Almost 1' lost for Petter :mark:
Let's see if he solved problem on starting now SS3 :rolleyes:
As usual, I think he is too old to drive an entire rally and certainly in a factory team.
To bad for Petter, 1 minute down is a blow, but he will fight back!
Good time by Neuville !
Very happy to see that Wilson not competing here are well... lets hope the trend continues for the rest of the clown squad.
Hah, classic, one thing is for sure, you certainly do speak your mind :)Quote:

Comparing Ogier and Abbring at this stage in their career is a bit unfair IMO.Quote:

Interestingly everybody on split one of SS3 is slower than Araujo, first on the road :confused:
It seems that they are changing the engine mapping during rally. I don’t know how it is in other rallies but in Mexico it is obvious because of different altitudes.
Jari-Matti Latvala 'needed more aggression' in Rally Mexico qualifying - WRC news - AUTOSPORT.com
"There were a couple of things which were wrong this morning," said Latvala. "I went into the stage with the wrong engine map, I screwed up and took the wrong settings. The engine was OK, but it was too soft - I should have been on a more aggressive programme.”

thanks Viking!Quote:

Woa, very impressed with Neuville!
Neuville fast again...
That useless lady according to N.O.T? Impossible...
Should just say, not to bad from Østberg... then JML second split popped up!
Its early days but I too am impressed with "tarmac" IRC guy Neuville. But then again you dont win Corsica and San Remo in the same year without talent.
Neuville is incredible. This is only his third gravel rally I think, and first in a WRCar?
I like his driving in Cyprus last year when he beat Juho in Golden Stage... He is really bushing hard... Hope that he stays in road...Quote:

Latvala takes the lead after SS3 ;)
But I expect Hirvonen to charge back on the 23km long SS5 :cool:
more problems for Petter??
LOL. Reporter: 'Are you worried about tire wear?' Paulo Nobre: 'Yes I am very tired.'
After two stages Neuville ahead of Östberg. That's some reference to start with. Let's see how it continues.
And Latvala in the lead, Hirvonen second, I like that too. And not too big margins yet.
he's losing 30 seconds again, so i assume there's something wrong.Quote:
