This is the 20th second place for Sordo. Altogether 34 podiums in 104 starts. His statistics are really unique. He probably deserves a win, but not this way.

Reading this with "black and white glasses". So M-Sport doesn't take responcibility of the parts they use in their cars. It's the part supplier's fault. M-Sport just bolts them into the car :p

This Acropolis wasnt from the ''good'' ones.Of course the havoc at Friday long stage have to do a lot but.....
nobody seemed to pushed after that.We were waiting for some battles but nobody had the balls? to do it.
Sordo didnt battle,Mikko not battle,Neuville the same,Mikkelsen all over the place at every stage i saw him,Latvala took the prize from Novikov who couldn t handle the pressure for one two stages.
The only drivers i saw pushing were fiesta juniors,Fuchs,at some places Kubica,and at some stages Ogier.
Unfortunately with the current level of drivers ,we cant afford the absence of Loeb and Petter.
lets hope the 60th Acropolis to be ''better''.

wonderful place. who did the best combination of straight line+keeping the throttle from WRC guys? Was it interesting with lower classes or they passed it without problems due to their lower speed?
I disagree, Protesting against a possible rule violation is not what makes the sport look stupid.
A team that purposely or by mistake violates the rules is what makes the sport look stupid.
Protests occurs in most sports why should rally be an exception.
I also think that protests sometimes is to set a precedence, if its ok for a team to do whatever they did then the other teams can do it as well. Just look at F1 and compare the amount of protest between the top teams in F1 and WRC.
I do not know any protest in Manu WRC within last 10 years. And this one yesterday was very strange since Ford is using the system as well for many years afaik. Citroen looks to be under pressure for me.

Latvala with very late braking for the left open corner at 10,53.From 10,34 to 10,53 is big downhill absolutely flat out with very smooth gravel.Was watching also last year there too.
Souarez didn t lift at all at this place.

The central cam positioning is actually nice, I hope they keep it this way than the one positioned in one side. First time I am watching an on board this year and not get bored! Probably because the stage is amazing.
Also I like that there are people standing along the whole length of the stage, unlike a lot of other rallies.
Don't know if to laugh or cry about that...
You could try little of both. If neither give any relief, have few beers. ;)

Krakow, in Poland:
Formerly the WRC Academy, the Junior WRC Championship will take place over six rounds of next year’s FIA World Rally Championship with drivers using identical Ford Fiesta R2s prepared by British firm M-Sport from a base in Krakow, Poland.

Ok I know that the base MSport junior division is in Poland but they were going in opposite direction to Varna on the east coast of black sea. If they are going to Poland it's more logical to go west to Serbia or Romania isn't it?

Not being familiar with the Bulgarian highway system, I can only speculate that they were driving in the direction of Varna, but weren't actually going to Varna. They would have turned off again shortly thereafter.

Probably I'm wrong, but when the Icelandic Volcano stopped flights from all around Europe, M-Sport travelled these roads coming back to UK and Poland...
