Yea the size is a bit bigger ... WRC 2004 was caped from Speed channel, where they crammed all 3 days into 1.5 hours or so, WRC 2005 caps are from EuroSport where they break the 3 days into an hour each (45 min without ads).

very welcome.

mmm...I'll get day 2 tomorrow, that was some good stuff. Loeb is a quick sunova gun, so is Atkinson.

you should have seen Loeb in Mexico .... after the first stage he damaged the rear suspension, they were able to fix it, but not before he lost about 4.5 min total. By the end of the rally Loeb was able to shave off those 4.5 min (about 30-40 sec in the last few stages) and take 4th. Insane driver.

I'll only cheer for Loeb if he goes to Subaru next year... Solberg + Loeb + Subaru = :heart:

But as of right now :thumbsdown: for Loeb :p plus he has a tendency to make rallies boring by leaving everyone behind. :(

He has the Makinen effect :p...Man if Loeb goes to Subaru and teams up with Solberg, the Makinen effect would just be doubled and things would get even more boring.

Loeb will suck the first year if he switches to Subaru .... he is used to the Citroen, 2005 alot of drivers switched manufacturers and pretty much they are getting used to their cars.

Yes, I will agree if Loeb starts driving for Subaru it will be amazing, provided he is given enough time to adjust.

That is a good point, that first year in a new car can be rough...hell switching tires is probably just as bad if not worse

It would be better if Subaru can field 3 cars and have Solberg, Loeb, and Gronholm... hahahahah... yeah yeah I know they can't. :brokenheart:

Well I'm sure the latter two won't have any trouble finding a seat next year anyway.

Yea I ment download 1 file at a time to save bandwith for others.

Can someone setup a tracker for ATOT WRC?
I will try and find a host (or if Lazee agrees to host) for upcoming rallies, but it would be nice to have a tracker setup so that we can archive rallies.
