Why?!? More troubles than a clutch?
I was hoping for historical SS win nr. 11,12,13,... for the Fabia WRC...

For me - PGA is already THE STAR OF THIS RALLY - anyone disagree???

Wasting of money for cruising through the stages without any chance on good result?

i read seb's diary and i think he's "onto to something" when he says that in the Citroen's they got a good coupé heater while the ford has crappy one (if they got one at all). While its probably not the main casue for Hirvonen and Latvala being behind, i think it do affect the ford boys abitbecause surely it must be easier to focus if the temperature in the coupé is more comftorble?

I had a look into homologation list on fia.com and found that those two ex-CRT Fabias from Konsgrud have probably different suspension (and running gear) than all others. There is homologation of suspension from 1st january 2007. It must have been developed by CRT kopecký and than homologated by Škoda. That's the only possibility. I presume that only those two cars have it and that may be paticular reason for better performance of those cars.

Mads Østberg drove with both windows open on several stages on Friday, due to problems with fog on the inside of front windscreen. He said afterwords that it was the coldest he ever had experienced, and I believe him. Minus 22 degrees and 200 kmh!

Here's a picture of Van Merkelsteijn Jr., taken in the same corner as the picture I took of Petter. Follow the link to my photo page, since I haven't got my own homepage.
