    I'd be interested to learn the details of how Gill threw away the rally win and this year's title, too. IIRC, he had a 20sec lead, was running behind his rival on the road and was midway through the 2nd running of the stage! One report says he 'understeered off on a right curve' ?????

    I was impressed with Gill's speed this year but Kopecky knows how to win rallies and titles..

    Would be interesting to see Gill on an ERC round or two.

    IMHO I donīt think Gill is somehow superfast. He would be beaten by all european top drivers good on gravel (talking about Kajto , Breen etc.). It is very difficult when you donīt have the quality and you have to risk all the time. (see onboards from Gillīs various offs during the season) On other hand Kopecky did it clever , shame on Lappi he didnīt use same tactics last year instead of trying to beat Gill on every single stage...but Lappi is young, so small excuse for him. Now we will see how clever Lappi could be in ERC when both rivals are slower on tarmac plus he has more points.
    Visit South Moravia. It is the real paradise

    Yes Gill is really fast. I would like to see him one with a WRC in Rally Australia, or doing so ERC round. He could really improve popularity of rally in India.
