I've been talking to the director of operations for Rally Mexico (Gilles Spitalier) he's given my company (GPX Tours) the green light to put together package for people wanting to go. The only thing that sucks is I the only flights I could get were out of Las Vegas and they would put us in Leon an hour after the start ceremony.
WRC Rally Mexico, Feb 28th thru March 2nd it will include

Pricing for the WRC Rally trip. $995 per person includes
Round trip Air fare from Las Vegas
3 nights hotel stay (transfers to and from hotel and airport)
VIP Tickets which include the following
General Admission
Grand Stand
Rally Campus Tickets
Gift Bags

Rally Mexico pricing is based on per person in double occupancy including all taxes Package includes Roundtrip Airfare Las Vegas - Leon - Las Vegas
[font=&quot]In order for this pricing and package I have to have at least 20 people to sign up for it by end of Jan first week of Feb.
If you’re interested email or pm me or follow the link.
If I don't get enough people I'm most likely not going to do it and just get ready for the season ender in the UK.

Wow! Expensive.

At least for me it is quite pricey.

Last year I just ran into some blokes from Texas who had a rental car. All of us combined probably didn't spend anywhere near $900 in Mexico.

We just saw and great ending at Rally Sweden. JML, Mikko, and Gigi all in the top three and Ford taking a strong lead in the manufacturer's championship.

So what happens now? The first gravel rally of the year is in two weeks and I'm quite excited. I will be in Mexico and I'm anxious to see if there is a way that Loeb can be thrown off his throne.

Give me your thoughts people!

Well, one thing is for sure. Latvala got an enermous boost to his self-confidence and is probably going to attack there as well. Mikko will have to sweep the road from day one and suffers from it some bit. And Loeb is most certainly trying to put things in order again.

Others unfortunately have no chance to break this scenario unless pucntures or mechanical failures come in picture.

Loeb, Atkinson and Latvala should have a decent road position on day one, right?

Unless the road becomes so rutted that they have to back off to avoid punctures or whatever, but Mexico's not usually that rough I don't think.

[Finni]

Hirvonen will suffer in the first day and Loeb is likely leading after friday. But, we have to remember that after that Loeb is sweeping the road and Mikko has possibility to take advatnage of the road position. There might be some tactical games before sunday..
