Rallye Monte-Carlo 2012

[Mar]

Novikov flying. 3rd best time. 5.4 seconds slower than Hirvonen

[Mar]

There was a bit of drama around Martin Prokop co-driver. It seems they could not find the time card at the end of SS13
Colin thinks they finally found it.

[Mar]

Thanks for the updates Mar I haven't been able to follow it live because I'm been buried under work

I'm conflicted, I feel happy that Dani but sad that Petter is so far away now

Mikko is on fire!

[Mar]

The snooker match just finished. That means the WRC highlights will start on time in Eurosport (in about 20 minutes)

anyone knows if the power stage is going to be transmited live?

[luieluv]

i am gutted to not have followed the rally the whole of yesterday. but just got enough time to be peeping in here on and off.

Thanks everyone for all the updates.

[luieluv]

anyone knows if the power stage is going to be transmited live?

not sure of further rallies but its not going to happen for this rally for sure.

[Mar]

SS14 starts right now, 4 stages today, including 2 times through the Turini

[Mar]

Weather is good and should stay good. Differences should be smaller today with not too many surprises.

[sleenster]

Still have some work to do today but at least I can listen to rally radio

[Mar]

There is not much more than the radio, so you won't miss anything

It's weird not to have these stages live on TV as the last couple of years. Eurosport did a great job broadcasting them live while the Monte was in the IRC and these stages are very beautiful.

[sleenster]

Eurosport highlights last night was quite sad, 12 minutes of review out of a 30 minute show

[Mar]

There were only 3 stages yesterday. They simply didn't have that much to tell. I really don't know who had the "great" idea of having a 5-day long rally with 18 stages

[Mar]

So far, Mikko fastest.
Petter 2nd +1.7
Loeb 3rd +1.9
Sordo +16.1

Loeb just have to cruise home and Sordo is not happy with the set-up, plus he says he is also already playing around with the advantage he has to Petter
