    In the Rally Automovil Club México, in a interview, Benito said...

    There is no car to run in México. There is a new car in the Czech Republic, but due to customs procedures, it won't arrive

    There was a lot of Fiesta WRC/S2000 fires few years back (I think from rear brakes that time) and nothing special happened about that.

    The fires of Fabias are a big problem and I am quite sure that everyone involved is well aware about that. I am also quite sure that it would be solved already if it was only about changing the fuel tank but it seems that the fire is a result of a chained mechanism which isn't easy to fix. On the other hand it doesn't appear that often. There are dozens of Fabias here in CZ and through the years I know about one burnt completely and one where the fire was extinguished successfully.

    Call me crazy if you want but my favourite is Loeb followed by Meeke and Mikkelsen.
    Yes I also thought about this. Tanak has horrible Mexico record (including the lake swim).
    Mikkelsen actually has quite bad stats in Mexico too.

    So I'd rank favorites like this:

    Group 1: Meeke (depends on confidence after Sweden), Latvala (provided car works)
    Group 2: Mikkelsen, Ogier (road position)
    Group 3: Tanak, Neuville (road position)

    Loeb is impossible to predict.

    Tanak has evolved last 2 years.That he doesnt have till now, good results at Mexico doesnt say something imho.
