I just explained in the previous thread my surprise not to find any Argentina rally thread


Are argentinian members(Zekeargentina and others)so pessimistic they even won't attend their home event ????

DO WRC still exist with those one man show?

Trouble with WRC is even if Loeb retires or crashes, Hirvonen will win easily instead. If Loeb and Hirvonen retires, there may be a good battle between Latvala, Sordo and Petter but is this what we need for a good rally?

Unfortunately I have little chances of going.
My Manager is on holidays and I should stay at work till late friday, would only reach Cordoba by Saturday afternoon, and little tiem to watch something, but still got one little opportunity (fly there are gather another friend who should have carand Hotel booking).

Even if Loeb should win, I guess Hirvonen will be there
Fight with Sordo and latvala as usual, and Petter + Henning and Ogier could be interesting.
I just hope Villagra could shouw som speed, at leasta little because he has been giving anything at all.

PWRC should be very interesting, beside the usuals (Arai, Nasser, Brynildsen, Prokop) locals are also candidates for the win: PWRC wildcards Pozzo, Ligato, and Bernardi (who will run for Tapper NZ regular PWRC team but with his usual Tango Team car), but also Menzi, Cancio and Madero are candidates.

Unfortunately rain is not good for the event, if it is just a little, ok little dust, but heavy rain as last year leve too slipery terrain and speedwise it will not look interesting.

I totally forgot about Argentina, until I saw some recce pics on Henning Solberg's blog this morning.

Congrats Loe ..

I already checked weather forecast and it seems there exist 30% of probability to rain on Friday and the same for Saturday. Even rain is not the best to attend in person to the rally I heard Solberg says it benefits to him since it squeezes the end speed gap he has with the manus. Then in order to do not get bored again looking 5th in a row for Sebastian I think some rains will be fine....
