The most thrilling WRC round to date?
| September 4th, 2007I admit, Im a utter geek when it comes to WRC, I try not to watch tv, read newspapers or be “online” much during an event. To have few friends that share my passion for the sport also helps 
Last night I edited down the captures and started to watch what will be remembered as the most nail biteing rally to date. For those that dont care about the sport or just dont get it, let me try & recap, I’ll even add some screen captures & clips to hopefully help you see the light.
The fight between 1st & 2nd place could be summed up with; now-now, but that wouldnt be enough to justify a blog entry, so here is a clip from the second last stage(SS17).
Close enough? Not really, lets cut of a few more 10th shall we? Heres a clip from the remaining few seconds of the last stage(SS18).
A total race time of 3:52:53.9, almost 4 hours of flat-out nutty gravel driving and 0.3 seconds between the top places. Holy shit, I have never witnessed a battle like this, EVER. Heres Virtual Spectator showing the distance in meters.
7.6 meters…. A memorable weekend from the fantastic Rally of New Zealand, the battle for the WRC title is by no means over, the remaining rallies this season cannot come soon enough.
Bets are on, will it be Gronholm or Loeb thats on the top of the podium at the seasons end? I must admit, I hope for 2 finnish lads with a sob’in frenchy squeezed into second place.
Till next round; Flat out, over crest into hair pin right, dont cut, geeks inside!
