LOEB! SPIN!
please.... :)
wonder if JML will be able to grab third place from MH?
here hoping
shouldn't petter have finished by now?
Petter was off.
+17.7 now
Petter was in the ditch for 50 m after going like mad, but then backed off to secure it.
JML is flying at the moment. :s mokin:
It shows that you can be champion without being the best driver. Pons took couple of wins in the beginning of the season, but then the season progressed it was clear that Pons is not able to beat other SWRC drivers by driving and he took only some good points and it was enough. Everyone knows that he will never be anything but one lucky champion, but all the points counts so congratulations to him...Quote:

Hopefully next year all the fast S2000 drivers would drive in the same series and then there would be no tourist drivers in the top of the points table...
and overpassed Mikko.Quote:

There are something wrong with Petter & Loebs time on this stage, they have been the fastest all weekend and now Latvala, Hirvonen and Sordo are faster?
Teamorders?
Second in the championship is not bad for a driver who after last year was kicked out of the team by the managing experts on this forum! ;)
No NO, they don´t need it anymore!Quote:

Will Petter take 2nd place in the championship if Latvala finishes 4th?
Pons is driving extremelly slow to the end of the rally, i think he will lose second place to Craig Breen, and is not far from Sandell.
This is not a good way to finish a championship for a champion who i think do not deserves this one, what a shame. He has been cruising almost all championship, and as most of you say the good drivers in S2K cars are in IRC, except Ketomaa, Sandell and Andersson maybe...
So they dosn't have to think of the 2nd hand value...Quote:

Not bad...
That´s true. Hopefully M-Sport and Ford would support some SWRC drivers, but probably they are only selling their services. Kronos and Peugeot are only concentrating on the IRC series so no hope to see some fast Peugeot drivers in the SWRC...?Quote:

He would have had more fun in IRC I guess, but Skoda want to collect data for 2012.....Quote:

no i rather think that he meant that it would be unnecessary and stupid to take too big risks.Quote:

Ford has to issue team orders to rescue them from a complete season humiliation although Latvala doesn't need them being a tad quicker than Hirvonen.
Simply stunning performance so far from Craig Breen, only his second WRC event in an S2000 car, losing 2 minutes due to a puncture on Monday and he's 12th overall, fair play!
Come On!!!!
great run all right had a good feeling before the event he'd go wellQuote:

congratulations to Loeb.
At the end of final stage for Loeb with 62nd WRC Win:
"Really tough , Petter was going really fast at the start of the rally with no mistakes and really hard battle, he was really fast it was enjoyable and really good."
Daniel Elena - "Fantastic car, very good moment in the C4, many victories and as the last victory with the C4 it was a good career. New challenge for next year and for us we have to keep the next title and it won't be easy"
