Thanks!

Citroen Racing again:

FP2 : fastest time for Seb Loeb (2'38.9). Solberg didn't make his second run yet.

Loeb is in TV-commercials because he's won eight championships. Mikko started doing the videos he uploads to his Youtube's account because he won't win any championship.

I think these videos are made by Citroen. They can be found on Citroen racing’s web page.

Thanks to all the peeps for updates and images.

I enjoy these rallies where my sleeping habits get to stay somewhat normal, heh.

Forecast says, light rain till Saturday (inclusive)..... As of now many places are muddy...

[pettersolberg29]

Are we expecting the winner of the QS to pick first on the road then I assume?

[Fide]

It will be a tricky desicion........ lets see. In other hand, the fog it will be a main actor there.... since i.e. SS2 (La Pampa - La Pampa) starts 7:28 am and I can bet will by a foggy SS

[pettersolberg29]

If so it will be quite ironic. . . the QS was meant to help the top drivers not be disadvantaged by starting first on the road, however in the last 2 rallies it seems first on the road is the place to be!
