On another forum Andreas is rated as no quicker than Matt Wilson.......

lol. I am fairly confident that Matty would not have finished 4th on an IRC event this season.

What crazy forum is that??

In all seriousness, that may be the case at the moment - it's impossible to judge their respective pace as they haven't been in the same machinery. The only recent comparison was at Rally GB last year where Andreas finished 6:30 behind Wilson in an S2000 (his Fabia debut). But to be honest I don't know what to make of that!!

I think 4th would be asked to much for Matt, i guess he would be fighting with Gardemeister or Sandell. Real pitty for Andreas, he seemed to be well on his way to first victory in IRC, but flowers are only given at the podium. Wonder if Neuville will try to attack Kopecky on this last stage.

Well, i guess that tree was not put there overnight, so it was laying there also in recce.

Gardemeister commented also before the rally for MTV3.fi that some of the logs and tyres were placed there by organizer for anti-cutting, and that during the recce they were only marked on the roadbook, not placed yet. That seems odd.

And really a shame for Andreas. I'd like to see him succeed for once.

Matt drove Scotland in Fiesta S2000 as zero. Of course he was just a zero but his times were possible to be measure in live TV stages and usually they were around times of Alister McRae with Proton.

I think last stage is on

Jan is trough and regarding his average speed i think he id well enough to take victory.

[pettersolberg29]

Ooooh Jan wins by 0.8s!!

[wwbroe]

What the ****, he is winning with 0.8 sec difference, what a trime by Neuville.

Wow, Belgians must start to hate Kopecký cause second time in a row he won by one second from Belgian Great effort by Thierry anyway!
