Wonderboy Sordo, part II
Is it just me but is he getting faster and more consistent by the rally on fast gravel? I think his performance in Finland was rather good and now he was right there behind the top. This is what folks here expected to happen but little earlier. I think he developing to a good allrounder after all

he sure shows improvenment in the last few rallies, but i think he still needs time in order to achieve the level of the Ford drivers and challenge them when conditions are equal.

was he the only one of the top four not to run first on the road all weekend? this helped him look slightly better than he actually did. but still improving non the less, but he will never match finns or loeb on gravel.

Yes it's just You A.F.F : I've been a supporter of his for a couple of years, but he disappointed me many times. He still is a great tarmac driver but he will never be fast on gravel and consistent for the whole season. I would like to see Aava on that car next year

Obviously he's not a natural gravel driver, but I think he is doing wondersl, he has just finished second in New Zealand, it is true he never looked like a challenge for the top dogs but I would say his gravel season so far has been rather impressive.
There WAS nothing like rallying, Superrally is a joke!

For the moment, I find him a better option than Aava for Citroen. (but not from Rautenbah)

As a #2 driver he's doing a pretty good job, and if I were boss at Citroen I wouldn't be looking to replace him, unless maybe Petter became available, but even then who is higher in the championship...?

Petter would never accept to be #2 driver for servicing Lord Loeb :
Maybe his old brother Henning
