Rally Norway 2007

[Wim_Impreza]

Very young Mikkelsen is more then 10 seconds faster than Wilson on SS4.

[GigiGalliNo1]

anybody knows Rally Norway will be translated online video from SS6? like it's be at Sweden?

When was it translated to English? I got it in Swedish but had the commentary from WRC+ radio.

But it was funny listening to it in Swedish. I missed the first LIVE stage :(

How was it?

[Brother John]

They are equal in this kind of resources, and what's the problem...?

Just open your eyes and and listen to what Grönholm said! That is what rally would have be, to wait until the finnish to know how fast you are! :dozey:

[COD]

Henning was supposed to be THE MAN in this rally. But on SS4 he is only 3rd fastest Norwegian :confused:

[Wim_Impreza]

Henning was supposed to be THE MAN in this rally. But on SS4 he is only 3rd fastest Norwegian :confused:

I have him second in my prono, he really disappointed me.

[GigiGalliNo1]

Mikko will dooo soooo well this wkend! :D

[Magnus]

Yeah, i agree with BJ: wait until the finnish comes to se how fast your are ;)

[Madeira]

Just open your eyes and and listen to what Grönholm said! That is what rally would have be, to wait until the finnish to know how fast you are! :dozey:
Ok I respect your point of view but I don't believe that S. Loeb was world champion because of splits. I'm not a particular supporter of Loeb, in this case he only must recognize that snow rallys aren't his specialty..

[Tomi]

someone mentioned Wilks as a top talent, wonder what's wrong with him, quite slow ?

[Tom206wrc]

First decent time for Anders Kjaer(+27s on SS4...just in front of Wilslow) !!! :bounce:

I hope he will do more encouraging times now :D

[KKS]

no I talk about online video like http://results.swedishrally.com/video/livelink.html, but now it's Norway. Because WRC+ will be broadcasting SS6 LIVE. And think you have link at SS6, like that http://results.swedishrally.com/video/livelink.html

[swordsman]

The live video was an initiative by the Swedish organisers. The produced the video, broadcasted it, etc. If not the norweigan organisers have taken the same initiative, there wont be one.

[Wim_Impreza]

someone mentioned Wilks as a top talent, wonder what's wrong with him, quite slow ?

He is a little bit faster than Wilson :p

[Brother John]

Ok I respect your point of view but I don't believe that S. Loeb was world champion because of splits. I'm not a particular supporter of Loeb, in this case he only must recognize that snow rallys aren't his specialty..

Yeh you are correctly also about Loeb. But often you saw in 2006 that Loeb was faster in the last splits on the stages! I just mean that It is more pleasant for us when they dont see the split times. ;)

[WRC2006]

S. Loeb is very intelligent in playing on the split time. He knows when he can push or not, wait others to make mistakes or leading the rally on the spilts time of others.

I am really sure that, if there were no splits time in WRC cars, for example in last season, Loeb would not over performed as he did. I agree he is one of the best in WRC, but without spilt time....?!. Did you notice how drivers are nervous when the spilt are not working in their cars?

Without splits things would change and I am sure everyone would push on the maximum untill the last day.

[GigiGalliNo1]

gotcha! did you guys watch the preview to Norway?

I posted link to my website with the official video! :D have a loook @ Video thread in forum and thank me haha

[Tom206wrc]

SS5 starts soon :)

[Helstar]

Hey I'm back, nice to see Hirvonen still 1st :) and Gigi great 4th place !

Not that I consider POns a great snow driver or anything but hijo de puta was directed to the car, apparently the throttle stuck flat and could not brake.
Ahh sorry I didn't understood well =) but the insult came from the co-driver, how did he know the problem of the car at once ? Anyway, nevermind :)

he TV masn forget the Beep :D or they didn't undrestood english.
English ? SPANISH :D !

Back in 2005, Turkey ... when Gigi had the problem at the start of the SS, he shout "Nooooooo ! Turbo ! Scoppiato !" (means "exploded") and he got a BEEEEP too :) like it was a bad word LOL

[WRC2006]

Yeh you are correctly also about Loeb. But often you saw in 2006 that Loeb was faster in the last splits on the stages! I just mean that It is more pleasant for us when they dont see the split times. ;)

Totally agree with you.

[Wim_Impreza]

What is happened with Martin Stenshorne? He is one of the best Norwegian Group N drivers.

[Finni]

someone mentioned Wilks as a top talent, wonder what's wrong with him, quite slow ?

First, I wonder why they chose snow rally to come up because wilks has never been especially impressive on snow. Second, his Focus is older and slower model which is bit preventing factor compared to new cars. Third, to my knowledge he is driving first time wrc-car outside of asphalt.

[Magnus]

I agree with the split issue: but there is not much to do abt it. Besides: Loeb is brilliant, he adapts very quickly to different conditions. Splits or not, Loeb is the mark for every one to compare himself to.

ahaa ok

[GigiGalliNo1]

i'm so lost who is on the radio being interviewed now!? :S

[Helstar]

Loeb and Bosse same time ^_^

[WRC2006]

I agree with the split issue: but there is not much to do abt it. Besides: Loeb is brilliant, he adapts very quickly to different conditions. Splits or not, Loeb is the mark for every one to compare himself to.

Do you agree that he has been a lucky man for long time now? This played in his adavantage also since 2005. Even today he has been lucky in SS1. And yesterday in shakedown again.

If the lucky was not there, what would have been happened to him? I don't have nothing against him and I agree he is brillant, but we have to agree that many factors played in his adavantage also.

[Brother John]

gotcha! did you guys watch the preview to Norway?

I posted link to my website with the official video! :D have a loook @ Video thread in forum and thank me haha

I thank you GigiGalliNo1!!!! :p : ;)

[Helstar]

Next stage will be live on WRC.com ^^

Nice pic on the Gigi news:

[Tom206wrc]

Wow !! Sordo 21s overall and henning +15s on split 1 !! :s

[Magnus]

Beautiful pic on Gigi. Thanks Helstar!

Awesome photo!
--------

I wonder why Loeb was so slow in one stage and so fast in others.. To me it seems that in certain places C4 might be faster than Xsara but certainly not in ss1/ss3.

[GigiGalliNo1]

Bello photo! :P

[Tom206wrc]

Perhaps a spin for Henning ?? He lost the same time between split 1 and 2... :confused:

[WRC2006]

Next stage will be live on WRC.com ^^

Nice pic on the Gigi news:

http://www.wrc.com/javaImages/57/77/0,,10111~3110743,00.jpg

Is that a junction he is taking or not? LOL

Nice picture Helstar!!

[kabouter]

Another incredibly close stage: Loeb and Grönholm with the same time, Hirvonen only 0,2 s behind. I should be studying now, but this is rather exciting :)

[GigiGalliNo1]

I thank you GigiGalliNo1!!!! :p : ;)

No probs, what I will also do is upload each day videos when they are on and also trying to get you guys the live feed!! :D through my website somehow!

Enjoy rally =)

Vai GiGi!

[Tom206wrc]

Anyway, if Gigi doesn't make mistakes, he can eat Henning on this stage for 4th position... :p :

[PMM]

Where is Toni?

[Tomi]

Another incredibly close stage: Loeb and Grönholm with the same time, Hirvonen only 0,2 s behind. I should be studying now, but this is rather exciting :)

Better to go and check the books :)

[animrallye]

Anyway, if Gigi doesn't make mistakes, he can eat Henning on this stage for 4th position... :p :
He's already 4th :dozey:

[Helstar]

All is stopped, radio .... splits .... what happened ?!

[jonkka]

Argh... results service sucks...

[animrallye]

All is stopped, radio .... splits .... what happened ?!
Come sempre !

[WRC2006]

All is stopped, radio .... splits .... what happened ?!

No network there

[Helstar]

They jumped in the live stage without saying a thing on the previous one O_o;

The WRC live of SS6 is on.

[kabouter]

I could still listen to the radio - and I think I heard that Galli set a time of 8.07,something - but don't shoot me if that's wrong ;)

[animrallye]

T. Schie : Super Rally

[Tomi]

i hope j-m can pick a few guys today so he gets a decent stating position for tomorrow

[kabouter]

i hope j-m can pick a few guys today so he gets a decent stating position for tomorrow

If he continues at the pace of SS 4 he should end up in the top 12 at least

[Helstar]

Loeb live ... with no sound ... have to open Media Player and radio again ^^

[jiipster]

Latvala fastest on SS5 - time 7.59,8

[Tomi]

If he continues at the pace of SS 4 he should end up in the top 12 at least
yes, and from there it would not be long way to the points :)

[pino]

Are the splits working again ? :s

[Helstar]

Here we have Bosse ... pity there isn't any splits on screen to compare on realtime

[GigiGalliNo1]

wrc+ video does NOT work!

argggg fed up

[Helstar]

Matt it's working I'm seeing it.
No sound, but I have the radio...

[jonkka]

Latvala fastest on SS5 - time 7.59,8

Hi,

I am so sorry for not updating the site more often. But we are having major problems with our internetconnection. The teams are having problems with getting the liveresult and the line is not up long enough for me to upload anything. But we will keep trying.

[Brother John]

[Tom206wrc]

What time did Anders Kjaer in SS5 ??? :confused:

[Helstar]

Simple Matt, you see the source of the HTML page :)

[COD]

All result services suck today

[GigiGalliNo1]

Simple Matt, you see the source of the HTML page :)

i was watching both in two screens, one was ahead of the other made me nearly go crazy watching a few secs ahead of the other hahaha

[KKS]

CABAIO E´LONA thanks for video

[Patwrc]

So Petter is now in 4th?

[DonJippo]

Anyone has a source for results?

[animrallye]

I'm recording with Net Transport...
But don't know how to stop registration and send it after...
Semebody can help me ?

[WRC2006]

So Petter is now in 4th?

[jonkka]

Shait, I get NO RESULTS at all.

[WRC2006]

Anyone has a source for results?

interconnection problem there for everyone.

[Brother John]

That was Gali!!!! ;)

[jonkka]

[xavier]

http://live.bfgoodrich.com/~bfg/WRC_2007_R3/cls06gb.php

there are some there, i am a not sure how up to date it is.. Shouldnd Henning had finish by now ?

[DuncanD]

I'm pretty sure it was Petter who damaged his steering, Galli had a spin and then on rally radio they were discussing whether Galii would easily catch Petter given the steering damage on Solbergs car.

[[WRCRR]]

WTF is it with the result service? It has never been this bad?!?

[jonkka]

Bear ate the sole telephone line there was and now its total comms blackout? I would understand this in Turkey...

[kubiczech]

Another classic rally quote
Toni:"I push very hard but time is sh_t!"

[GigiGalliNo1]

That was Gali!!!! ;)

You sure?

Nor Petter solberg. I think it was him or henning or someone.....oh maybe not, gigi did drop down :( but kause he spun! haha too many cameras :P

[Helstar]

This live stage destroyed all the splits =)

We're split addicted like Loeb, give us ! lol

[GigiGalliNo1]

Another classic rally quote
Toni:"I push very hard but time is ****!"

hhahahahahaa

I was like :O

[WRC2006]

I understand now, we are all confused here!!!!

What I am saying is from Norwgian press report. Petter endomaged his steering that is what they are saying now.

[jonkka]

This live stage destroyed all the splits =)

We're split addicted like Loeb, give us ! lol

I am on GRPS connection, not chance for anything but splits and it gets me veeery upset when those are not working. Kick Norway from series!

posted official results above ^^^^^^

[Helstar]

M. Ostberg 796.15km/h not bad

An F17 Eagle maybe

[WRC2006]

How Petter is 4th now? Don't understand?

Loeb drove to bank on stage 6 and stalled according to MTV3

without doubts... is....... the best....

[N.O.T]

Loeb drove to bank on stage 6 and stalled according to MTV3

and despite all that he managed to be faster ?? amazing....

[WRC2006]

Marcus gonna loose his place in this stage then? Or the splits are wrong? Hope so.

[Helstar]

The video is ready, is nothing special but at least is there :)

Lucky man again. It can't suprise me

[kubiczech]

today is quote day:
Becks: "look at the size of that dog!"
:-)))))

[Helstar]

Great first split by Petter

[Brother John]

The Solberg Brothers fighting back!

[kubiczech]

seems Petter broke the steering the right way

[Mauri A]

How come? The name of the stage is Finnskogen, but Loeb is faster than Bosse and Mikko. I hope J-M will keep the name right.

[Patwrc]

Is Petter's car fit to start?

[GigiGalliNo1]

How come? The name of the stage is Finnskogen, but Loeb is faster than Bosse and Mikko. I hope J-M will keep the name right.

It should be called - "Finns-kan-go"

haha

[Helstar]

Comment by Mads Ostberg on SS6 "I am a little bit too cautious. It's a very difficult Rally."

WHAT ?! :D cautious lol !

[teufel]

]Have to say that Latvala is pretty amazing today...!!! :)

Where could he be without his 60 sec penalty...

[Grany]

Lucky man again. It can't suprise me

He takes "only" 3s instead of (perhaps many) more time and it's lucky...hahaha

[Brother John]

Com on Gali!!!!!! take Petter back! go go go!

[Erki]

Hänninen looks to be the real deal. :up: Second fastest to PSolberg in first split.

[CABAIO E'LONA]

Go Gigi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Erki]

Where could he be without his 60 sec penalty...

8th... :p :

[Patwrc]

Seems that Petter is back on the pace, 3rd fastest!

[miksu]

Galli will drop behind Garde

[miksu]

JM will take it!!!

[HaCo]

Not a lot of comments from the leaders. Would like to know why Gronholm is a bit behind...

[Tom206wrc]

Latvala seems faster than Loeb... ;)

[Helstar]

Great battle for 4th place

4 Petter SOLBERG (N) 1:19:45.0 + 57.4
5 Toni GARDEMEISTER (FIN) 1:20:00.2 + 01:12.6
6 Gigi GALLI (I) 1:20:02.2 + 01:14.6
7 Henning SOLBERG (N) 1:20:08.2 + 01:20.6

[GigiGalliNo1]

Gigi 6th :( :( :(

[Helstar]

Finally JM showing some wicked speed ... Pentti is happy I think :)

[Mauri A]

Oh sh*t. it was Fransmanskogen by 0,8 secs!

[teufel]

Great performance from JML! :up:

[Magnus]

This is very unusual: Bosse without stagewins, bad tire choices...?
Hirvonen and Latvala are making a beatuiful effort! And Loeb does what he usually does...

[jonkka]

But even better by Loeb. Incidentally, he's won four of the seven stages so far.

[COD]

Hänninen improving after making a few mistakes (probably down to inexperiece of he car)

Anyone know if Pinomäki had problems in he first stages? Much better times now

[jonkka]

Remind me again, what was this fuss about Mikkelsen? Guy is 15th and 0.2sec ahead of Wilson?

[N.O.T]

Tommorow when thigs are going to be equal i think Loeb will manage 2nd and Gronholm 1st and all the happy kids today favoured by road position are going to crawl back where they came from

[Wim_Impreza]

Remind me again, what was this fuss about Mikkelsen? Guy is 15th and 0.2sec ahead of Wilson?

Mikkelsen loses a lot of time in this SS, therefore he was good.

[jonkka]

Mikkelsen loses a lot of time in this SS, therefore he was good.

More time you lose, better you are? Not my perception of rallying. :eek:

[Helstar]

Last stage for today boyz and girlz :D

A short one ... tomorrow there is the MONSTER stage

SS9 Eleverum km44.27 OMG

[jonkka]

Last stage for today boyz and girlz :D

And about the time the results service woke up.

[KKS]

in CABAIO E´LONA links should be live video on SS8

[teufel]

Mikkelsen doesn't drive a Focus06, right? And it's only his 2nd appereance at WRC.

[White Sauron]

Tommorow when thigs are going to be equal i think Loeb will manage 2nd and Gronholm 1st and all the happy kids today favoured by road position are going to crawl back where they came from

Jus to mention, Hirvonen isn't helped by his road position. he's driving 2rd, almost the same as for Loeb and especially Marcus.

[mdesign]

hope gronholm defends its second place for today :) might came handy tomorrow

[Brother John]

in CABAIO E´LONA links should be live video on SS8


Where is the link please.

[HaCo]

Gronholm slower by 2,9sec :(

[JAM]

Jus to mention, Hirvonen isn't helped by his road position. he's driving 2rd, almost the same as for Loeb and especially Marcus.

I hope Gronholm will lose 1 or 2 minutes, otherwise Hirvonen will be forced to calm down... the boy is really well on 1st stage and deserves to mantain the rythm.

[HaCo]

But he's in front for tomorrow!

Gronholm doesn't know why Loeb is faster...

[HaCo]

Hirvonen is 2,5 sec slower then Loeb, but still in front...

Mikko had wrong tires he says...

[Finni]

I have bad feeling thast Loeb will win this rally. If there is no any tyre-choise effects in stage times then C4 with Loeb will be the fastest in gravel season. But let's see how it turns out tomorrow.

[HaCo]

Something that I find hard to understand is that a car that is 2 years older (Mitsu of Garde) still has this pace! Anyone an explenation that makes sense? :)

[kabouter]

Where is the link please.

but only sound, no video

5-10 min ago I see two null Subaru at start a stage

[DonJippo]

Something that I find hard to understand is that a car that is 2 years older (Mitsu of Garde) still has this pace! Anyone an explenation that makes sense? :)

Just shows the potential of the car, it's really pity Mitsu did pull out of the serie.

[HaCo]

Henning in trouble? But laughing apparantly... :D

Would like to know... Even 2 years ago the car wasnt that competitive? Is it Gardemeister??? But when driving Fabia, he wasnt that fantastic... :s So Im curious...

[White Sauron]

Listen the radio, just been said by Mikko he had wrong tyres for afternoon.

So that's great! Considering wrong tyres, Mikko did exceptionally great times! I believe he can hold his lead tomorrow.

[Brother John]

Is Daniel Carlsson not in Norway? :D

[jonkka]

Huh?

[Helstar]

Something that I find hard to understand is that a car that is 2 years older (Mitsu of Garde) still has this pace! Anyone an explenation that makes sense? :)
Garde yes, really a specialist. Also, it seems that the Lancer is very good car on snow ... remember 2005 with Gigi (amazing first day then technical problems) and also 2006 Carlsson and Gigi 3-4.

[pucky54]

Kronos' cars are crap, look at Gigi...he's faster with older material

[Jaanus]

Kronos' cars are crap, look at Gigi...he's faster with older material

Last year it was said that the PH Sport cars are outdated and the Kronos cars are top material. The truth is that both teams use good Xsaras and the difference is the driver.

[DonJippo]

Kronos' cars are crap, look at Gigi...he's faster with older material

Maybe it's not only about cars...

[teufel]

Kronos' cars are crap, look at Gigi...he's faster with older material

Or Gigi could adapt his style to the Xsara than the Kronos boys...

[Helstar]

I think the problem is Carlsson, Stohl is in the same pace of other snow rallies ... and maybe Pirelli tyres a little bit better on snow compared to BFG.

[Jaanus]

The WRC cars do not develop so fast in 2 years. Much of the development is in tyres and the experience of the drivers also gets better.

[Micke_VOC]

Think Galli its a better driver then Stohl but Daniel i dont understand.
Why is he driving so slowly ? the pace notes or drving what is wrong.

[pucky54]

I think Denis is a part of the problems for Daniel (the english notes).

[GigiGalliNo1]

Think Galli its a better driver then Stohl but Daniel i dont understand.

Even I wouldn't say that Gigi is better, well depends really. I'm very for Gigi but Stohl has been around for 100 (years) haha rallies so he's got so much more experience! How come I never heard of Stohl till recently when he drove a few years back to this date? but Gigi yes in my opinion is fantastic and so is Stohl, so tough choice rally but you can see who my fav is :D

[Buzz Lightyear]

i found it interesting in sweden when gigi was fast on first day, then pace disappeared? a xsara challenging a all new c4... dont think so...

[GigiGalliNo1]

he went off road but good competition and kept the C4 on it's "toes"

[N.O.T]

the pace dissapeared because Galli probably wants to finish this event instead of gathering more fan boys around him with his on the limit and beyonf performance

[GigiGalliNo1]

the pace dissapeared because Galli probably wants to finish this event instead of gathering more fan boys around him with his on the limit and beyond performance

I know he wants to finish an event and lucky he didn't retire from SWE, he continued to finish and learn the rest of the rally and didn't fight for anything in that event. :)

Good nite guys! 1:30am cya =)

Good rally norway, enjoying it

[Roy]

This is the 'real' Mikko. This is the same what he did in 2005. Fast in the Focus in Sardinia and Acropolis.
But I am a little afraid. Loeb is learning faster than both BP- Ford drivers. Gronholm has a problem. He lose a lot of time. I think he is frustrating that he is not fighting for 1st-2nd place, but 1st-2nd-3rd. Loeb and Hirvonen are both faster.

I am most impressed by Latvala time's. Pitty he has problem in service. He can reach a good result. Two long day's left.

[CABAIO E'LONA]

Henning in trouble? But laughing apparantly... :D
ever laughing :)

[Tom206wrc]

Oh gosh !!! What happened to Anders Kjaer in the shortest stage(SS8) ??? :eek:


He was therefore going steady improving pace until SS7... ;(

[Corny]

Stohl did a lot groupN, he was already there in 98

[FabiaFan]

Stohl has been around for 100 (years) haha rallies so he's got so much more experience! How come I never heard of Stohl till recently when he drove a few years back to this date?
Must be due to the lack of knowledge... :s
Stohl was already G.N World Champion, in fact he was several years fighting on the top level among Gr.N. He already reached some good results years ago in an Audi (Argentina and other gravel rallies) competeing there with his father Rudi...

[L5->R5/CR]

anyone have a list of the drivers that did the recce last year?

I think some of the advantage that Loeb and Boss have on other events might be diminished by the lack of polished and highly detailed pace notes...

[Corny]

Question: Will Loeb lead the way in Norway tomorrow at this time?
Answer: I'm afraid so

[cyd]

I'd just like to thank Eurosport for allowing me to tape snooker last night instead of the Rally Norway preview. :mad: :mad: :mad: b******s

[Mauri A]

Pentti is a *******! Loeb is using yellow glasses. Pentti has betrayed us Finns. Who else could have told Loeb to use them.

[Helstar]

Where is my reply ... disappeared :S

(again) Gigi had problems with the car in Sweden days 2 and 3. Brakes and clutch failures, all the details here: http://www.racingworld.it/rally/notizia2.php?idtitolo=3798 (italian tongue :p

What was the site with the Eurosport video's ? Enourmius Slide's or something ? Does some one have the site name please ?

[Halvis]

Just came from from the woods, with a whole lot of pictures. Here's Hirvonen way out of the line on SS7.

Too bad the file size is so limited, and I haven't got a home page to post them, will try to sort it out.

[Ranger]

That Latvala is damn fast.

Keep him on the road and he is going places.

[A.F.F.]

Listen folks...


Tommorow when thigs are going to be equal i think Loeb will manage 2nd and Gronholm 1st and all the happy kids today favoured by road position are going to crawl back where they came from

..phhheeeeewwwwwwwwwww.


Anyways, what a first leg for this new rally. :eek:

Mikko doing a damn fine job. Obviously it doesn't please all you guys and hey, it's ok to wish bad things to happen. Mikko has had a good notes, perfect feeling for driving and the result is a bit surprisingly first. It's still two long days but all in all I'm happy he made a small nose tap for those non-believers.

Marcus blaming he hasn't found the rythm yet. Hopefully it'll happen tomorrow because Sebastien is reeeaally close. Seb is amazing. There just doesn't seem to be a surface he wouldn't feel comfortable on :confused: Very fast anywhere.

Despite the timepenalty, JM I saw a huge grin on his face :) Jari-Matti had a fine day today. Couple of scalps and he is in points.

I'm a little disappointed about Hänninen. However, I have to admit I don't have a clue wether he had any problems or not. And I know this is a first rally on snow with WRC: But still I waited something more... I dunno.. sparkling of him. Maybe tomorrow.

Mr. KotiIdea comes like train. Has anybody any info about Toni's forthcoming rallyes??

[JAM]

Listen folks...

Mr. KotiIdea comes like train. Has anybody any info about Toni's forthcoming rallyes??

Will be in Portugal with the Lancer along with Xavier Pons and Armindo Araujo. Next rallyes don't know.

[Tomi]

Yes, much better than huoneistokeskus :)

Sorry....I didn't start following WRC untill about 2000, and till 2-3 years ago I began to get into PWRC so to me, now I know Stohl has been around and is excellent driver! :) No idea he was Gr. N Champion!

[GigiGalliNo1]

Round up from day 1 of Norway: link below to my site :)

Enjoy guys =)

[xavier]

What was the site with the Eurosport video's ? Enourmius Slide's or something ? Does some one have the site name please ?

http://enormouslysideways.net/

Especially good for US resident where rally is virtually unknown.

[SubaruNorway]

Gues who overslept, doesen't mather realy as il have god time on service and then Ringsaker. It's snowing pretty god at the moment but no more than a few cm so far.

[Gillfoto]

Good to hear Peter is still in after first, I really hope he finishes. Thanks GigiGalliNo1 for your video. Up here in Alaska!

[janvanvurpa]

Bear ate the sole telephone line there was and now its total comms blackout? I would understand this in Turkey...
No it was a big moose (älg-djävul).

[olmy]

good morning guys, looks like the estonian split site http://www.zone.ee/wrcmasters/ is back running

[jparker]

Something that I find hard to understand is that a car that is 2 years older (Mitsu of Garde) still has this pace! Anyone an explenation that makes sense? :)
Based on the feedback I have from some Canadian drivers, Mitsubishi is easier to drive on snow.

[pino]

Morning everyone :wave:

[White Sauron]

Morning everyone :wave:
Good morning) Waiting for the battle!)

[pino]

Waiting for this exciting and long stage...I am sure a lot will change after that ;)

[A.F.F.]

Good morning pino, good morning frodo :)

[Helstar]

Hi all ... monster stage incoming ...

[pino]

Ciao Jani, always in time as usually ;) btw I too hope Mikko will stay on top :D

[Helstar]

Hi Pino :p

From yesterday review at Eurosport (deep night ^^), I can say that these stages are veeeeery bumpy and narrow ! Good show to see, not too good for those inside the car.

[A.F.F.]

Ciao Jani, always in time as usually ;) btw I too hope Mikko will stay on top :D

Ciao bambino. And as usual, I don't have a chance to watch all the stages but just two first in this morning. Maybe the last one too. So damn right I'll be on time to see how Mikko does today ;)

[Corny]

We'll know who's going to win this rally after this stage I think

[pino]

Bambino ? :s :laugh: wish I was :p :

[White Sauron]

Good morning pino, good morning frodo :)

Hyvaa huomenta! ;)

And once again good morning to everybody.

PS: Virtual Analyzer works today.

[Helstar]

Mikkelsen and Sordo the first two on the road

[Corny]

Where to get live splits or coverage?

[A.F.F.]

How many splits there are in this monsterous stage ??

[A.F.F.]

http://www.zone.ee/wrcmasters/analyzer.php?rally=3&stage=9&results=1&jwrc=

Here you go Corny

[Helstar]

We will see ... seems two at the moment ^^ but first split is around 2'30", it's too early.

[Helstar]

Here we have second split, around 6'

[jparker]

We'll know who's going to win this rally after this stage I think
I'm not sure about that :)

[Corny]

I'm not sure also..
then make it different; we'll probably know who's going to win this rally after this stage :D

[Bruno Portela]

Good morning everybody, it's showtime!!!!

[animrallye]

'Morning everybody
Ciao a tutti
Terve terve
:wave:

[A.F.F.]

I don't agree. We have seen that after pretty long stages, the time difference between top drivers can be counted not in seconds but in tenth of a seconds :eek: Nothing has been decided after this stage.

[pino]

splits are workiing for now :D

[Corny]

It seems that the Norwegians doesn't have much homeadvantage..
Why's that? Are the stages so different?

[pino]

Ciao Anim, ciao Bruno :)

[A.F.F.]

Terve terve animrallye :D

[Helstar]

splits are workiing for now :D
Yes, until the live stage ... ^^

[pino]

4 splits
