No Moaning Mads here !
Morning loop @rallyargentina done. We're happy to lead the #WRC2PRO category, and we're also the fastest #R5. We're enjoying it so far.

After Rajd Swidnicki somebody stole Fiesta R5 of Jaroslaw Koltun. It's chassis No. 77, registration plate TK 8955L.
It appears that around midnight somebody came with an old Opel Vectra C and stole the trailer with the car inside (possibly not even knowing about it). More info in Polish is here: https://www.facebook.com/WRCNewsOffi...type=3&theater
