Not at all. I was just lazy to delete the copied snippet. On the other hand it's good comparison for the speed of the latters.

You know maybe the wrong place but we talk about the changes in WRC and what to do and who is responsible and I just saw this.

This illustrates the change better than anything I've seen...
The WRC events I've been to---and the one I was entered in---you could be 1 or so meter away from service.
This piccie is perfect.
This distance, the separation, the car is 'illuminated", shinier than ever, the poor fans literally left "in the dark',

When does things get going?

In a way the separation is logical considering the amount of people some events attract. But the Hyundai-style service "tent" is awful. Less motorhome style luxuries but that won't happen - how else can you keep the money people happy

Well the fastest 4 are the top four (though not in correct order) of my Pickem. They are going to be one battle, then the next 4 look to be contesting positions 5-8 in the absence of top 4 retirements / punctures etc. Looks like I need to replace Bouffier as he just doesn't seem to have the 'feel' of the Hyundai.

Come on, it's some stupid parking lot slalom. That's no stage to truly indicate something...
