Loeb has won on Track and in Rally and quite likely he will win in RallyX... so Loeb.
Nice win by Ekstrom.
Good race again, Ekström is very strong.
Shame about Bakkerud, he was very fast in the heats and the semi-finals, he could have fought for the podium, maybe a win. Anyone knows what happened in the finals? It looked like some technical issue with the Focus.
He's not making it look quite as easy as some people said he would though. Okay so this weekend he had reliability problems, but he often didn't seem to have the pace of Solberg and Ekstrom. TBH I think his style is still too reserved to really excel at RX, he needs to be more aggressive.
Was a good weekend, interesting to see a S1600 roll and then a lap later another car roll, land on the first one and burst into flames! Some great racing, think Solberg was a cut above everyone else but ran out of tyres in the final. Also a shame that Bakkerud had an issue as he'd seemed quick. Wasn't to be for the Brits either, seemed like Wilks had a load of understeer and I think he may have been quicker in the 1.6 Mini last year!
Not many photos as I mostly just watched, they were also mostly crap so have been through the Windows 10 editor very quickly, here's a couple though:

Loeb will not succeed in WRX, he hates dirty tactics, that was evident in the final were he backed off from 3rd position to avoid hitting anyone. He might win an event though if he gets good momentum.
