Hopefully he can continue. I want to see how his pace developes. Last year it took one and a half rallies to Duval to really find groove with Focus in dry asphalt. This years Ireland has been most difficult condition to get used to with the new car.

It wcould be the last rally we ever see Aktinson. He is totally out of his depth in this car.
On WRC.com you can see Atkinson's crash, and he crashed hard, but was reallyyy lucky!
This has been a rally that is very very difficult indeed - no matter how good your notes or talent. Apart from the off and the bonnet incident - his times have been actually very good (for a brand new car on wet asphalt) - pretty consistent Top 4, and now today Top 3 times. He certainly seems to be ahead of Oiger in stage pace. I really hope he has more chances in this car, as there is no doubt about his pace/talent - just needs a good rally to put it all together...
are you joking? Indeed, normally fourth or fifth would be a great result, but he's 6 minutes!! behind after just 9SS.. You don't get there in a healthy championship/rally with his pace
He had a crash dude...... AND his bonnet flew up.Quote:

pretty easy to look at the leader board and make judgements... how about you have a bit of a look at all the individual stage times to see how that margin was established, and see how he has been very much on the pace for a great deal of the rally.Quote:
