They finally fixed the damn car??

If Petter doesn't win, it will be because of the car again. I have faith in Petter. :banana:
Takashi 04-13-2004 08:48 PM

pressure's on. i think solberg and hirvonen should do pretty well though. it'll be interesting with the new cars. ford sounds VERY optimistic about the new focus.

we shall see!!!

Hey, how about some information in the post, eh? Not all of us check rally sites all the time, but quite a few of us want to know when to watch it on TV. :)
bemani 04-14-2004 03:10 AM

Its always on rally weekend Sunday 6-8 PT... not like F1 where you have to stay up late and stuff :D

Lancers out
Mitsubishi Lancer Wrc cars of Panizzi/Panizzi and Sohlberg/Lindstrom have retired. The both had electrical problems on stage 2. These guys need to work on reliability.
AndyRoo 04-15-2004 02:49 PM

ouch that sucks
WRXedUSA 04-15-2004 07:40 PM

Bork alternators on the DSM's. That's sad to know you shipped your junk halfway around the world to have it fail on stage 1.

I'm appalled, no "Live evnet dashboard"

First no radio, then this? What?

Petter is better and back on top!
Petter is back up on the lead. Gronholm had a bad stage 6 and is over 30 clicks off. Damn that Rovenpara.
DonA 04-15-2004 10:33 PM

wrc.com must getting slammed with traffic...The data coming up is sketchy and slow :confused:

Lots of page errors any one else?
rupertberr 04-15-2004 10:48 PM

Rally-Live.com seems to be working well. I am boycotting wrc.com because they dropped rally radio.

Rovanpera wins stage 7 and is the new Rally leader.

Solberg back to second.

Gronholm second in stage and up to third OA.
nKoan 04-16-2004 12:22 AM

Rovanpera in the lead, now thats a suprise. I've always liked him, and I'm glad he's finally getting a chance to shine.

But on the other hand, GO PETTER!

How the hell is Rovanpera able to beat solberg and gronholm?..
and when and why did solberg car number changed to number 1?
DonA 04-16-2004 09:45 AM

Solberg is WORLD CHAMPION

The regining world champ always gets #1 for the entire season

Harri is a talented driver no suprise to see him doing well

Solberg always plays it cool on the first day and becomes "The Hunter" on days 2 & 3 thats his style and his term

Yep, day one he just needs to be in the hunt. Solberg is in good position. His biggest concern is going off, or mechanical problems, like last time.
TV3WRX 04-16-2004 12:27 PM

Anyone else in utter disbelief that both Mitsu's retired after one stage with electrical problems? How can that be, for a team that took a year off to re-develop a car? Kinda sad to see, and not a good statement on the state of the WRC.

To be honest, the whole WRC picture does not seem as exciting this year, to me. Of course I'm glad to see Petter doing well, Markko too, but there are too few cars/teams, and not enough real competition or interesting stories. Tougher to follow too, without rally radio, no daily vid clips on the WRC site, etc. Is it just me or what?

Even these rally threads seem to be "dead" this year with far less participation...why is that? Thoughts?

Well, Hyundai & Skoda aren't competing yet, Mitsu is starting over (sorta), Peugot has steering problems. There has been a lack of depth to the competition. Once Peugot is reliable again, and either Mitsu, Hyundai or Skoda (pic one) gets kinda cometitive, it will be good. Plus, the early rallies are spaced so far apart that the early season seems quiet.

WRXedUSA 04-16-2004 09:24 PM

Glad to see the Impreza04 is working well. I think that car is most suited to gravel amongst the others.

Yea, in the 4 yrs of following WRC, this one is pretty bad.

Just as I was making the final stage post. You beat me.

Good to see that Solberg won the last stage to put more time between him and Gronholm.

Solberg is never "Cocky" confident at times but never cocky.

When he first signed on to Subaru he was very aggressive and crashed alot (he wrecked many a foci when with ford)...as he matured he always has been very greatful for his ride with Subaru something you rarely see in other drivers. Along with his gratitude grew confidence not only in himself but the team as a whole. I believe this is one of the main reasons why he is such a very popular driver

Lets hope Mikko take a similar path...we'll see in about 3 years

Thumper23 04-17-2004 08:31 PM

good news is that service is next and he's only 1 sec off the lead

Petter's still gonna pull it off:banana:

I tell you, if there's one man you don't want behind you on the last day, it's Marcus Gronholm and we were both pushing like hell out there. He had trouble, then I had trouble, I'm totally exhausted, but overall it's been really, really good fun. Rallying is a very special sport and to win here is a great feeling. I have so many people to thank in the team at Subaru and Pirelli, [b]but here in New Zealand I'd like to dedicate this win to Possum Bourne.[/b]"[/quote]
