I like JML, but when people set fastest times on last day, and wish they had done it sooner... I have my doubts. Fact is, Loeb won the rally on 1st stage this morning. Sub counciously.. He took less risks from there on and Ogier was resigned to 2nd.

Hanninen showed a great performance this weekend. If he hadn't slowed down after Tanak rolled he may have beaten Raikkonen, Wilson and Henning. I guess that would have been the smallest gap we have ever seen between WRCar and S2000 on a WRC Rally.

Nice to wake up in NZ this morning to read that our local car club member has dominated PWRC again. Congratulations to Hayden Paddon and John Kennard on a job well done.

The All Blacks beat the Sprinboks last night 40 - 7 so all is well in the land of the Kiwi

As far as I know Ford are committed to 2012, with Mikko and Jari-Matti. Ford are due in the autumn to make the decision whether to extend their involvement beyond 2012.
