Have fun Chris. All in all it seems like you have made lemon-aide from the lemons you were dealt. Looking forward to your reports. Send pictures.
Thanks guys, there's a big difference in Rally Mexico and Rally Argentina. I'm a bit pissed that there is a national class running in the rally which they didn't tell me about. I could have run that without a FIA certified cage. The Argentina guys told me I run as an invited guest. Mexico has about 28 entries, not exactly a full entry list. Anyway I hope to meet some new friends.
Looks like the first 2 stages today, 2 & 3, have been cancelled because the convoy taking them on the long trek from that ridiculous Mexico City stage is late. I feel sorry for the competitors and fans but it was a dumb idea and I'm glad there's some additional consequence to prove it.
Here's a look at the Mexico City stage run last night. [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVxWVPXgP98"]WRC - Rally Guanajuato México 2017: CDMX Street Stage/ Ott Tänak - YouTube[/ame] And the cumulative results after two runs through the stage (SS0 & SS1):
So stupid to have such a Mickey Mouse stage followed by such a long transit. Did Bernie help arrange this one? I'm sure not one competitor enjoyed this.
After the cancellation of Stages 2 & 3, the one and only running of the 55km Stage 4. Meeke started something like 8th and after the stage credited his time in part to having a cleaner road to work with. Standings after 4:
Meeke said he stalled twice on the 1.09km street Stage 6. I don't know what that means for Meeke or his Citroen but it doesn't sound good... Standings after Stage 6:
Looks like Hyundai may have resolved their misfire issue overnight. Here are Stage 9 results: (stage result left, overall on the right)
I was wondering why Meeke dropped so much time on the last stage. Apparently he had a bit of an off... [ame]https://twitter.com/Easyleftblog/status/841007045704843264[/ame]
