Oolrait, now I don't want to be a soar looser or anything but does no one else find it a little odd that Loeb got all the way to the finals driving nothing but the Citroen while everyone else was chaning cars???

I ask you is that fair? I never have trusted the French...

They are cheating AGAIN.

Last year the same thing, he touched the walls many times and didn't get a penalty.

Only when it was all over he got the penaltys when it didn't matter anymore.

And Loeb won (well Christensen went off)... Whoppiduu


And apparently I didn't see the whole show as in the highlights they showed Loeb racing a buggy, so he wasn't in the Citroen all the way after all... images/smilies/oops.gif

Is there somewhere to download the RoC. I've been looking over Speed's schedule and there is no listing of it anywhere. I'd really like to be able to watch it to see how everything went down (rather than have to read it off of a message board) >.<

Loeb also touched the wall in the race against Tom and last year they got 10 second penalties for doing that.


It's all a fraud.

I bet they even made sure Heikkis Gearbox would lose 2nd gear in the last corner.

This year they had a different system, one touch was a yellow card and touch the walls twice and it's a 5 second penalty.

And it was raining during the race so conditions were interesting images/smilies/lol.gif

All and all it's a great show that I would like to see live.
