Does anyone know what happened to K. Sohlberg?
I don't see him after SS11
Loeb again faster than Gronholm...2.2 seconds this time...lets see if Solberg has some answers
Solberg much slower....Sordo regains his position from Atko
latvala good time for SS14 6min 19 sec
loeb first, gronholm +15 8, solberg + 25 2, hirvonen +41 4, then sordo, atkinson, latvala
nothing about k. sohlberg, in radio they said he had not reach end of SS but im not sure which one :(
anyway, is not in the times when they say
Hey what happend to Peugeot, haven't hear anything about their WRC return (will there be a return?).
Where have you been for the past 3 years?!Quote:

And all in all, everything is same as allways, no real big surprises. Petter's better pace shows how useless Mikko really is compared to the absolute top names. Latvala not impressive at all, an Henning absolutely useless.
Atkinson might get up there when he gets more familiar with Prevot
mmm i think Atkinson should be careful with Latvala....

wow that guy Villagra is kicking all the other gropu N's ass
What is really amazing is that all of todays stages are run just once....yet Loeb still manages to be faster....
Have you seen an International Team winning something for long time?Quote:

I'm glad to see that Petter is actually in the running for a podium finish. I haven't been a fan of rally for a long time (watched Petter on SPEED in 2005) and have been stuck on the sport ever since. Last year was crushing but this rally might be the spark for Subaru to get things back on track.
Unfortunately, the same old deal in regards to the front runners and organization. When I went to Rally Mexico there was a lot of chaos, but I think Argentina takes the cake for the most flubbed rally of the year.
WRC feels as if it's dying, in its last throes. Anyone else with me?
Damn, I'm being pessimistic. I wish all the drivers the best!
I guess you're right :p I was kind of hoping that they would show a re-run of an older Argentina rally, but I guess that's too much to ask.Quote:

So Ferrari an Italian team, was wrong to have a German driver, French team manager, English Technical Director, English Designer etc... or Japanese Mitsubishi with Tommi from Finland and team manager from Scotland. :vader:Quote:

Have Subaru a big test before the next WRC in Sardinia? Looks like they need one :(
Its a pertinent question, but we must see that Citroën is competing it self with Citroën Sport department. Subaru and Ford have someone doing the job so, its not that strange seeing that.Quote:

Of course Peugeot would want to benefit of that "help" too! For me, its non sense saying that Citroëns advantage its because of any "help" from BF.
Will Citroën struggle with Pirelli? I don´t know, perhaps...but Ford has to change too.
Oh... Mikko(((
sordo 13m 10s 6
