Well the gap is 6.7 seconds, is still duable for Solberg but let's see what's for who tomorrow, If it dosen't rain tomorrow Loeb might be in disadvantage.

Would it be an advantage for Petter to e 2nd on the road tomorrow?
If road gets Dry, I guess Petter will have advantage to start on 2nd position

There's still the 1.7 km super special tonight, could see +/- 1 sec there.
How many ppl wrote of Petter 2 years ago? This man is GREAT! Awesome performance against an almost unbeatable Loeb. Would Loeb make a mistake for once? Is it possible? Will Solberg take first, let's hope so.
As a Ford fan I find it a real pitty that Petter is not driving a Ford, what a strategical mistake of M-Sport!
IMO this also proves how big the difference is between the Xsara and C4 when looking what he has achieved with Xsara compared with the C4.
The Xsara was just an outdated car. But the C4 proved to be more reliable too.Quote:

I don't want to sound negative but my personal guess is that Petter tosses it to the forests of Wales tomorrow. We'll see!
Who will take the silver medal if Petter is second and JML third? :confused:
A lot of ifs and buts here, but Petter has proved himself for a long time allready... Loeb is the greatest.. Helped by a lot of things off course..
Would be really great if a underdog like Petter took it home tomorrow. Cause that is what he is!! A underdog!! ...
For those who like to watch rally commentated in Finnish (non Finn drivers comments of course in English). Saturday happenings except SSS.

Hoping that Petter beats Loeb in a clean fight, with no mistakes or technical issues. 99% chance that's not gonna happen though. It would be too incredible if Petter wins, total crazyness.
If petter wins tomorrow he can finally cut his hair! :D
If the final result:
1st Loeb
2nd Petter
3rd Latvala
and Ogier will not restart and takes points.
1. Loeb 276p
2. Latvala 171p
3. Petter 169p
4. Ogier 167p
On the 13th of November 2005, Duval won Rally Australia, and that was an unlikley win, so on November 14 2010 Petter Solberg could win. :bounce:
Less unlikely if Petter wins then Duvals win..
But, anyways.. It's not suppose to be possible to win against the big factoryteams as a privateer..
Totally different. Duval got lucky. Petter is actually a decent driver....Quote:

I think you're really underestimating the likes of Ketomaa-Mikkelsen-Hanninen. They have been setting some damn good times this year in cars which have less power, about 1/3rd torque and less sophistictated transmission than the WRCars.
I remember manfred stohl finishing 2nd in cyprus 2005, of course he had some luck and was a few minutes behind seb, but it was a great feeling to see a real privateer so close to the top. Hope petter trashes seb tomorrrow!
You guys are creating too much fuss around Mikkelsen at this time. Yeah he own the Golden Stage rally in Cyprus but who was the competition?! Al-Attiyah and Bouffier, are you serious?! Those two are great drivers but they are not on a WRC level. C'mon Al-Attiyah lost to Armindo Araújo last year and both Meeke and Hanninen were not present because if they were there, I think things would have gone differently. Mikkelsen might have the talent but he is not there yet, all this fuss around him is, in my opinon, premature.
And Ketomaa is fast aswell, but I dont see how an manufacter would invest in him at this point. It would take him 1 or 2 years to adapt to WRC machine and to get to speed, and at his age teams might scratch their nose.
Some simply stunning photos, first i've seen of a rally car on Epynt not clean and in tarmac trim lol. Watching the coverage earlier and seeing the top guys on Burmah Road on a gravel set up was simply awesome!
