eurosport every night

last year if it wasnt for a gearbox failure,mcrae would have won at his first attempt (imho) of course


marcyboy - 2/1/05 at 06:33 PM

well after quite a lot of d.n.f's,
do you reckon he's hexed...

mcrae is a fighter and i hope he wins,its a pity there is no covarage on beeb/itv etc,when i was in poland last year it was on the news and 1/2 hour every night even they only had 2 or 3 entrants.
here we have 2 chanels of DARTS! ffs

the vehicles are very high tech. some of the bikes are two wheel drive(thats bikes not quads).the VW is built so that the drive shafts are the same on opposite corners and the front and rear prop shafts are the same.there is an article about it in this weeks Autosport. Eurosport have a 1/2 hr show at 2130 most nights.

Good info and vid's on the Eurosport web site.

Just heard that mcrae has crashed out of the rally, he was doing so well.
Typical mcrae, it is all or nothing with him he always drives at 100%
It was a bad crash but they are both OK.

He only has two speeds.

1. Flat out.
2. Crashed.



I do like his commitment though!


marcyboy - 5/1/05 at 08:42 PM

i think he gives 110%.... but he might of done better giving 95%, hare and the tortoise was a good read
