News on Kristian Sohlberg: Hit a bank? on stage, damaged steering arm and upright. Changed the steering arm but the upright was so much damaged that it boke and was forced to retire. Starts super rally tomorrow if there is chance to score a point, otherwise not.

Other news from Finnish TV: Jarmo Mahonen, head of Neste rally says that they have plans to run a stage in Helsinki city center in 2008, but on stadium but on streets of the city

Gr.N (or PCWRC) is more interesting than WRC. Top three within 20secs.

I wonder why Dorossinsky in so slow. Expectec more of him, as he did well in finnish championship last year. White Sauron, do you have more on him?

It's easy. Suomen roads, especially in Karjala, are very similar to roads of russian north-west rallies, where he grew as a driver. But on such rallies like Argentina, he just has much less experience compared to other P-WRC drivers.

Hope you heard what happened to Subaru now?!

Sorry I don't want to offence anyone and I don't blame any person because of where he/she is coming from. But sometimes diversities is a big problem to handle. Ferrari is an exception to the rule.

I agree with your best example. But Ferrari is another class and you know that Ferrari has been beaten by French Team Renault in 2005 and 2006.

I still can't see anything on the WRC or Rally Argentina websites regarding Alenaz and the alleged fatal accident.
Even if they can't go into details as it's an ongoing investigation, you'd have thought there'd be some kind of acknowledgement - otherwise it seems as if the sport doesnt care - we can't get the locals to fill a stadium as it is.

Nice to see Andrew Hawkeswood & Jeff Judd quietly working their way up through the field in a (very) well used Evo VII. This is Andrew's first visit to this rally and he was one of the competitors who had his car unloaded and customs cleared something like 25 or 30 minutes prior to the rally start.

Not really the best pre-event preparation for an event such as this.

You are mostly right, but Renault F1, had an Italian manager, Spanish driver, English race team, English chassis, French engine, French tyres, Japanese sponsors :D

Maybe Subaru need to learn from these teams and sort out every thing.

Maybe they should hire Flavio :)

Won't be long before they divert all their attention to the S14. Hope that is better.

Yes, been following his progress, Carlo - good times and looking like he'll overhaul Pastrana, shortly. Is the car a GpN or in his more favoured GpA spec?

This rally, from reading 6 pages of the forum has gotten interesting.....sad to hear bout the death on road section and petter retiring/engine probs.....I was betting on him to take out the win........ going to watch day 2 now review on wrc.com and wait for the official ep to be on the net somewhere.. :)

Plus anyone know of or that there is an official championship for rallycross? (and is televised?) I'm kinda fond of it after playing that RallySport Challenge 2 on XBOX a few years back :) They have the Skoda Octavia in one championship and its a nice bug chunky car to drive!

Gp A as best I can tell as he is entered in class A8 but then as we all know yesterdays Gp A cars are no match for todays Gp N cars.

At least he will be entertaining the locals.

It is Sordo. You can see a bit of red and yellow on the air intake on the roof. And on the Eurosport coverage Sordo has driven the mornuing stages without his front bumper.

I think they made a step forward, I enjoyed watching!

Yeah I watched it also, and it was quite good, sorry for petter he seemed very upset (as always...) also atko a little bit(very) angry and yes it was sordo who lost the front bumper, good coverage I should say. Today IRC at 4.30 if anyone is interested... I going to watch it to see if the managed to improve from last time in kenia.
