WRC Acropolis + SupeRally

All they can do is break down again and block the road, no point scoring opportunities yet ...

Hopefully Petter can get his second win this year.

Hopefully Petter can get his second win this year and I will be there to see it.

This is making me sick. I hate to be an old man, but I'm in Carlos Sainz's book.

The competition is great in todays WRC, but rallying has lost much of what it used to be.

SupeRally is good for fans, but it bleeds off the sole idea of rally:

You must finish to have a chance to win. Reliablity.

IMO endurance is a fundamental ingrediant to rally racing. I hate this rule.

I plan in going Saturday or Sunday, depends on what day the wife wants to be without wheels. I lost my Greek reading co-drivers to a NATO deployment, hope I don't get lost.

Is it me, or has the live dashboard disappeared from the wrc.com website?

What is the point of re-entering the rally a day late? Missing even one stage should put anyone out of the points. I guess if it is only the last stage of a day you are missing, the top drivers [i]could[/i] make it up if it is a short stage - comparable to Solberg's five minute penalty in Mexico. But that is a remote possibillity at best.

If they reduce/remove any mid-day service besides tires/fuel, I could see this kinda as an alternative.

Go Petter!

Also:

The Skodas are back!

The Skodas are back!

I wouldn't mind Mitsubishi and Skoda having good races and getting some points. It is also good to see four different Manufacturers in the top five - healthy competition.

Looks like they might see some rain in Lamia Saturday and Sunday according to the forecast for the area. It rained hard here in Larissa for about an hour and a half this afternoon, don't know if it made it down to Lamia. It will spoil my rally trip, not going if it is raining, minivan doesn't like mud. It will also help Petter, he likes the sloppy stuff. If I go it will be Sunday, I hope to see Petter on the podium.

I have decided not to go to the rally. The weather is just too crappy. We have had showers and T-Storms all afternoon and more in the forecast for Sunday. I don't want to sit on top of a mountain in the rain and walk through mud to get there.:( :(

Go Petter!!!
WRXedUSA 06-05-2004 02:19 PM

The Skoda's WERE back for a moment.

Wow, the 2004WRC is doing great.
WRXedUSA 06-05-2004 02:35 PM

Mikko is out. He rolled.

Petter got a 30sec time penalty. Still in it.

I'm impressed w/ Carlsson. (Next SWRT driver???)

lettucemanatee 06-07-2004 12:58 AM

i was in attendance at the rally. if anyone has some online space and a lot of bandwidth, i can upload some pics. i'll be doing a write up a little later on when i get back in the states too.

Indeed!! What the ---?
Anyhoo- I agree- I really don't understand the SuperRally deal- why do they compete the 2nd day if they can't win any points?????
Practice?
Whatever- Great job, Petter!! :banana:
Even a 30 second penalty didn't slow him down! YEah, babee!!

Mikko, Mikko, Mikko... God, what I wouldn't have given to see COLIN as SWRT #2 there! (Yes, I've heard- he crashes a lot, LOL!!) Guaranteed he'd have more points that Hirvonen by now! And just THINK of the marketing opportunities... Oy!

man you have no idea what you've missed. the rain in lamia was minimal, very light. the most rain was seen at lilea where they did the super special stage event and even that was light showers for only about 10 minutes. the rally was great, especially the last day, nothing but sun and no clouds.
