Forecast: Will be shorter than usual. Omega type of blocking is keeping rain away and nice weather in Trier region.

Friday:
morning stages, sunny, no clouds, temperature +.16..+20 for the first two stages, +20..+24 for next two. Nearly no wind, light breeze from east, NE or SE.
Afternoon stages: temperature between +23..+26 degrees, no clouds and sunny. I expect tramac temperatures to increase to the level where they start to eat even some hard tyres (+40...). but not the worst.

Night will be cold, temperature will be only +12..+15

Satruday:
Morning is early and two first stages are +13..+17 degrees, light wind from East, sunny. Next three stages are +20..+22. I am not sure if there is fog possibility, yet.

There might be some clouds in the afternoon (duirng the service beak), but nothing too serious.
Afternoon stages will be run in +23..+25 degrees, still very light wind and sunny, nearly no clouds anymore. This day will be most probably the biggest tyre-eater with abrasive Baumholder stages and sun-exposed stages might experience temperature +400..+50 degrees.

Night will be cold again. same like previous, clear.

Sunday will be short:
Morning loop will be between +14..+16 degrees second loop most probably around+20..+24. Wind is picking ap and clouds appear for the second loop. However, rain should not arrive before the end of rally. Maybe for the evening when everything is packed up!

I've heard some rumours about Kubica's car has some issue/problem after the shakedown. Can anyone confirm or deny that ? The situation is not so good and there is possibility of withdrawn (not confirmed).

try this maybe... a beer from me if you spot who this is!

Could it be LeFevre? Looks like a Citroen, but with more Red Bull blue on the side? On the other hand it could be a local on his farm tractor putting those grapes to use. I actually have to agree with NOT, this rally photo thing is becoming a bit ridiculous. I think it started with McKlein making post card pictures to add to the regular action shots, but now the regular action shots are few and far between, and only post card shots can be a bit to much.

Too many 'artistic' photos maybe... but there's nothing wrong with some shots showing the car & scenery as it helps put the rally into context. Otherwise just shots of a rally cars on some gravel or tarmac soon look the same and could be anywhere...
