WARNING: If you are driving down to Greece avoid Serbia. Blackmailing by corrupted police and state controlled scams overcharging for autobahn fees are reality, just stay away form this country. It happen to me and its kind of insulting. People told me that Romania is save, but too slow and too much traffic. Best choice for driving is Ferry from Italy, or just get on the plane.

First, great to see the new SUBARU Impreza WRC 08 on the entry list. I really hope for it to be competitive.

Other than that, i think there is an OK entry list. No suprises... But better than previous rallies...! Interesting will also be what Rautenbauch will do with (to) his Citroen in the rally, he has done quite stupid thing in each rally, hasn't he?

I will follow the rally frequently in the weekend, finally school is over for the summer so this rally comes perfect as a celibration of that.

Cheers!!

Most likely it will be. Why? Because PS is not optimistic this time (his comments after recce about not knowing what to expect from the new car) meaning the opposite will happen
Anyway, good luck to entire SWRT.

I think being a Subaru fan fills you full of optimism and at some point delusion. Hope Petter comes out swinging and gets some points. I'd really like for the boys in blue to shatter someone elses dreams this season.

Lets for the sake of WRC that the new Subaru works out great.. Otherwise i cant see Subaru throwing out money the way their doing on this so much longer

Big air intakes for brake cooling, maybe the calipers are not water cooled as the previous versions?
