what a mess, i hope that they dont have it with the stage times the next days.

[noel157]

are there a minimum number of shakedown runs required by wrc drivers?

P1 and P2 crews must make a minimum of 3 passes. Anybody else can choose to run if they want.

Very good filming Tommeke_B!

Here You clearly can see the difference in driving technique/approach between Kubica and Ogier, or between the regular Minimum Lowest Speed, and Nose End First.

Ogier:
Ogier is much slower in, and has exactly the momentum to turn the car enough to get it to point in the right direction (Nose End First).
He actually under-rotates a little bit, forcing him to drive a little understeered out of the corner, wich again leads to a small counter reaction - hampering his acceleration a little bit. But still: Fast AND safe!

Kubica:
Higher entry speed. Trows the car around with a lot of force acting upon it. Sideways forces still present when he starts to accelerate, wich pushes the car outwards, (towards the camera), instead of forwards.
This is a lot more risk, and a lot more tire wear.

Thanks for the films!

Lights on now for next SD run... still using the traditional ones...
