I just noticed the weird thing they introduced this year with starting order. All P1 and P2 drivers start in reverse order according to classification of last stage but the Superrally guys get the advantage of running after the leader... This is just nuts!!!
One of the good things of Superrally was that they can clean the road a bit for the crews that run without retiring

it doesn't make big difference with the current entry lists.... guys below top ten are just tourists in the majority of the events.

Totally agree with you, but in rallies with less P1,P2 entries (eg Australia Mexico) and more retirements it can influence things a little bit

Big question is will that snow be on ground, or just melt. Temperature on ground +1 +2 at night?

Snow will stay even if the temperature is above 0 if the snowing is intensive enough and
continues long enough.

Correct! That snow will not dissapear so soon. A few + degrees make it verysoft, slushy and snowalls will be traps..as they are going to suck you in if you are out of line. So, I am expecting very tricky conditions tomorrow and a lot sweeping for first cars.. difficult for Ogier to take 3 points on powerstage and show good times.

I don't know if it was already mentioned on this thread before, but Hirvonen again using rims that looks like the Focus WRC rims. I think it was on Wales that the same happened. Does anybody know if there's any particular reason for that?

I have the feeling Wilson puts on the cars whatever is left in the garage unused ;)
