Back to Africa! Safari rally.
Big questions:
Will Tommi finish the race this time?
Will Solberg manage to not take a major spin in the first or second legs?
Or will it be a boring Pug vs Pug vs maybe a Ford battle?
final question: will i stay sober for once this weekend and actually watch the coverage? :p (probly not)

I think the pugs are going to die hahah
Have you seen what the roads look like after the rains???? Those little Pugs are going to be stuck in the mud! I think Skoda, Subaru and Ford will do good. Its anybodys race but I think Subaru might win. They have alot of power and like mud events :devil:
| Subie Gal | 07-10-2002 09:39 PM |
not sure the pugs are solid enough but...
we'll soon see... they have improved the car very much this year...
and burns has fared well there in the past...
as always keep ya eye on carlos and colin....
too much experience there to just cast em off...
tommi...
who knows... i'm hoping he will be successful!!!
come on!!
and Petter! wow...
let's go baby! he's definately going to be world
champ sometime in the next 5 years....
time to get a win under his belt me thinks!!! :)

Solberg's Safari
This would be a great time for Solberg to take that top spot on the podium!!!
Go Petter!

Argh!!! My buddy with speed is on his honeymoon this weekend!! Stupid cable company not carrying Speed in my area!!! Grrrr......
Must find a way!
I feel like Petter's due, and Tommi will actually finish this race....around 5th or 6th.

Got my VCR set in cash the mellon forgets. Looking forwards to seeing RIM tonight!
It's nice being on the west coast, I get to see all this stuff before bedtime!
If it rains, I'll be putting my bets on Subaru. If I were putting money down right now it'd be on Gronholm. Those little silver bullets just seem to take anything on.

No way Tommi's going to make it through this one. He can't make it through a normal rally, how the heck is he going to get through the frickin' Safari?
I think Petter will do well, but I don't think he'll win. Colin or Burnsie on top, and a Skoda somewhere in the top six :)

Safari is a complete lottery. Anything can happen.
I predict the Pugs will bite it.
Tommi will finish but not win.
The Fords will be in the points.
Petter will win.
Look for a Skoda to steal some points from the big boys.

I would like to see Colin, Tommi, Petter or Carlos win.

I dont think the Pugs can take the conditions, even super cocky Gronholm was saying it wouldnt be an easy one.
My bet is Tommi or Colin.
I want Juha Kankkunen to win and if his car doesnt break like always, i'm thinkin top 5.
Skoda will do alright, they got 3rd here last year. What driver was it though?

The stars are aligned, Tommi will win! *please* There's so much support for Petter here (rightly so) but Tommi should still be our number 1 dude.
| jmullan | 07-11-2002 07:00 PM |
Petter is just hotter than Tommi. Wait a minute, what did I just say? :lol:
Perhaps Tommi just smells too much like Mitsubishi and Marlboro still.

Petter is due but it wont be this one.
Ford is going to be on the top spot.
Hopefully Tommi will finish other wise Petter and Tommi need to change spots on the team

Petter's curse
Lost over 10 min with clutch problems:confused:
But Tommi's flying. What a bittersweet way for Subaru to begin the rally.

| RollingRex | 07-12-2002 07:46 AM |
Not bad so far, Tommi still leading - in fact just increased his gap to Colin in 2nd place by 1min 38 sec on stage three...
Too bad Petter had a problem, othere wise he could be up there with Tommi.

Makkinen leads at the end of day 1. He is 16 seconds ahead of McRae who made up over two minutes on the final stage of the day. Solberg is out , I think he had major turbo failure and a fried clutch. Conditions are super bad and some of the drivers are really whining about it. There have allready been 15 retirements out of 48 cars. This Rally radio rules!
| Idjiit | 07-12-2002 11:13 AM |
Wooooo! All I can say is: This is why I love Rally. Keep Safari in the series, please!
Whatta roller coaster... I was waiting for news to hear that Makinen had picked up a puncture or something, but it sounds like McRae just turned it on and kicked ass on SS4. Rock on! Can't wait for the coverage tonight on Speed...
In a totally unrelated note, Colin was in my dreams last night. He was hanging out at a BBQ, and we went to Circuit City or something to buy a PS2 and Colin McRae 3. Heh. My fiancee just kinda rolled her eyes when I told her in the shower this morning. :lol:

Martin
Martin apparently can't take the whole adventure and even though hes in a sold sixth place, he has to cry and whine, "I want to go home." What a pansy.
Even though Kankkunen is something like half an hour back in 11th, I predict a top 5 finish.
And what about those Citroens!? They were flying! I see good things coming from them in the next few years.

Well its good tommi isn't over driving the car. We need him to finish.
I bet if Tommi leads into the final day we will see a huge break out of colins car as he rolls it or hits a zebra or something.
Darn Petter's luck, if he gets better luck that would help.

Okay, I was leaning towards Mr. Felstead's opinion that Subaru is screwing up and not treating Petter (and his car) as they should, but this pretty much confirms it in my opinion.
I would imagine Petter is getting pretty fed up by now.
Go Tommi!

still can't get over that rollover crash at Rally Argentina. hard to believe he walked away from that one.

I think Markko is still a little bitter. He complained all the time how Subaru would let Solberg drive but not him. So maybe he's still a little bitter about that whole situation? Who knows!
I wonder though if the comment about wanting to go was sarcastic. He's just joking around cause of the bad day he has had? It's probably something I would say. :lol:

Rule number 1, understand what your co-driver is saying :D
Yah, Colin's detour was pretty funny but if you looked closely there were already tire tracks there, and its not uncommon in the safari to 'straiten out the road' on the flat sections.

| Lifino | 07-14-2002 09:44 AM |
I wouldn't get my hopes up for McRae... He's still got three more chances to over extend himself in the attempt for a finish + flourish. In other words he's got another three opportunities to roll the car, today.
| dwx | 07-14-2002 10:29 AM |
McRae with the win. When Panizzi is winning stages at the Safari rally you know the attrition rate has been pretty high. I have always been a big McRae fan though, no matter what he drives. I'm not sure how much longer we'll see the Safari on the circuit.
| ShockWave | 07-14-2002 11:03 AM |
12 out of 48 finished. But most importantly, I think we should all take a moment to congratulate Kailesh Chauhan coming in 12th in a Forester!
A Forester! In WRC! What a concept!
