Atkinson is doing slower stage times than Ava and Mikkelsen. Is that good? (if the car is no problem) I remember well that Atkinson did more competitive stage times in Finland in his first year - with very marginal experience. And even last year he was very close to top-pace. Atkinson should somewhere near to Hirvonen in terms of driver speed but that dog of car don't allow it.

Aava is set to take 3rd... :eek:

Aava bloody hell.

We should start placing bets.

Ogier is young driver without experience which participates for the first time in this rally. Wilks is a very good driver with several years of experience, and his car is not identical (R3) isn't ???
