Just wonder if Henning Solberg’s RX Fiesta is ready yet and it was its first outing or if Solberg and Gigi Galli were driving the two RX Fiestas (1 for Eriksson and 1 for Grönholm) of Andréas Eriksson…

They drove the Eriksson cars, Gigi drove the Marcus Gronholm car with a big Finnish flag on the roof. At least Henning made sure Eriksson had some work to do on the car afterwards :)
Gronholm should test the car Tuesday from what I heard.

Henning won the rallycross final in front of Gigi, and Mikkelsen won rally final in front of Grøndal. In the super final Andreas won easy over Henning (rally tires had much more grip on the wet and muddy track).

So, like I expected already, Hennings own RX Fiesta is not ready yet? Some work to do due to his barrel crash or did Henning feel Erikssons car should be further developed? Any idea if the Tuesday test will be at Höljes?

Apart from the Rally tires advantage it was Hennings first ever outing in the RX car, AFAIK. And I guess that, due to the bad weather and track circumstances, the Rally car with 350+bhp was easier to drive than the 550+bhp Rallycross car…

BTW, did not see anything yet about the announced Isachsen, Bermingrud, Lindefjell and Sachweh. Did they not show up?

I thought Henning drove "his" car, but I may be wrong. At least one of the RC cars had blown to many engines and could'nt attend

On the rear of the roof of the Fiesta that Henning drove there is a Swedish flag visible on one of the pics, quite an evidence that it is Andréas Erikssons car.

While proudly showing off his new apartment to friends, a college student led the way into the den. "What is the big brass gong and hammer for?" one of his friends asked. "That is the talking clock," the man replied. "How's it work?""Watch," the man said and proceeded to give the gong an ear shattering pound with the hammer. Suddenly, someone screamed from the other side of the wall,.WoW gold (http://www.gogoer.com), "Knock it off, you idiot! It's two o'clock in the morning!" ..World Of Warcraft gold is WoW gold (http://www.gogoer.com).

A Man of Actions　　A crowd of student was gathered on the campus of Oxford University.“You can have no doubt,”shouted a young man excitedly,“that if the Dean does not take back what he said to me this morning, I'll leave Oxford this very evening！”　　A buzzing noise followed.“What a man of actions！”one said in admiration.“How should we support him and learn from him！”said another.　　Suddenly, a girl asked,“What did the Dean say to you, Hob?”　　He bent and whispered to her,“Well,he told me to get clean away from Oxford this very evening！..World Of Warcraft gold is WoW gold (http://www.gogoer.com),”

Very good video, saw it late last night. The Rallycross Fiesta's were exciting to watch. I know it was Mikkelsen who "won" in a WRC car but the unrestricted power of the Fiesta's show us what we are missing from overgripped / underpowered WRC cars.
