Well, power steering pump problem for Fabia confirmed. It was making some pulses into steering so they decided to stop preventively.

It seems that reason of Fabia S2000 retirement was power steering pump. Nothing serious.

It seems that 50th aniversary will be remembered as one of the worst years :(

For those who haven't seen TV. Scandola broke both right wheels, tried to continue (those sparks were because back of...

So, they finaly gave all the rest Travaglia's time.

Yes, if they get others time of Perico, they probably disadvantage many of them, if they give them time of Travaglia, Perico would lost one minute. That is not possible to solve well.

That monter stage is changing into a big shame. 1/4 of all rally will now probably be cancelled for most of the crews and I wonder how they solve compensatory times!

I think sparks from the car?

Those 60 kms are too much...

Madeira: If they have pacenotes like Pavel Valoušek, they would have 180 pages! Zdeněk Hrůza, his co-driver told me they use 2-3 pages per kilometer in Italian rallys.

Oh, I can see they changed it again... :) Good to see him all right!

Torlassco and Solowow are there. Solowow ok, but Torlasco lost 5 minutes :(

I must say that Patrizia is doing very well. Faster than Auriol and Casier on SS3!

Times of SS1 are now correct.

RS: Why? He did best tme on SS3, same as Basso. 7:02,6

Vouilloz termina la prova: stesso tempo di Basso. 7.02.6
Lois 7.06.8
Rossetti 7.07.4
travaglia 7.12.6
Andreucci 7.17.5
Navarra 7.03.7
Cantamessa 7.15.8 "sono in apprendistato"
Longhi 7.15.9...

It seems some times must be wrong on SS1. Would it be possible that Patrizia would be almost minute faster on 15 km than Auriol, Casier?

Very interesting so far. Some drivers loosing a lot, some much faster than expected, but it is just first stage :)

That's probably good news for us :)

Wim_Impreza: I don't see any sense in using medium gearbox on twisty Sanremo. They used medium on Barum as first time because Barum is very fast rally. Sanremo is totaly different and top speed is...
