2008 Neste Oil Rally Finland - official thread

4 Norwegians in top 10, not to bad.
And the youngest of them in the oldest car is the fastest :up:

Good morning all! Bad news as Latvala misses the chance of competing for top spot. I hope that Hirvo keeps the pressure to Seb and overhauls him at the end. Anyway no matter the result I hope that we'll watch a thrilling battle to the very end!

Indeed, very good performance. And only one Finn! :eek:

Good Morning boys. GO MIKKO GO!

Again a mistake from Jari-Matti, he hasn't learned from his fault last year in Finland and his other faults earlier this season it seems.

Hopefully Aava and Mikkelsen can stay on the road, Loeb and Sordo hopefully not. :p

No chance at Ford, but who knows maybe he could push Sordo out?

Hell he'd better off with a privateer Xsara, C4 or Focus than any Subaru.

I posted a thread about this and was told that Sordo was vital to Citroen's effort for marketing reasons. What a load of BS. I do hope that Citroen dump Sordo (unless he gets some amazing results on tarmac) and pick up Chris.

Sordo is good driver and I'd hate to see him go - it's not the easiest task to be Loeb's team mate. I think that the marketing aspect is an important one but compared to Loix who kept his seat for years with appalling results thanks to Marlboro money, Sordo actually is performing.

MW "every driver had that stone in the pacenotes, but not Jari-Matti. He did not sound to pleased.

JM puts too much pressure on himself which leads to mistake... he did not learn from last year and untill he sorts himself out he will cry many more times
