2011 World Rally Championship

[Krister Larsson]

Yes, the wrc site is a pain but from what I understand suffer from heavy load. At facebook.com/visatmotorsverige you should also be able to get live in car video from Patrik Sandell and Richard Göransson. Been working so and so I would say. Mostly working from Richards car but not from Patriks.

this is crazy:

This years winner of the prestigous Colins Crest Award, given to the WRC-driver who has the longest jump over the famous Colins Crest at the Vargåsen stage, is Ken Block!

[Krister Larsson]

Yes, this is really crazy with a lot of people just standing there watching. This is what it looked like when Ken is about to land

 

[Hannu Karesola]

Lol Block's jump was awesome. Wasn't very far away from rolling the car.

Tomorrow we should see how fast factory Citroen goes when Loeb and Ogier will have clean road. But..Latvala and Solberg started second and third today and they are still in the game.

 

[Yann Laprevotte]

Quite amazing that Brynilsden has taken 2nd on that jump, with a Skoda Fabia S2000!

I will upload my footage from the stage Løvhaugen of the friday leg tomorrow. Nt very professional, but it gives you an idea of how fast these guys go

 

[William Elgh]

[Hannu Karesola]

What's going to happen on SS14 which decides tomorrows driving order. From 1st-5th under 30 seconds so anything can happen and it will be very difficult if you're starting 1st tomorrow.

 

[William Elgh]

could someone tell me whats the different beetween a s2000 fiesta and the WRC fiestas?

 

[Hannu Karesola]

S2000 has 2.0 liters engine without turbo and WRC has 1.6 turbo engine. Sure there's more that I don't know.

Will be amazing day tomorrow! First 5 cars has only 15 seconds gap. Going to be rough day to Hirvonen and Östberg. These two are driving first and if they can keep their places at the end of the day it will be well deserved.

Don't know what happened to Räikkönen today. He's been flying and done amazing stage times.

Love the roofslide.

 

[Omer Said]

lol poor Henning,

Hirvonen extended his lead again, it seems he is close to victory.

 

[Erik Tveit]

Hmm, I really hope that Østberg or Solberg will finish on the podium. After my opinion they both deserve it.

 

[Ivo Simons]

Lol

The co-driver became the main driver today as Chris Patterson got the chance to get behind the wheel of the new Citroen during the WRC PowerStage. Mainly because Petter was a bit too fast on public roads, which cost him his license!

 

[William Elgh]

hehe thanks for the explaining the reson i watched this live and they said like solberg has some sort of technical problem, but when they saw that the co was driving they said itsnot a problem with the car the problem is the driver

this srage was awesome

 

[William Elgh]

btw mikko hirvonnen won
