The Hyundai at 2.22 looks to have set the shocks up better, looks like a driver set up issue rather than a car design issue.Quote:

Just when I'd stopped believing he had a performance left for my Pickem. But for those who still selected him keep the rule in mind '1st or 2nd otherwise nowhere'Quote:

there are so many factors, not only speed and arriving angle, but also throttle/brake position, damper springs, clicks, ride height, etc influenting behaviour of the car during take-off and landing that it's hard to judge. Also sometimes you need to sacrifice one "special" jump like this one to have good setup for other part of the stage, sometimes you ned to find compromise, etc.
Ogier 27 minutes faster than himself at first split. What a champion!
Haaa, ha ha. Wrc +Quote:

He's very good at that (just look at his track record) but this time he needs just about everyone to suffer before his situation improves.Quote:

Latvala is the quickest, look of the times
Latvala Flying!! hanaa JM hanaa!!! :)
mega time from Latvala, 51 secs now ahead of Ogier.
I agree, I have been saying this about Paddon since like 2011, but I'm curious. Why has he won favour from the infamously hard-to-please N.O.T? And why this year particularly?Quote:

Is Camilli stopped?

Because I like his attitude, he is fast but knows the limits of the competition and the car, he shows progress and maturity. He started this rally slow then when his confidence grew he attacked and his times are very respectable and fast. If he manages to beat Sordo it is going to be a great show of maturity. He uses the pac-man method of dominace against his rivals eating away chunks of time steadily little by little.Quote:
