Yes i like giving nicknames to the drivers, for example i still call Mikko "the kid" ;D Anyway, what on earth is wrong with Olivier Quesnel? Citroen had Loeb,Ogier, Petter and Sordo in the front positions and now with their tactics they have one car out of the points

Not really.. Im a Citroen fan too but I wont keep watching the WRC and will move to local champs or IRC totally if this keeps going. At before it was tactics just end of the day but now it seems its the whole rally whats totally unacceptable.
Remember,top10 gets points and Ogier actually finished in 6th. Also by the Citroen factory team,it wasnt such a bad move as Sordo got a position but for the fans like me,I dont accept that. Ford boys Hirvonen and JML said them knew to expect this and when Mikko saw Ogier to have "engine probs" it wasnt such a hard move to take his place on running order.
Ok now Seb leads the championship by 25 points over JML and followed by Mikko 31 points behind. 10 rounds to go 6 on gravel-half tarmac and 4 tarmac events? championship aint over yet but if Seb wont make anything stupid and car will last it will be extremely hard for the Ford boys to catch him,even with new points.

heh,thought to be out myself after disastrous Rally Mexico where my gamble didnt paid out but seemed to do well at Jordania and had a lift to 2nd. Viv done excellent job and congrats for that Roll on Rally of Turkey. Should become a good one and if those deem tactics there comes into the play, I will surely follow just day1!

Pure luck! I missed the rally completely. Sounds like I didn't miss much.

This rally didn't really leave a good taste in your mouth. The tactics used by both Ford and Citro were pretty much... disgusting. I think that Citro suffered more than Ford though, because they lost a highly likely 1, 2, 3, 4 final position (including Petter in that mix). That would of maximized manufacture's points for Citro. but oh well, we know now how it all ended. I agree that Citro doesn't like to use tactics, and yes, when they employ them they do it right. One thing that Citro should take advantage of, is to pick up Petter. His pace has increased tremendously and he is still proving that he is an opponent worth dealing with. Petter's confidance is back and his fighting skills are becoming sharper. I wasn't able to follow this rally via radio, but I could see the posted times, and read reports that were constantly up-dated. At the end, I felt a bit cheated, but very happy because Petter was on the podium once more.
