Good corner to be on, can't believe how fast he took that hairpin!

There is no question about it. The difference in the technique is so visible.

The others were usually starting to brake around the tree area (where the arrow indicates)

Loeb? :ponder2: He still kept it floored there. His braking point was extremely delayed and sideways, almost unreal to perform. :eek7:
This guy is programmed winning machine like... :dontknow:

I had a great weekend. Weather was cold and wet but worth it.
Myself and my brother stayed in the same B&B as Brian and Niall , Nic and Danny - Karma to you guys for such a top weekend :thumbsup:

Ummmmmmmmm ehhhhhh congrats to Loeb,savage pilot but I reckon Mikko Hirvonen was pushing harder in spots and he has my support, I hope he does well.

There was plenty of nice machinery about, some clean MKII escorts and a savage white Lancia Integrale with the cooling discs attached to the wheels - It was peachy Duffman :smile:

Also seen some nice evos :lol:

@....Copperhead . By any chance was it u i met after da Lough Gill stage, u were wonderin if da road we were on would lead to donegal :ponder2: . If so nice scooby lad and sweet sound of her... :thumbsup:
 
:thumbsup:

thats about as close to perfect as you can get. im thinkin about changin my opinion about him
 
Heard today Russia & Indonisia pulling out of WRC 2010- so rotations system might be scrapped with the likes of Ireland , Finland, Monte Carlo etc being drafted in For been well run/ organised historic events.Supposed to be in the Star today but didnt see it!!!
 
Russia & Indonisia were inline for a World Rally Stage but when the venues and organisation in each country were checked for suitability they were found not to be up to a high enough standard.

Becasue of this failure WRC are now looking into a fixed schedule for the Championship with fixed venues and no rotation. I will also save on costs etc. As Ireland is one of the rotation venues it may not see the WRC again. :icon_cry:
