MICHEL FERRY

Mikko could take 3rd after Petters problems ??

Hivonen 2.9sec better than Loeb.

But is that the biggest mistake?
Regardez:
FIA president Jean Todt, a firm advocate of longer rallies, said the length of events needed further debate.

"The Monte Carlo Historic Rally has 320 entries," said Todt. "It starts in two weeks and still with the concentration part. Last year, some started from Marrakech, some from Stockholm and if you speak with some people they say it was outstanding to have this concentration [run to the actual start of the event] which was lasting two, three or four days.

"And now if we have the [WRC] rally which is lasting more than three days then some people complain. We have to figure out which is the best option. We will move in the best direction, but we will do this by allowing each rally to have its own soul."

A little emphasis for the points seemingly lost..
80 something cars vs 320.....which do you think is a bigger event?

He's been in the top 5 in every stage since SS7, with a few 3rd fastest times. Really impressed by him.

Is the WRC ponts system same as last year including the power stage?
