Sorry that was a typo , you are correct , and the note was right - the left was immediately after the crest

Giraudet sounded like he was scared of Novikovs driving skills. Also the repeating of the notes is not helping Novikov in "relaxing"" during the drive. Maybe it is time for Denis to stay at home with the family instead of risking his life with a no-listening driver

Anybody got any pictures of Saliuk from Rally Australia?

His sponsor must be angry for his money... Three crashes in Australia by Novikov. and zero points so far... He is real crashing talent.
And by the way, my half marathon went well, bit Matt Wilson style.. consistently till the end.. and i am still alive :-)

But Malcom Wilson will never learn and he will keep going with all his pathetic tactics and teamorders instead of building a competitive team.

Never say never

I was thinking about the Ogier story and did some calculations. It seems that Citroen bosses were really angry that their drivers practically ruined the chance to collect Manufacturer or driver titles at their home rally. Now even Citroen 1,2,3 is not enough to secure their manufacturer title in France (Even if Ford finishes 4th and 5th and Citroen 1,2,3 then their points difference will be 84 while it is possible to collect 86 manu points in last two remaining rounds.. So, now they made sure that their drivers are not some kind of individuals but part of the team... and about Ogier.. it is much easier to give away your 8-th place than to give away your win :-)

The thing is that now both championships are determined..Only if Loeb does mistakes will lose the drivers title and only if Ogier follows him Citroen will lose the manufacturers one.

That crash Ogier had destroyed any interest in the championship...

I agree...
I think the Manufacturer's championship is over, it's quite impossible for Citroen to lose so much points in 3 events (and 2 of them on tarmac).
In the Driver's championship Hirvonen have still some little chanches, but only if Loeb have big problems on all the remaining rallies...
