Rally Great Britain 2009

Many congrats to Seb and the Citroen team for (once again) a job well done! An awesome drive on those Saturday stages that made the difference. Kudos to Mikko also for putting a great fight until the end. Let´s hope he comes back stronger next year!

In PWRC some great drives from Brynildsen, Nikkara and my countryman Armindo (first time in the Evo X and a lot of overheating problems but still second in Gr N in the end!)

EDIT: Just saw Brynildsen might have been excluded. Anybody know why? This means Armindo wins Gr N and Prokop wins PWRC.

ing ridiculous :(

Damn, that's a pitty for RGRS :(

Sebastien Loeb WRC Champion 2009!!! :champion:


One of the most exiting championship showdowns for many year and I think that if Hirvonen pushed like a true 'Flying Finn', he could have won the championship by 0.1 second or somthing microscopic!!! :dozey:

- Rear brake calliper piston measurement; 2x30mm and 2x36mm
- Rear brake calliper piston information from A5721-02/01KSR: 2x38mm and 2 x44mm

So, as far as I understand, caliper pistons were both 8 mm smaller. Looks like another administrative error.

Edit: I was talking about Brynildsen Škoda

I don't think that anyone else has mentioned this but we have just had out last WRC event of the decade!

Just got home after two great days of watching. The gloomy Halfway 2 on Saturday was fantastic, as was Port Talbot today - especially the second running where at least 5 cars drove past us completely ripped apart! JML was sideways like a crab all down the long straights with his mechanical probs.

Much better service park this year for fans I think. Great to see Petter come out on Friday to sign things for all the fans waiting there for hours. Ignoring N.O.T (stand for Nagging Old Twit perhaps?), I thought Petter showed good potential to be competitive next year. If he competes in every round in a C4 next year I wouldn't be suprised to see him win an event or two. Remember he had a lot of windscreen/wiper trouble, he crashed a couple of times (yes, I know that's his fault) and its the 1st muddy event in a C4 for him.

Brynildsen looked good too, shame he was excluded. Sousa's Punto sounded great. A very good weekend overall - welll worth the 6 hours either way and camping in the back of the car! The wind was ridiculous up at Port Talbot - and the rain as bad.

p.s. I know it's not good for Mikko's fans, but at least his problems meant I left Port Talbot with a bit of his bonnet!

The last one I will watch for a long time. I'm not even going to bother with the WRC until 2011 and maybe there will be something wortwhile to watch.

Brynildsen excluded from the event because of a mistake from the producer.
Loeb got only 1min penalty in Australia because of a mistake from the producer(Citroën)....

Where is the justice...??

FIA.....France.....I will not mention anymore.
