Formula 1 and Other Motorsport 2006

Hi all. Well I would deliver the results from round 12 of the World Rally Championship, the Cyprus Rally but Im in absolute confusion over the results.

Firstly Stage 20, the Down Town Super Special, the FIA Safety Delegate deemed that the drivers shouldnt run at competition speeds after massive crowds gathered to watch the Limassol-based stage.

Secondly Dani Sordo crashed into the 1st turn of the super-special (the stage was broadcast LIVE on Eurosport) and reports suggest the Safety Delegate told his co-driver Marc Marti that the stage times wouldnt count so what in the hell was Sordo doing? He was in a manufacturers points position, why throw it away?

Furthermore nominal times were run on Stage 21 owing to the hugh gaps between each driver bar the leading 2 drivers, rally leader Sebastien Loeb & Marcus Gronholm who were 20+ seconds apart.

So the results will be posted within the next week while I get my head around it. If you want to work out the results for yourself, go to http://www.wrc.comwww.wrc.com

I have long got my head round the Rally Cyprus results and will post them along with the F1 results from Shanghai when I get a oppotunity as Im at college at the time of typing.

Some bad news and good news from the WRC. The bad news, well, Sebastien Loeb has broken his arm in a mountain biking accident and will miss the Rally of Turkey on October 13-15. But good news on Sebs replacement, 1995 world rally champion COLIN MCRAE!! The Scotsman will sub for the Frenchman for Turkey but also might get a chance to compete in Australia pending on what condition Sebs arm is in.

Also Im looking for drawings for a college project (slightly irrelivant to this thread, I know). Basically Im going to design a unsprung chopper buffer coupling used on Welsh narrow gauge railways (again, I know its irrelivant on this thread). If theres anyone who could help me find some drawings, I would be very grateful.
