WALES RALLY GB 2014

[Jeppe]

Spin with cost about 1min? too much for just a spin. Maybe small off or something?

You´re right - they stuck in the ditch for a while..


Tom, It´s ok!! Just those bloody finnish names

Fri 13:33 - SS5: Meeke accepts penalty
After a review of the on board camera footage, Meeke can see what happened on SS1. "I think we went too early by 0.2sec. Okay, we have to accept it and move on. We're in a battle for third place now."

Östberg loses too much on SS6

That jump start penalty reminded me of my old question. Why they still have fixed stage start time and associated jump start penalty - instead driver could start anytime after the green light is lit and clock would start at the exact moment he crosses the start line (the sensor is already there to detect jump start so it could be used to start the clock instead)?

And chage position with Mikko.

GO MIKKO!

No splits SS6 for Meeke

Edit: split 2 for Meeke but slower than Mikko too

cuz on rallys like Sardegna. you will "wait" 2.55 min to reduce dust

That's beside the point as driver would have a small window of time within which to make the start (actually, such rule exists even now for stall in the start line), he couldn't wait forever.

Not great run from Meeke, even Evans faster
