Rally of Turkey 2010

SS3 underway

SS3/SS7: Bozgoca. 13.52km
The third stage of the loop is a tale of two distinct halves. It starts hard and fast - like Karabeyli - then at the midway point it turns left on to a more open moorland road with no natural flow to it - like Darlik. After climbing uphill and then dropping down into the valley from the start, the stage becomes fairly quick and flowing from the 7km point. In general, there is a thicker layer of gravel on the road surface here than the previous two, so it should clean only in some places.

SS2 passed, phew!

However, I am worried about Kimi's pace, hope he is able to improve. 17 seconds to the leader on 8 km SS is way too much!

Heikki Kovalainen said this yesterday and still he isn't able the make the connection China - Kimi

- We have great fans here. They wait outside the hotel all night just to get our autograph and they bring us really great presents, Kovalainen praised.

- Last year some girls took a taxi and followed us all the way to the hotel with Finland's flag waving out of the window.

Hmm....

But you're right Claudie, this time he has to take it easy

[ReAlien]

I know, I'm demanding kind of guy, but still...

[luieluv]

Nothing to worry about, I think. In the afternoon he will improve I'm quite sure! He has to find a good rhythm, I still say: take it easy!

@Wolfie: haha Heikki...

[luieluv]

I am sure Kimi in the repeat of these stages in 2nd half of the day will up the ante..

Hmm....

That reminds me of us at the Nüri last year!! We thought that it was Kimi in the black car so we waved our finish flags like crazy. But then we noticed that this were the Macca guys and Heikki was smiling like crazy and waving to us. Well anyway he seems to be a nice guy. Me likes him
