its still early for the citroen team to give any orders. but i do not think ogier can ctach Loeb here.
So Prokop lost control in cutting, broke wheel and went in to wineyeard. They want to repair the car for tomorrow.
Too bad for Prokop. Thats going to be a nice fight btwn Hanninen and Prokop :(Quote:

got all excited because a fin had led the rally after 1 stage
he obviously has not learned any thing from Citroen, after all these years
cheers

Sousa is out. maybe with a new co-driver... :rolleyes:
yes but one thing it´s dry setup, correct, and the other it´s tyre choice.Quote:

yes ,they made the choice for hard tyres only, no mixed compounds like Citroen.
you are either a hero or zero and as usual Ford made the wrong call.
as Loeb said in his interview the choice was lose a little time on softs if it stays dry, but if it rains gain heaps.
once again Citroen show why they win so many rallies and championships.
cheers

Was Loeb and Ogier only drivers with "soft" tyres?
No, at least Tänak was another one. Anyway it's interesting that Seb 1.0+2.0 didn't loose anything on the two dry stages...
I think yes, at least among WRC cars.Quote:

Sousa's car is blocking the road.. all the wheels are off (so I heard). Sousa don't let people to move his car....
stage 3 stoped???? there are still no times for the academy drivers
Yes, Citroen appear to have compromised SS1 for rain on SS2. That's why Latvala was fastest. Next loop with no rain might be a better indication of teams pace.
also a notice for all the girls and ladyboys (not in a thai sense) in here...
Ogier is 4.4 behind so you should start saying that Quesnel is going to slow him down to let Loeb win another fake title....and also that Ogier is going to Lemans...and other stuff you can make out in our head...
Nice quitting strategy by the ford team....bah....
Crazy time loss by Hirvonen...even if he doesn't push 11 seconds slower that Ogier in 2 splits is a lot.....
:eek: :eek:Ford Real Big Oeps :eek: :eek:
Ogier on a charge :D :D
Hirvonen 11 seconds slower than his morning split 2....while Loeb 3 seconds faster....hmmmm quitting strategy or again tyre choice from hell ??
Most likely running on three cylinders...
and Latvala on 2 Cylinders
LOL....who makes the tyre choices at Ford....Latvala also very slow...maybe they chose tyres for the next 2 stages ???
HIRVONEN M. / LEHTINEN J. Technical problems reported
rally.cz
That smells by an epic fail...
Hirvonen hit a wall???
Also from LatvalaQuote:

Hirvonen: own mistake, contact with a wall, damaged rear wheel/suspension.
Incredible failure by Ford. Totally incredible.
Yesyes, Ogier. And come on Mini, you can do it.
Mikko Hirvonen sustains rear suspension damage on SS4 and drops 25.5s. "It was my own mistake. I went wide and hit the wall, damaging the suspension. We'll see if we can do anything about it." (wrc.com)Quote:
