Rally Discussion and Bar Talk Thread

Enjoy everyone!

I am not really into football, but just noticed that Spain and Portugal are in Group B

I heard someone say Group B - may I join the conversation now it has moved off football.

My understanding of Finnish is very rusty, but based on what I saw in the media, a car went off the road (rolled) and hit a female spectator who died by the hit on the location. No one else was involved. Police couldn't say if the spectator was in a dangerous location or not.

Hopefully Finns can either confirm or correct me.

That's such a nice conversation.

Really sorry to bring up circuit racing again, but I just tuned in to Le Mans and the first voice I hear commentating is Karun Chandhok. OK, I could see that. Then Karun stops talking and whose unmistakable voice do I hear? Why none other than Julian Porter.

What's that fella doing over there? Making a living or something?

Doing something in the long, long rally pause.

Julian has been doing it for some years now, Aleks Zawada stepping in on ERC radio

He's been doing the official WEC Le Mans coverage for a few years - and why not? And there is no need to apologise for mentioning Le Mans....It's THE big one of the whole year.

F1 world champion Kimi Raikkonen did the WRC in a very good car. He completely sucked. That is all you need to know.

Kimi has done fastest SS-time and his best result is 6th. I´m pretty sure that none of Rally World Champions will ever drive fastest lap time and 6th place from Grand Prix. That is something you should know.

Kubica was very fast in a WRC car on tarmac too, but not very consistent.

Quite a difference between WRC and F1 though really - WRC drivers are chasing seconds or tenths of seconds on real roads in all sorts of constantly changing conditions, F1 drivers are chasing hundredths of seconds around the same few smoothly surfaced corners over and over again in much more controlled circumstances.
