As I said before the start - the drivers knew what they were in for and to drive accordingly would bring a good result. And as said earlier, many of the problems were not to do with the rally and could happen anywhere...

This sort of event makes the WRC the challenge it should be. Driving well is not all about speed.

"Ne merde pas Kris!" - The final instruction!

Exactly.

We've had these easy cruising rallies in recent years and everyone including fans here online have come to follow a rally that isn.t difficult.... Bring on more rounds like this. It'll show the boys who win all the time and compare the men who can handle change and hold it out by controlling their drive.

Yeah yeah this rally is the best, get over. Cmon Kris brin git home now!!! will be a huge boost for him!!!

It's possible, it depends if Latvala actually fixed the issues and how much penalties he will take for having checked in 2 minutes late. I don't remeber how much it will be.
EDIT: 10 secs per minute. If he didn't fix it Evans is in the podium. Good day for british guys.

BTW Have you noticed Becsy is routing for Latvala everytime? :D

Routing?

Latvala briefly stopped and now moving 20-30 km/h

Ostberg passed Latvala 2 minutes lost

Hope Latvala doesn't get going and hold others up.

Meeke has passed Latvala in SS11 #WRC #RallyArgentina #iRally

Great rally for you british guys

So Meeke should only drop 6/8 secs to Ostberg.

Ok, Becs, Latvala has retired. Move on.

Latvala has been forced to retire from Rally Argentina's final day #WRC #RallyArgentina #iRally

So it'll (hopefully) be 1-2 for Citroen and almost no points for VW... Hilarious...

fastest vw at positions 13 & 23

Also for Hyundai this seems to be a good points haul, they'll close in on VW a lot...

Meeke has a problem? Hopefully just a bit nervy.

The good news for VW is Mikkelsen is getting stronger each Rally.

iRally ‏@Official_iRally
Meeke with a potential issue, concerned about something, no confirmation as to what this is as of yet #WRC #RallyArgentina #iRally

In how much the last stage? I want to hear British commentary for it :D Shame for Latvala though, it was a good chance to gain some points on Ogier :(

Feeling so sorry for that poor guy JML!! Only man gaining is Ogier!

Just one to go Kris! I really wish this victory goes to you....you deserve it.

What is the reason of Protasov penalty?

Late into TC I think.

190s are for late into TC and 900s are penalty from steward, but what happened?

Protasov - http://www.rallyargentina.com/wp-con...ECISION-41.pdf

So tense going into the last stage! Meeke being stopped on the road section really wasn't helping things!

Come on Kris and Paul, bring her home :D
