Man 3:09 in 46km without problems... looks like it's the first time he drives rally car....

I thought Henning had something more. i know he just tested the car once but anyway a good rally driver must adapt quicker. Look at Garde..

some big changes to the leaderboard.... Atko clibs to 4th and |Hirvonen sinks to 7th

Probably wasn't a stone that hit Wilson, it was someone running alongside tapping on the window to ask why he didn't go faster!

MacHale is driving well, but needs to be closer to Latvala on a tarmac rally....
