    I heard someone say Group B - may I join the conversation now it has moved off football.

    Hopefully Finns can either confirm or correct me.

    Really sorry to bring up circuit racing again, but I just tuned in to Le Mans and the first voice I hear commentating is Karun Chandhok. OK, I could see that. Then Karun stops talking and whose unmistakable voice do I hear? Why none other than Julian Porter.

    What's that fella doing over there? Making a living or something?

    Doing something in the long, long rally pause.

    He's been doing the official WEC Le Mans coverage for a few years - and why not? And there is no need to apologise for mentioning Le Mans....It's THE big one of the whole year.

    Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

    Kubica was very fast in a WRC car on tarmac too, but not very consistent.

    Quite a difference between WRC and F1 though really - WRC drivers are chasing seconds or tenths of seconds on real roads in all sorts of constantly changing conditions, F1 drivers are chasing hundredths of seconds around the same few smoothly surfaced corners over and over again in much more controlled circumstances.
