Solberg drove better and better up to 6th stage and managed to scare Hanninen. Today he was struggling and now technical problems on top of it. Listening to Quesnel he did what he was asked to do, ensured a win for Peugeot.

So a Peugeot wins the rally. But I don't think their performance is going to convince people to buy the 207. It seemed to lack the speed during the first day and compared to zero technical issues for the 4 Skodas, it had quite a few. Broken gearbox for Sarrazin, issues with throttle for Gardemeister and Solberg and now to top it off the exactly same problem that made Ogier retire last year.

All locals with same ss in French championship.Just wait for the next tarmac rally outside France.

His performance was more convincing than that of Ogier from 2009...

I think he meant he felt disappointed for Sarrazin - as in he thinks Stephane deserved 2nd but was sorry for his car problems in SS11.

207 can be fast on Canarias depending on who is driving it.

Well done to Bryan Bouffier on winning the centenary edition of the Monte, also well done to Freddy, Stephane on their podiums. Also a great drive from Delecour!!
