Vale :

Valentino insisted that he hasn't been watching the times:

"I am very glad we had the second loop, I enjoyed it very much," he said. "I am not at all disappointed about my times because I am not watching them. We want to do the whole rally. When Carlo [Cassina - my co-driver] and I started SS1 we just said: 'We start and we look', but for sure we are being cautious.

"My only problem was a broken moose which created a big vibration at the front left wheel in the last few kilometres of the [second run through] long stage [SS4]. Still I can say that I am enjoying myself."

Rossi's co-driver, Carlo Cassina, echoed those thoughts, claiming that their main priority is to do all 17 stages and get to the finish: "Valentino wants to finish the rally, covering the greatest number of kilometres possible to gather experience on the loose. His final position at the finish is less important than getting to know and exploiting his car to the full."

Rossi is one of 11 drivers competing in Rally New Zealand with a top spec 'WRC car'.

Rossi je po etapama prvog dana bio 33, 28, 20, 20 i 13. Vozilo se po veoma blatnjavim i raskvasenim dionicama.

Lako je voziti motor...

da naravno, nista lakde hehehehe

eto, ako je iko razmisljao "ja bih super vozio rally, samo da mi je wrc auto",
ovdje ima priliku da vidi kako ide jedan virtuoz u wrc autu u poredjenju sa
vozacima koji su ipak malo duze u ovim "vodama".

p.s. sreca pa sam nasao eurosport na analognoj satelitskoj, inace bih bio
upucao nekoga.

Gledao sam i ja sinoc

Rezultat do jaja...

jeste... 11. mjesto, za malo pa 10.

kazu da ce mozda voziti veci broj relija u buducnosti?

Talenat ima, dobru volju ima, para ima... ne vidim zasto ne bi
