By winter testing I am not, of course, referring to tests driven in winter conditions.. You can't parallel Petter's little testing to what Grönholm had with Ford Focus. The fact is that Petter had...

Don't seem to be difficult at all to IRC-series.

...after extensive testing during winter break. From actual parallels.. I don't remember that Dudu was lightning fast in his first rally with Ford Focus 2008..

It was the first time in the...

Crazy world!

Henning is getting full budget and Petter is fighting it. Lol :--)

Hahah, that's just your old poor trick with zero rational value whatsoever..

Everyone can imagine situation that Solberg would have driven the factory C4 for few years and Sordo would have driven...

When Latvala started his factory-career 2007 he was fast and unreliable. Nowadays he is slow and and unreliable. There is no progress but regression. Next year is unlikely to be different. Nowadays...

OK Petter is poor-piss driver nowadays. However on stages he has been consistently faster than Latvala in both C4 rallies. Consider also that Petter had never been driving C4 in muddy conditions...

And Petter was faster in both events when he was driving C4. There is no slightest doubt about Petter's ability to sweep the floor with Latvala. I also reckon that Petter would be at least match to...

Altough Barrichello was more competitive than Sordo. Every now and then Barrichello was able to outpace Schumi...

How that massive driveshaft problem is possible? Didn't they test it thousands of kilometres and rallies or are they bringing novel parts to this rally?!

Nice to see how Solberg will do today. We can already say that from the first kilometeres his gravel performance was on par with Latvala-Sordo-level. Let's see what's improvement.

So far instead of evolution we have only seen regression. He is not even as fast as Hirvonen and in terms of reliability the situation is horrible. And, of course, on asphalt he just got beaten by...

In his best gravel rallies Mikko is near-match to Seb but in most gravel rallies Seb is is faster.

But considering how reliable Mikko is his performance top-notch. Especially under current point...

Latvala has been considerably fast for instance in Catalunya but never from the first metres. I remeber that already with Stobart Latvala was setting times near to leading cars but he always needs...

Latvala has to learn asphalt every year.. this guy is eternal problem.

The fact that there is scarcely any ciritical articles on this issue is once again showing how low wrc-journalism really is.

You are clearly not rating Petter as asphalt driver. I am dissappointed if Petter can't match Latvala straightaway.

There is much expectations for Ogier but judging by the rally...

I don't believe that Petter can beat Citroen works drivers but he should have have shot on Jari-Matti at least.

Don't you recognize Hirvonen's technical problem in argentina as unlucky? If Loeb had same kind of point loss his world championship chances would be almost over now. If current point system is way...

No because he is not good on asphalt..

Ogier is lightyears faster than Sordo in his first wrc-season.

Ogier is doing great job. I think he is much better than many previous drivers who got much more hype. Ogies is still in very early pahes considering his experience which makes his learning curve...

It's painful to watch drivers like Chris and Petter in sideline. It would only take one little change to the rules to get them back in competitive cars. FIA, Citroen and Ford should do contract to...

I believe there was some complications in Petter's Xsara dealings so his Xsara didin't represent what it could have been. The telling fact is thaqt even Mikkelsen out of nowehre was able to drive...

OK, if so many potential manufacturer has agreed on s1600 then it's not too bad decision.

But I have been wondering some time why they are not doing three cars per manufacturer rule? If there was...

That ing nightmare still going on.. With S2000 cars we would have seen entry list of 20 drivers and now they obviously want 1600 cars with two manufacturers. I think major manufacturers should move...
