WTCC: I expect the diesel boys to win, as I think they have for the last 2 years at this event?
WRC: I too am looking forward to see how Ken block does in Mexico. From a personal point of view, I'd love him to beat Raikkonen. ;)

Is there anywhere to watch WTCC online? I haven't followed it since they stopped showing it live on the official website. If anyone knows PM me up with the link.
And as for the WRC rallying doesn't really interest me any more, but if Solberg beats Block and Block beats Raikkonen I'll be happy. :p

Have no interest in the WTCC at all.
Will keep half an eye out for the WRC, hope Block does well :) As for IRC, will read in Motorsport News on Weds what happens, so wont watch it.

WRC *contains spoiler*
WRC wise, after 3 stages, Solberg has won all 3 and is pulling away at the front, from Ogier, Sordo and Loeb. Citroen 1-2-3-4 *yawn* ... Block is a respectable ninth, beating Raikkonen on the first stage, before Raikkonen managed to lose 23 minutes on stage two to fall to practically last.

I hope Solberg wins it he derseves to, hes the Rossi of Rallying, Kimi has had an engine problem and may restart under super rally rules.
Kriss Meeke is Leading in his Pug 207 in the IRC.

reports say he rolled it 6 times, hes set decent times, Hes gotta expect a few crashes at first, I think someone has forgot to tell him theres no runoff areas in Rallying :p He was using them all the while in F1 maybe hes still Climatising.
Eunos
6th Mar 2010, 12:02 PM
That's true, I don't think anybody was expecting him to come in and run circles around Loeb and Hirvonen etc ;)
Just remember Kimi atleast in F1 there arent any Cliffs on the other side :p

Well if he has less crashes than Latvala had last year, then he's guaranteed a seat in WRC next year. :p

Well what a suprise in the WRC. Loeb goes from 3rd to first. Strange how Solberg "decided" to go first onto day losing him time while I dont know what happened to Ogier. Can anyone say fix.

What?! Solberg didnt cheat by the fact he went into the day first on the road, he did none of these cheating tactics on the first day, he went out to gain the biggest lead possible, knowing he would run first second day. Unfortunately he didnt get a lead big enough and Loeb overtook him on day 2. Solberg and Loeb run for completely different teams, theres no team orders of such if thats what your implying?!

If it's a Team you like = Team Tactics, It's apart of MotorSport
Team you don't like = OH NOES!!, their Cheating!!, It's a Scandal!! DQ Them, OFF with their heads!!!

Loeb, Solberg and Ogier all drive for Citroen. And Solberg is a verteran and most veterans Solberg and Loeb included have slowed down to finish second on the day in the past as to not be first on the road the following day. And there is still no news on what caused Ogier to slow down.

First of all. Solberg does not drive for the same team as Loeb. He has the same car, but is running it alone in the "Petter Solberg World Rally Team". And Solberg decided not to slow down to finish second. Therefore he decided not to use those tactics, which many people dont like. He raced as hard as he could till the end of the day and because of it had to run first on the second day. So what exactly did he do wrong?

And last year SunRed and all other indy teams didnt pull out of the way of the works teams in the WTCC. Just because he isnt in a Works Citroen doesnt mean if they asked him to let Loeb through that he wouldnt. Remember that Citroen provide him all the parts. Someone as experienced as Solberg goes for the wins but his decision makes no sense. He would have known 15 seconds wasnt enough to maintain the lead. My personal opinion is he was asked like Ogier to just get to the finish and let Loeb(the Schumacher of WTCC) win.

WTCC and WRC, completely different.
Solberg is in the same breed as Colin McRae, flat out all the time. McRae wouldnt have sat back and played the tactics, nor does Solberg. There aim is to go out, as fast as possible and enjoy themselves, while entertaining the fans. If Citroen want to play that game, who cares, I prefer seeing Solberg going flat out than sitting back.

If they were ever going to ask Solberg to let Leob through, it would be near the end of the season if Loeb had more points than Solberg. Seeing as the WRC is only three round in now, there'd be no team order. ;)
