2009 Rally Argentina - official thread

[Fide]

Anybody knows the specs of Villagra´s FORD ? I ask this because even he has proven to be one of the fast Argentinean drivers (he has beaten the rest of competitors on Argentinean Championship since last two or three years) during WRC calendar always see him 5 or 7 minutes behind the leaders and I don't think is is just a matter of adaptation since this is his second year competing in WRC championship.

Heavy rain is predicted for both Friday and Saturday...!!!So,good news for P.Solberg!

Again FLOODED service parc ?

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.
.

Brynildsen have a big problem!! His Mitsubishi from Ralliart New Zeealand was taken of the boat in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil by a mistake. The customs sent the car on the boat back to New Zeealand.......It wont come to Argentina!

They are looking for a similar car to rent........but so far they have not any car and not servicecar and spareparts.....its on its way back to NZ!!! Maybe he will not start in Argentina at all. Bad luck!

I assume its the same spec as the Stobarts, and I agree that he is surprisingly slow. At first I put it down to inexpereince in a full-blown WRC car on WRC events, but he's had enough rallies now that he should be challenging Wilson, Henning and even Petter in Argentina. Let's see.

Problem sorted out, he will run a VRS (Villagra rally team) Lancer (I guess an EVO IX, but Villagra has EVO X availabel also).
The car will be run and serviced by VRS team, excelent car by the way developed in Argentina and winner team of last 4 national championships

WRC is (almost) dead. Please give Loeb his 6th WRC title and let him go to the Endurance Racing in 2010.

I don't think I will follow WRC this weekend: there is World Superbike, MotoGP (even not so boring as WRC now), World Championship Motocross, World Championship Snooker (even that has more suspence than WRC), Rallye de Wallonie and more.

You've forgotten something, and as a Belgian -I thought you would have mentioned Liege-Bastogne-Liege.

[Wim_Impreza]

Yes, I will see that too.

No need to explain it! I'd finish the whole JWRC, it's ridiculous that only 3 competitors start the event, and it's not the first time...
