Colin McRae, not Constantinople: RALLY TURKEY starts 10/13!

So yeah, since Loeb is out with a "broken arm" (aka: his hard drive crashed) we might actually have a real rally!
Go Colin! :banana:

Are you trying to say Loeb looks like Keanu Reeves?
| OBShahn | 10-06-2006 11:04 AM |
McRae for third unless Mikko has a bauble or Marcus drives just by the splits...
| runnah | 10-06-2006 11:59 AM |
Looks like Kronos will have a good change of losing the manf championship.
Groholm 1st
Mikko 2nd
Petter 3rd (Loeb got all his bad karma)
Henning 4th
Atikinson 5th
Gardimiester 6th
Stohl 7th
Sordo 8th
McCrash will crash out.

Good to see McRae back where he belongs. Rumor is he's looking for a ride for '07...but we saw how that panned out when he was looking for one for '06. :(
Marcus will still win though.

It's always wicked to see McRae back. His performance with Skoda in his last outing was outstanding despite the final problems he ran into. I expect to see some good results being that he is driving the Xsara again.
| rallymaniac | 10-12-2006 11:36 PM |
Go Colin. I really want him to be 3rd or 2nd with Marcus on the top.
Of course i wouldn't mind if Petter was on the top but Colin needs to be on the podium :)

According to crash.net, the organisers have been forced to cancel SS1 and SS2 due to bad weather conditions, which would have prevented the medical helicopter from landing near the stages had their been an emergency.
Results after SS3:
SS3 - Kumluca 1 (9.90 km): Gronholm fastest through a very muddy and slippery SS3; Petter Solberg second; Katajamaki third; Henning Solberg fourth; Colin McRae fifth; Hirvonen sixth; Rovanpera lost a back wheel; Aigner broke the left rear wheel; Duval damaged the rear of his car; Meeke had windscreen wiper problems; Wilks heads the JWRC category; Gronholm leads the overall rally by 24.9secs. Overall standings:
1. Marcus Gronholm BP Ford Focus RS WRC 06 7mins 42.7secs M1
2. Petter Solberg Subaru WRT Impreza WRC 2006 +00mins 24.9secs M1
3. Kosti Katajamaki Stobart VK Ford Focus WRC 04 +00mins 33.6secs M2
4. Henning Solberg OMV Peugeot Norway 307 WRC +00mins 37.0secs M2
5. Colin McRae Kronos Citroen Xsara WRC 06 +00mins 37.9secs M1
6. Mikko Hirvonen BP Ford Focus RS WRC 06 +00mins 38.7secs M1
7. Andreas Aigner Red Bull Skoda Fabia WRC +00mins 43.7secs M2
8. Xavier Pons Kronos Citroen Xsara WRC +00mins 43.9secs
9. Daniel Sordo Kronos Citroen Xsara WRC 06 +00mins 45.5secs M1
10. Francois Duval First Skoda Fabia WRC +00mins 46.2secs
Prediction for SS4: Solberg runs over a spectator's turkey sandwich, sending sharp bread crust puncturing into the car's oil pan.

from rally-live.com
News after SS8:
Phaselis is the longest stage of the rally, at just under 30km. Once again Petter Solberg took the stage victory, beating his brother Henning by 2.1 seconds.
�It's a very good day. The car is great and I feel confident,� mentioned Petter Solberg.
Marcus Gronholm was the only one to come close to the two brothers' time, the Ford driver finishing third, just seven tenths behind Henning. The Finn's lead over Petter Solberg is now 28 seconds.
Mikko Hirvonen set the fourth fastest time, eight seconds slower than Petter Solberg. Most importantly, the Finn is now threatened by Henning Solberg. Hirvonen is third in the race standings but Henning Solberg is only one tenth of a second from catching the young Ford driver.
Chris Atkinson gained two places in the race standings. The Subaru driver achieved the fifth best time in SS8, enough to promote him to sixth overall, 14.4 seconds behind Kosti Katajamaki.
Once again the Kronos drivers are barely scratching the bottom of the top ten.
Colin McRae � who admitted making the wrong tyre choice - dropped from fifth to seventh overall after setting the ninth quickest time, 36.9 seconds slower than Petter Solberg.
Xevi Pons was slightly faster than the 1995 World Champion, taking eighth place, three tenths of a second adrift on Harri Rovanpera. The Spaniard lost one position in the general standings and now finds himself in eighth place.
Dani Sordo had to settle for the twelfth fastest time, behind Manfred Stohl (10th) and Francois Duval (11th). Sordo is already 2:30.5 away from the leader, eleventh overall behind Francois Duval.

Yeah, I feel bad for him. He seems a geniunely nice guy, and was really looking good at the beginning of the year. The crash in Cyprus was nbd, if unpleasant for all involved, but that off in Finland was "Oooooooof!" big. Add to that the Japan unpleasantness, and it's really adding up!

Sorry couldn't resist. :lol:
I think he was brought up too quickly and it got him. Kronos thought they were amking the right choice since Pons wasn't producing, but Dani was too green IMO. I was surprised they put him in #2 this season. I was figuring they'd have waited until next season.
I am sure he will rebound but it may have hurt alot more than it helped. Instead of him going into 07 with a good season under his belt, he will be going in with a shaken confidence. I hope he can shake it off and come back strong.

5 Stage wins, and only 34 seconds back--but now retired from the rally after hitting a rock on a transit road before SS15. At this point, I'm not surprised by anything that happens to Petter.
| XenoWolf | 10-14-2006 02:47 PM |
He hit it on TRANSIT? .... wow.

I wonder how long it will be until Eurosport has a 'SWRT Transit Adventures' feature?

man, this season has had some really bad luck for drivers :( petter's had terrible luck all season long and then sordo's seemed to catch some of it recently within the last handfull of rallies. hopefully next season will hold better luck for them.

If there's a silver-lining in any of this, Petter scored 7 stage wins in this rally.

It was during the stage, not during transit.

Congrats to Henning Solberg on his first WRC podium :D
OMV Peugeot's Henning Solberg finished on the podium in the WRC for the very first time on the Rally of Turkey on Sunday, when he brought his 307 WRC car home in third.
Henning was in contention for a solid result from the off and eventually took the final place on the rostrum by just over 20 seconds. The Norwegian was extremely emotional at the finish and even admitted to having shed a tear or two, after his co-driver, Cato Menkerud was also overcome at the finish, following the 28.55 kilometre-run through Olympos that brought the event to a close.
"I think it's the first time we have cried in the car, two tough guys. Cato started crying, so I had to join him," said Henning. "It's not easy being the big brother to Petter, but I'm catching him step by step.
"I always try to fight. You can never give up. On the penulimate stage a brake pipe broke in the car. I have been a mechanic since I was six years old, so I worked hard and fixed it. We weren't very fast, but we could make it and I'm very happy with third place. It feels very good to be close to Petter. He has all the experience on all these rallies and it feels good to be closer to the top. It's not easy, you have to work hard." :D
