Rally d'Italia-Sardegna

[Donney]

Is a WRC rally exciting nowadays ?

Not as much as we would like but pretty good nevertheless.

Usually we have shakedown news right away... but now... nothing at all hmm what is happening..

Well, the Jordan Rally got me all pumped up and I didn't even know who anyone was cept for maybe 3-4-5 drivers and the fact WRR were there! Here..... wat's going on?

[Jaanus]

Just been checking entry list.
I thought Galli was out of WRC, no funds, he is listed on there as is Duval
Also Gardemeister and Hanninen driving Mitsi WRC.
Anyone able to confirm all or any of these are driving ?

Just makes a change from following the Loeb procession to see something other than Cits, Fords or Subs.
C'mon Garde, give them all a scare

I can confirm Carlsson, Galli and Duval will not start the rally, others like Gardemeister and Hänninen will start.

Thanks Rajle.
I didn't know Carlsson was still there. Sordo and Hirvonen are already showing a strong pace. Interesting.
