WRC is finally back
 

Now that the Dakar is over (not that we got any coverage... stupid OLN :x), that means that the Monte Carlo is soon.

Next Sunday @ 6pm on Speed Rallye Automobile Monte Carlo.

Perhaps a Dakar event is in order as well on Saturday at 6:30pm

yeah!

everyone is happy.

Anybody Interested in getting together for WRC?

If there is enough interest, we could give Bully's a call and see if we can get the room. Who's in?

Charter shows it fromn 8:00-9:30PM on Speed. What does DirectTV have it as? I think that is what Bully's has.

I'm interested...
Direct tv has WRC on at 8:00 Also, so we can plan on 8.
Also, Dakar coverage continues tonight at 6:30.

I will be away from my computer for today, so can someone call me if a decision is made...BTW, my house is fine too, if everyone wants to get pizzas and wings or something,,

let me know.

I'm interested in whatever... I was just planning on crashing Matt's house, but if a better idea comes up, I'm in.

I'm interested! :D

sweet.

me too.

Not a whole lot of response, so it looks like Bully's is out.

Looks like it's Matt's or Scott's place some time after 6PM. If you don't hear from one of them, call them.

My place it is...we'll have Dakar on at 6:30, so show up wheneva!

Wow, Monte Carlo is sick. That was an awesome rally. I wish peugot would have stuck with the 206 instead of that dam 307.

The night footage was unreal!

Look out for Mitsubishi!

poor STi.... :(

Like Tyson said, the EVO's are looking pretty sick this season. Hopefully for Mitsu they don't have any major mechanical issues, because the car seems fast!

And Petter's wreck is what I envision happening to my car out on Reno streets w/ my Azenis Sports. :lol: In fact, I'd say the racing conditions for Monty were damn near the driving conditions up here in the Sierra's this winter! Could you imagine running Mt. Rose Hwy at 120 mph with all the dirt and ice on the ground!? :shock:

Hmmmm. Why, yes, I could imagine that. Get a cage, and gimme your keys... :twisted:

Well, I can "imagine" it too... but I wouldn't expect to get more than a few turns in before I tore off the LF hitting a stone wall. :lol:

I think you mean "Hinkelstein"

No, this weekend, it was a stone wall on the left side after bouncing off a snow covered rock wall on the right.

Hinkelstein = Extreme Yaw sensor tester, and IIRC are designed to be applied at the co driver door sil area.

So are Concrete telephone poles..ouch!

Driver: "Are you okay?"

CoDriver: "No."

That wreck was HARSH.

Yeah, how the fuck were concrete telegraph poles a good idea.

Bump!

Sweden this Sunday at 8:00pm pacific.

Looks like coverage was cut to 1 hour..... :x

Haha...Check out this blurb from SWRT.com...Looks like they decided to give Chris Attkinson some last minute snow tips, from the man..

""Chris Goes Back to School


Most Australians are more familiar with sun than snow, but that's all changing for new Subaru recruit Chris Atkinson. Having moved to the UK from Australia's sunny Gold Coast at the end of last year, Chris will make his Subaru World Rally Team (SWRT) debut on Rally Sweden, so, last month, Subaru sent him to Tommi Makinen's Rally School in Finland for some special driving lessons. Alongside one of the finest rally-driving teachers, SWRT test driver Pasi Hagstrom, Chris buckled up to learn all about the white stuff...""

Hmm I must have missed the First WRC I think it must have been while I was out of the Country ... Does anyone have any highlights? did anyone tape it?? If so may I borrow it?? Dean?? the all mighty taper dude ??

Huzzah for this sunday!

Still Looking for someone who taped the last WRC

I have it, and can burn it to DVD if you want. you just pay for the DVD... I have most of last year as well.

Thanks for the video links!

:banana:

Anytime :) I love that banana... lol Hey why dont we have that here??

Done!!! Please :)

Ps: when/where can I pay you?

WAIT!! I guess I should specify that I only want the last WRC..not last year's .. Thanks Dean ...

We do, its just hidden. :banana: :banana:

just type

Ahhhh ... lol .. ok thanks .. see As you have already found .. I am not that great with Computers...

View more Emoticons :banana: :alien:

WOW coolness.... Ok so is there a list???

:liljon:
YEAAAAH!

Do Tell ... :lol:

I'll try and crank it out before the meet Thurs. You could come to one of those... :twisted:

If not, PM me, and we'll figure out something else.

WOW !! What a turn of EVENTS during last nights WRC huh??
I was/am a bit ticked!!! still at Mitsubishi and their reasoning behind having what's his name slow down.. I mean he was doing really good . I think he could have had a podium finish had it not been for the "Slow Down" Instructions :evil:

Well, Marcus didn't slow down and ended up not finishing because he pushed too hard. What he should have done was just try to drive a clean and fast rally and wait for Solberg to make a mistake... instead he was the one that was disabled on the road with an angry Subaru driver behind him honking his horn.

Gronholm could have had an easy 2nd place, and a possible win if he hadn't gotten greedy and tried to out drive Solby. And his boss finally called him on it. :twisted: :lol:

So anyway, by slowing down and driving a conservative race, Mitsu got 8 points and is tied for 2nd only 2 points behind Ford. After their last few years, I think Mitsubishi is doing the right think driving conservatively looking at the big season-long picture. They need to finish top 3 in manufacturer points, and winning outright isn't actually necessary... being consistant and finishing every event is.

I totally understand that Concept but What I mean is they should have not told him to slow down but rather Becareful.. I guess to me they are two totally different things..lol
Slow Down to the mind of a great.. simply means dont give it you all...
I guess maybe thats how I view it alteast... Psychologically speaking ...

Interesting how , as soon as the Mitsubishi started hitting snow(rally).. it started shinning!!!
I am glad that mitsubishi went back to the drawing board and came back ;)

Gigi would most likely have crashed out if he kept the pace he is going at. He is an amazing driver, but a little loose in the head with very little experience in the snow or in a WRC car.

Not that being loose in the head is any bad thing for a rally driver, he just needs more experience with being a little loose in the head while driving a WRC car at 200 kilometer an hour :lol:

Hmmm who knows... I guess Sperry is right... atleast they are in second place (For Now) which is a great accomplishment for them having done really bad last year...

I can't believe Gardermeister and Ford are number 1 in both Drivers and Manufactures points. Thats awesome, especially considering they didn't expect much this year with two new drivers.

Year of the Focus?

too bad markko!

Thats what happens when Humans don't predict right.. lol
