That was a pretty serious cut by Meeke, will be interesting to see how many use it next run through.

That was a pretty serious cut by Meeke, will be interesting to see how many use it next run through.
We will see what officials say, it was in last corner, just after yellow flag he took massive cut before crossing finish lineQuote:

SS11 is on the way ;)
First four cars are on stage. Where is everyone on the forum?
And a handy hint for Jon Desborough: It's pronounced Nam-bucker, not Nam-book-her
It is possible, even probable. Then again, such ban should be strictly enforced because any leniency erodes it's effectiveness.Quote:

Lurking quietly in the background and checking all the documentation for an event next weekendQuote:

Neuville looking rather good on splits, but now seems to be not moving on tracking?
Edit: he is ok, moving again now
Atkinsson is trough in 28.19.9
Virtually Neuville should be currently 8th now(after 6 splits) ;)
Neuville is 1min10 faster as teammate Atkinsson, really disappointing times by Chris i must say
Ogier will push on this stage
That is for sure, let's seeif JML can strike back after loosing about a sec on first splitQuote:

Neuville is passing in front of Evans in overall classification
JML loosing allready 4,7 sec on second split, Ogier is flying
Ogier on hards, Latvala on softs?

Bad tyrechoice for JML as it seems on splits!!!
It seems those that fitted softs were expecting the rain to come during the stage. So far it has stayed away. This could be the most critical stage of the rally!
Paddon loosing about 20sec to Ostberg
For the first time on this event Mikko slower than Mads ;)
Meeke fastest so far(after split 3) gooo Kris :bounce:
I think Hirvonen and Evans are on soft compound too?
Mikkelsen trough in 26.47.1, very good time
Meeke is flying. Looking good
Ogier in 26.39.4:eek::eek:
Latvala won't loose too much
Latvalla loosing 13,4 sec to Seb, that is a lot
Yeah last split he lost twice so far. Tyres gone off
No split anymore for Meeke :confused:
