So after Ireland the constructors championship is decided, but who will take the honours for third place? Stobart is currently one point ahead.

Stobart car is faster. If the drivers stay on road Latvala drives faster then Solberg and Atkinson. Its depends on H. Solberg. What he can do.

I hope and expect Stobart do the job.

Probably Stobart because Latvala is fast and Henning can finish in the points.
The Ford is more reliable than the Subaru.

As a sidenote, I can't edit my post anymore. Does anyone think that Wilson Sr. will interfere with this points battle if the drivers title is decided? By for example letting Latvala pass Hirvonen?

i think all the Ford guys are free to drive like they want in GB now when the manutitle is their already same goes for the Stobart guys.

I think Subaru will get it, Petter's the Wales master

I'd like to see Petter have a good rally in Wales but i think Henning and Latvala will be very strong there, i wouldn't be suprised if latvala made the podium again...i hope he does anyway

Subaru or Stobart?

Well I'm not sure, I'm not 100% confident with any of them; Jari-Matti is very fast but in a stage can make a scratch and the next one can have an accident, and the Subarus... They are far from what they were, car and drivers, so if I must choose, I say Stobart.

The points of Wilson don't count for the manu title.

Until the Subaru is slow as like Focus and C4

The Subaru is the the most fragile car.

It depends how bad Subaru want it. If both teams drive at 90% then Stobart will get 3rd. If Petter and Chris go flat out then they will win. I think Petter has a better chance because he has won the event and the championship on that event so he will have the confidence. On the other hand Latvala has done British Championship in a Focus so he has alot of experieince there too.

I would put my money on Stobart but I think Petter will get some fast stages in.

Latvala and Hirvonen will be told to push as hard as possible, just in case Loeb has problems. Marcus needs to win. I think Latvala will beat Solberg, due to the car more than anything, I think the question over which team will win is whether a) Latvala can keep it on the road, and if he does b) whether Atkinson can keep it on the road, and stay ahead of Henning (if he can also keep it on the road...)

Stobart vs. former World Champion team? I think Stobart deserves it, just for the effort at least.
I don't know what it is with Prodrive, but there is something wrong, that's for sure.

Maybe they should copy this idea... :p

I don't really care which team comes third. But it would be better for Stobart to take third place because they may be able to get more sponsors for upcoming season, which potentially mean more cars. Same goes for Subaru but Subaru will continue regardless of getting new sponsor or not. And hopefully beaten by privatier will motivate Subaru bit more.

Subaru has finally succeeded in keeping Stobart behind. It was close, thanks to an outstanding Latvalla becomming a regular high points scoring driver. He has shown he is worth the second Abu Dhabi BP Castrol Ford World Rally Team Focus WRC'08.
Only question is, wil he be nominated for al 15 rounds, or will Ford hire a tarmac specialist to steal points from Citroens Tarmac Kings team.

Stobart will probarly have Mathew Wilson as second driver next to Henning Solberg. Wilson showed the last couple of rounds he has indeed some talent on board. My guess is Luis Perez Companc and Gigi Galli in one of the Munchi's Focus, and Berry Clark and Frederico Villagra in the other Munchi's Focus.

Pitty for Stobart, but the team shows a good potential for next year rallies, when it's not new for H. Solberg.

Wouldn't Luis stop or drive fewer rallies, because his work/business must be done?

Luis would do 2 or 3. So sharing the car with Galli would be perfect to have a minimum of 10 for the MT classification.
Villagra does 10 rounds? Maybe Berry Clark can do some rounds in hs car.

Wilson and Solberg or both doing all 15 rounds.

Just for right information: It is Barry and not Berry. ;)
