Cyprus WRC

[TK]

Atko was OK in stages 1 & 2...but stage 3 time is not flash.
Hopefully only a flat.

EDIT: Oh Oh.....sidelined by a clutch problem....

He has been one unlucky sod so far... surely one of these events it will all come together. Check out the average speeds though, well below 60kph on some stages. Tighter and rougher than a ...... no I won't go there.

Nice effort by the bush mechanic at least:

6 Atkinson – Pushed his car out of the time control at the end of SS2 with a clutch problem. “I feel pretty down to be honest,” said Chris. “I don’t think we can fix it. This is my first taste of Cyprus hospitality!” Atkinson eventually poured some coca cola over the clutch plate to enable him to carry on.

This rally is a joke. How many retirements already? Then I read that Corsica last day is 2 stages! One stage repeated. FFS.



D'Oh! Just been capped. 28.8k no good.

I love this quote after SS7:

18 Benik has retired from the rally because his co-driver became disenchanted and has gone home.

Gold.
