Please stop quoting a certain member, it makes the 'ignore' button useless.

Would like to see Loeb's and Ogier's passes at the place where Novikov and Latvala crashed for comparison

Next time he will say that Mr De La Pierre blocked the road in his red Peugeot 306 with licence plate ....

... and the Model Year

Really, a roadblock, isn't that an explanation??

"No way back. You're blocked" - Is that enough explanation to you?

One subconsciously wanna know what caused it in order to find one's way out.
The COC's decision is open to question in the way that is written in case any of the teams wanted to contest against it.

None did it!

The one factor which no one seems to be thinking of in terms of the Loeb v Ogier battle is that Loeb is driving a car now in its 3rd full season and therefore has a handling profile on competitive stages which is just what he wants unlike Ogier who is driving a car on its 1st competitive event.........I love the fact that we finally have someone who can take it to Loeb and has the team fully in support.

Just got to hope that the FIA back off and allow rally to flourish again been a long time since the 2003/4 seasons which saw F1 slip to 2nd of the global championships

Sainz said on a Spanish TV that he himself warned Latvala before starting the Turini: 5th is enough. He adds that the Finn had an obvious mistake caused by reaching the bend too fast. It seems that VW reproached JML for the accident.

Once upon a time there was a guy named Colin McRae
nicknamed by some - Colin McCrash. People loved him and still do.
And despite all the accidents he had the Lord protect him and kept him safe in one piece and he did it - WRC Chapmion.

Nowadays a guy called Jari Matti Latvala
nicknamed by some - Jari Matti Crashvala
is set to be the next to crash or beat the rest - but never second best.

Lord keep him safe.

I can guess it would be slower than Novikov/Latvala and following the lines, this place is looking dangerous in these conditions.

To me, at least, an 18-stage event in which stages are repeated several times is simply not how a World Championship rally should be.

A real rally is not depending on the repetition of stages, which in most cases are unavoidable (for many reasons). To me, as a rally driver myself here in Greece and as a spectator, more annoying are the loooong liaisons of hundreds of kms (like in MC) rather than one or two stages being repeated twice, if this is for better safety or for more efficient planning of the whole event...
