Well its bad for the guys with good road position.
latvala will be the only happy man arround :) only 2 stages as sweeping car :) what a bullshit .....for one showrun of 3km...
Mexico organisation was waiting 100k visitors at night stage yesterday.
were more than 10k?
they have fail at everything.
Also we have to thing that FIA aprooved this shit.
They liked and they didn't saw any risks.
Can't believe we have to wait four more hours... Just because the organisers are stupid

after that Fiasco the wall just got 10 meters higher.
Why don't the FIA have anyone sensible on the board who would questions such a terrible idea. Didn't anyone learn from the mistakes of Argentina 2007?
Not watched the SSS yet, is it worth bothering?
can you name a single sss that is worth bothering ?Quote:

I haven't watched the stage so far and I don't know if subsequenlty this rule was cancelled by the CoC, so I don't know who was with lights ON or OFF on SS1y. All I quoted was the rule, and if it was still valid at the start of SS1y, then everyone with lights ON while running it, should be penalised, that's all! I don't care if it was Ogier, Meeke, Latvala, etc.
really don't know if it was on first pass or second ,just saw some clips at twitter with Ogier.

With morning loop cancelled in @RallyMexico, if they loose El Chocolate 2 as well, we will see maximum 50% points awarded from the event.
I think they will cancel all day... Many cars are still in Mexico city!! What h.ll is happening????
Idiots!!
So we are (possibly) going to lose 154.85Km of competitive action purely because of the organizers wanted a short 3 Km street stage in Mexico City,wow. Indeed stupidity has reached new heights in Mexico.
I dont understand that this stupid city stage can bring anything. Maybe more money for organiser from the hosting city...Quote:

Goes from bad to worse for @ElfynEvans - with time penalty he is set to be 1st on road tomorrow. So today was a big day, now lost 2 stages..
Can somebody explain what have happened in Mexico City?
Something about a traffic jam caused by an accident. Some say that the cars are (actually were 1h ago) 130 km from service. Maybe just an early siesta.
Hi, the cars are closer to Leon city, few cars has the GPS turn on, the others show that they are still in Mexico City, all these from WRC+
Cancelling genuine competitive distance should have been the last resort. Starting the day at 1330 (or whenever), running the 4 gravel stages and cancelling the evening Mickey Mouse stuff was the sensible approach.
Why the hell didn't the fools ship the cars back to Leon overnight and ensure longer daylight availability, if not some additional competitive gravel section?
they approaching to Leon now.
The first "twists" of itinerary which you've suggested are simply not possible...this is a (WRC) rally, not some "village" race.Quote:

yes, only 13km's left, i dont get why they dont just delay the morning stages, it would take only half an hour or hour to delay
What a farce...

Crazy! Still no mention of it on the wrc website. Do Mexico have any further wrc rounds? Or is it all negotiated year on year?
"The season begins in Mexico". Yeah sure. Epic fail indeed.
Good luck getting anything in the US with our general legal situation, let alone the idiocy of our new government when it comes to travel. Canada, on the other hand, is a good option and it's still fairly easy to cross that border.Quote:
