Rallye Deutschland 2014

[Eli]

Could this be the first pure tarmac win for a finnish driver since Mäkinen in Sanremo 1999? (if my memory serves me right, and not counting ice/tarmac in Monte)

pure tarmac but as for tarmac itself, Gronholm was the last Finn to win back in monte 2006

so what's gonna happen with Ogier's time? 'cause i see he is using a different route now

Technically retired as off rally route.

Problems for Neuville at end of stage, seems like gearboxcasing is overheated. They jumped out at stop-finish.

Neuville's car melting?

[Eli]

He has fund his way to the main road leading from the vineyard. Looks like he's heading straight back to the service area. He'll collect a five minute penalty for retiring.
clever, less time loss than 10 minutes, 5 minutes in 2 days, in this rally very possible, he is very lucky that it happend to him on the final stage of the day

Lundefaret!
You are spot on judging Ogiers driving style. I admit that!

WoW! this is going to be mad. unless Ogier not taking in 5 mins on an lunetic drive two days ahead...?

Might easily get up to 10th and score, and that's if everyones reaches the finish without problems, which is highly unlikely. And then there is the power stage.

It will be a 10 minute penalty - the minimum amount for any Rally 2 retirement.

[Eli]

yeah ok thankx for the correction

[N.O.T]

Ogier should get into good points position in the next 2 days...

He is no Loeb.

Edit: If it is 10 minutes it should be interesting....
