The whole year without live TV and now a rally with all stages live on TV. With all the problems we know about the upcoming year, in my land this is called to get fat to die. :(
Let's enjoy the moment...

[N.O.T]

perfect...once more the french are going to broadcast their event live...lets hope we get pacenotes this time and not a rallyradio voice-over like last time....it was the reason i turned the thing off.

[EightGear]

But on what kind of channel will it be broadcasted? If it is a payed channel, only available in France, then good for the French but not for the rest.

An online stream combined with live TV would be ideal
Massive thumbs up for the initiative though!

I wouldn't get too excited just yet.

I'm sure this will be just like all the Live TV projects that have happened in the WRC so far this year (Sweden, Argentina, Portugal, Mexico) and only be available in France through those channels. Unless someone can come up with a way to crack their geo-locks?

For me it seems a way for Citroen (who most probably is paying that) to say goodbye to their French fans, i hope i'll be wrong though...

Why is the Power Stage SS20? Doesn't it have to be the last SS?

pretty cool that aigner will drive for proton, i think he´s very very fast.

He is a very talented driver for sure. At least he was.
On Barum he drove for the points and still was faster on many occasions than the local Mitsubishi and Subaru drivers.

He crashed with the Proton on testing few weeks ago. I think he will be slower that PG.

[Mirek]

Don't forget that none of the fast locals on Barum had R4. Orsák who was closest (except the change of tyre on one stage) also had only N4 spec. Evo IX. In CZ most of the Evo/Impreza drivers prefer using N4 cars and to fight for class victory instead of being behind quite numerous S2000 cars in class 2.

[dimviii]

Also dont forget Nikara even with r4 was in a totally other rally vs Aigners sti r4

I did not count that in mind :)

In any case the rally was valid for the CZ championship so this was another reason I assume.

They should better give Nikara a drive, that guy is crazy with probably every car he gets :p

true, but be honest, nobody really expected Nikara in finish, i bet at least Aigner not, this was just crazy angry flat out after his early technical problems. There was simply no reason for Andi to push hard.

regarding N4: so far for me there was no improvement visible at any driver which changed from N4 to R4, so i don´t believe its a very big advantage to have R4-kit!
And don´t forget Aigner captured his PWRC-title in a close fight with Hänninen!

But finally i agree, Aigner will not be able to fight with top-S2000 pilots in france, in the last years he simply has a lack of stage-kms + it´s the first rallye for him in an S2000!

[Mirek]

With all respect to Andi in 2008 it was not a real fight with Juho who had technical problems in almost every rally. Despite that he won 51 stages compared to 11 of Andi.

With all respect to Andi in 2008 it was not a real fight with Juho who had technical problems in almost every rally. Despite that he won 51 stages compared to 11 of Andi.

And that was one of the first years that Juho started to grow to a top driver he's probably now 3 times faster as then..

Ok, to be honest that fact disappeared in my mind, but still i doubt Aigner is a bad pick, with an age of 27 he still can have a good future in this sport, and that he can be quick on stages like in france he prooved with an 6th place in Rallye Deutschland 2006. Btw Proton made the decission of picking him after the test (including an off), so i guess he made his lessons.

Regarding Nikara: I agree he would deserve a chance in a proper car, i still have his crazy ride from the star driver shootout in his Fiesta ST in my mind (the crazy kid lost his underfloorprotection during rough sliding, and kept pushing as hell) but first i think he has to learn to keep the car on the road.

[Mirek]

Don't get me wrong, I respect Andi a lot. He is very good and spectacular driver ;)

Harrach vs Baumshlager had the same difference with n4 -r4 version of Harrachs evo9?

Aigner before some years was a talent.Since all these days, competitors like Hanninen have huge progress.Maybe the train is lost for him.
About speed now is he faster than Harrach inside Austria?....

Yes difference after changing to R4 was the same, advantage of a couple of seconds per rallye for Harrach before and after. Same with Saibel for example, wasn´t it the same with Orsak in Czech republik?

In terms of speed i doubt Aigner would be faster than Harrach, but Harrach make too much mistakes, even when he is in an comfortable lead, but hard to say, Aigner did only Jänner rallye this year with a bad flew and an early technical out....Aigners outings in ÖRM 2011 with the R3 Clio were impressive and even more impressive to watch though.

But you might be right, the train is maybe lost, hard for rallye drivers in this days....

[dimviii]

why i remember that while with n4 was loosing,when he switched to r4 he won 3-4 rallies?I am not remember right? Orsak is not a benchmark when he wasloosing minutes from Pech with same car.

When you try to compete best s2000 car, with a road car 2005 model yes mistake is possible to happen.How many offs had Harrach last 2 years? Again i remember him very steady even hunting Baumshlagers fabia.Or i am not remember right again?

I don´t know why, last 2 rallyes with N4 56 seconds and 50 seconds overall lead for Beppo, first 2 rallyes with R4 46 seconds and 5 seconds overall lead for Beppo, nobody made big mistakes.

I agree, Beppo is allways on the limit or close to it, that´s for sure the reason why he had 3 DNF´s caused by accidents out of 6 rallyes this year.

Very much so this year,, about £700 cheaper for us :)

Same car? The Evo 9's of Pech, Harrach (and Sykora in CZ Sprint championship) seem to be magical cars, regarding their stagetimes...
Last year was same car between Pech and Orsak,just N4 no R4.

[dupanton]

There can be big differences between 2 Evo9 N4's :)

[dimviii]

There can be big differences between 2 Evo9 N4's :)
for sure but which one is ''better''? ;)

[dupanton]

No idea, just reacting to the "same car" fact. On paper they are the same... Maybe irl to :) But even then, testing/no testing, insurance, setup, a lot of factors that can make a big difference.

If I remember correctly, Loeb went off in Wales rally recce couple of years ago, too. But then the conditions were very slippery, snow and mud.

[makinen_fan]

If I remember correctly, Loeb went off in Wales rally recce couple of years ago, too. But then the conditions were very slippery, snow and mud.

2008 if I am correct. Was very cold that year, and roads were icy. By having an off in recce of a tarmac event is a bit strange.

[Mirek]

But it happens :) I can show You a corner of former Barum stage Semetín where many drivers went off during recce (I think also Loix). Quite often locals going home, shopping etc. play the role in such moments. Many stages are narrow and full of blind corners with usually no traffic at all.

[Hartusvuori]

Last year Rene Kuipers had a small moment in SS Hassi recce in Finland. Tells something about the corner that Finnish professional spectators were there ready to help already at the recce...

I think he can do good in a Rally, he has competing with Porshe before, I'm not sure for the Mini though :)

[Rally-eMag]

A Porsche GT3 is a bit different from a full blown WRC of course. But that experience should really help him. It's always nice to see new guys shaking things up a bit, let's hope he can make an impact. The Mini proved last year it was good on asphalt, though Dani struggled this year in Germany.

He is very fast in his Porsche but it will be his first time in a WRC so it will take some time before he sets good times. He said that his goal for this rally was to bring the car back and consistently improve his time throughout the weekend. If there is some incidents with the "usual" WRC competitors, he can easily get in the point scoring positions i believe

[AndyRAC]

He’s a top driver. You don’t win Le Mans, Nurburgring 24, ALMS, etc without having some talent – he might not be quick right away, but I expect him to progres and his speed to improve as the event goes on. Sportscar drivers are more familiar with Endurance than Rally drivers these days.

We write positive things when they decide to go rallying instead ;-)

[stefanvv]

Loeb will be doing circuit racing in future. Is this will make him... erm what was it... "sick dog" :D

EDIT: But I personally watch with interest only Le Mans as circuit racing. The drivers and machines there deserve real respect and "24 Heures du Mans" is truly the "Greatest race in the World".

yes, it´s really the worst sd that wrc has ever seen, except for japan 2008 or what it was, when sd was in a stadion on tarmac...i wonder why noone complains about that. fia should make a rule that sd has to be somehow similar to the stages of the rallye.

Nice nice photo!!!

[steffforno]

I missed the broadcast, what did he say that was so strange?

Why?? Because the feeling with his car is so bad?

[steffforno]

I hope a great race of Sordo!

[Rally-eMag]

Why?? Because the feeling with his car is so bad?

No because rally-vid said 'there was something in the air... jml responded strange'. So I was wondering what was up (VW rumours and all)

[Kielder]

[J.Lindstroem]

What a fantastic live-stream. Only problem is i cant understand french!

[rage82]

sport-team.org (chaine2). You have to log in with your facebook account

[Hartusvuori]

No you don't. At least I didn't. I'm logged on to FB on another tab, though.

This is nice way to follow the rally at home. Live picture + WRR.

[noel157]

Or click "don't have FB account"

[Hartusvuori]

Or click "don't have FB account"

Exactly.

That was good time from Mikko.

[makinen_fan]

After JML, channel is showing tennis :( Do you know if that's how it is going to be all day, just the first 5-10 cars showing? Though the concept works very well! Hope next year we will see more of this

[Mikkaki]

tennis wtf is this?

[rage82]

Or click "don't have FB account"
I haven't see this option :)

[wwbroe]

Sordo seems off the pace too, looks like the Citroen drivers made the right tyrechoice for this one. Let's see what will happen on the second one.

[Kielder]

Every driver (not only one) is desiring the retirement of Loeb were at the end of this year when they see his time at the end of the stage.

[6789]

What did JML say after the stage? I missed the interviews - would be awesome if more live coverage is available next year

[dupanton]

Citroëns is on hards, as is Sordo (I think).
Neuville and the Fords are on Softs, with should be better for SS3.

[nr7wave]

Sordo seems off the pace too, looks like the Citroen drivers made the right tyrechoice for this one. Let's see what will happen on the second one.

I think Sordo is on hards aswell.

Edit: wrc.com confirms that Sordo has 5 hard tires.

[GigiGalliNo1]

Nice to see Ogier faster then Atkinson! :D Oh, wonder if Armindo Araujo would have been in the same position!

[Kielder]

Latvala faster than Loeb in the third split...

[HaCo]

Latvala pushing!

Verstuurd van mijn MT15i met Tapatalk

[wwbroe]

Latvalla only half a second off the pace of Seb.

[wwbroe]

Ogier clearly the faster S2000 car on first stage of the day. Not really a surprise i would say.

[GigiGalliNo1]

.: Sport TEAM :. (http://www.sport-team.org/)

[wwbroe]

Neuville on very good pace on this stage.

[AndyRAC]

Hope we'll see rally on youtube.com/live in near future. FIA GT1 Live and other GT races can be watched allready on that channel.

And Dailymotion; FiA WEC, FiA GT, Blancpain Endurance et al are all streamed like this.

[Langdale Forest]

WRR is not working?

[dupanton]

WRR is not working?

Working perfect here!

[makinen_fan]

Very good time for Thierry, just 2s down. Sordo a bit disappointing so far though, I expected a bit more from him

[Hartusvuori]

WRR is not working?

It is.

Very positive time from Neuville. I wish he would keep the pace.

[Bartek]

Come On, they are showing tenis but not Sordo...

[dupanton]

Very good time for Thierry, just 2s down. Sordo a bit disappointing so far though, I expected a bit more from him

He is far on the road, so the roads are dirtier for him then for Loeb or Latvala.

[makinen_fan]

Come On, they are showing tenis but not Sordo...

at least we see something... clearly they concentrate on French crews

[dupanton]

There are enough interesting French crews coming behind! (Chardonnet, Dumas, Maurin, Arzeno, Gilbert...)

Neuville! :D

Is the 4th one damp too?

[Langdale Forest]

THE WRR website is working but not the radio on wrc.com

Sun is up so the road is also drier.

Disappointing start of the rally from Petter...

[dupanton]

Sun is up so the road is also drier.



On the images you can see that the wet parts are under the trees. No sun there ;)

[makinen_fan]

[dupanton]

Neuville! :D

Should be drier, bit like SS2!

[GigiGalliNo1]

So they can do a LIVE concert of PSY doing Gangnam Style last night on Youtube... but only ONE WRC a year properly Live on Tv?

op oop oppa Gangnam WRC :p

[andyone]

Y muller.. :eek: :confused: . some people thought he will be somewhere there on the top... lol yeah right.

Very good time by Mikkelsen. 3.8s quicker than Ogier.

[6789]

Nice times by Paddon so far in SWRC :)

[stefanvv]

Also different tyre choice of the VW crews?

Looks like that. Ogier had stunning SS2 time

[Mintexmemory]

Al Rahji continues his improvement - faster than Breen on SS2 is some performance

[stefanvv]

JML fastest SS4

[Hartusvuori]

JML fastest SS4

Yes, great time from JML. He is becoming better and better on tarmac. But let's wait for Neuville's time. He's fastest through the first splits.

[nr7wave]

Also different tyre choice of the VW crews?

Wrc.com said vw had gone for all soft on both cars.

Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

[andyone]

looks like the battle will be only two drivers. the gap between number 2 and 3 is becoming bigger and bigger.

[Hartusvuori]

Neuville lost it towards the end.

Weird times on the tv graphics. Makes no sense to me.

[stefanvv]

There are slight differences in times between Sport+ & wrc.com :confused:

[stefanvv]

Great stuff from JML. He is not far away from tarmac win probably. But Hirvonen surprises me so far, 3rd...

[alleskids]

Neuville did a fantastic second half of the stage, according to the tv times, he drove 21 seconds faster then Loeb (from -27 to -6)

[dimviii]

Neuville lost it towards the end.

4 softs for Neuville ;)

Dumas ahead of Muller so far, not bad...

Another great time by Mikkelsen. 5.2s faster than Ogier and it's just 1.8s between them now.

[stefanvv]

Yeah, so are Seb N1 & Seb N2 ;) I'm comparing the two circuit drivers.

[RJM]

Dissapointing from atkinson so far, I think the minis are slow this year, think they were harsh dropping armindo they seem to be about the same speed. atko even did pre event test.

A future job for Daniel??

2nd loop is live on Sport+ already.
I guess everybody will go with hard tyres now

Quentin Gilbert crashed again...

It's close!

[HaCo]

8 Secs faster than this morning...

[Viking]

Neuville spins

[Tom206wrc]

What a pitty that spin !!! Neuville was doing better than Östberg and almost equal to Latvala :(

[Langdale Forest]

Remember what happend to Loeb in France last year?

[Langdale Forest]

Where is N.O.T?

[Tom206wrc]

Mikkelsen only one split on SS5 :confused:

[MartijnS]

Spectator control seems to be good.
Haven't seen one single person at a more or less dangerous spot ;)

[Langdale Forest]

So lets say that is the end result on final day... Ogier and Mikkelsen don't come 1st and 2nd in official standings correct? No points...?

[wwbroe]

JML looks fast on splits, can he take this stage as well?

[wwbroe]

Besttime indeed for Jari-Matti, great speed sofar on tarmac.

[Bartek]

Sordo have problems with something?

OK, Dani have problems with brakes...

[wwbroe]

Sordo have problems with something?

Yes, apparently he has problems with brakes, when they are cold they don't work properly only after becoming warm they start working poroperly.

[Viking]

So lets say that is the end result on final day... Ogier and Mikkelsen don't come 1st and 2nd in official standings correct? No points...?

Yes, no SWRC points for VW drivers but in the class (2) they would be 1st and 2nd.

[GigiGalliNo1]

Silly having officials getting model cars and hats to be signed at stage ends to be autographed no? Why are they doing this? They had a show, they have a service park that they can go to! Easy. Rack off!

[Tom206wrc]

Nice battle Atkinson vs the debutant Chardonnet for the top10 ;)

All French cars have starting number instead of the plate. I think that the French changed rules for competition cars this year and they don't get normal plates anymore.
