote:
