Latvala is 0.8 sek after Hirvonen on the first split!!!
Petter Solberg - Podium number 8 with a big smile on his face:
"It has been fantastic... Yeh I know it has been a great fight, being a factory team it has been difficulty, been pushing hard and 3rd in the championship its unbelievable and for the team and it actually happen it's been a very difficult thing to happen
I haven't seen my family for the past two year so it's been really hard and good for me and say thank you very much and i love you guys and thank you for the support. I don't have a clue (where I will be next year) I do this personally competing and play the game and I have to keep the pressure on and stay in the championship and just winning this rally I have to look at the big picture and what happens with Ford and Citroen, it would have been nice, I would like to drive and have proper backing and have a chance against Loeb."
Mikko:
"Yes it's been a sad good bye, we've had good years with this car and fantastic fights and really looking forward to the future.It's a great day. We will defiantly be back again next year everyone will have a new car, everything will be new and a great fight"
where are you making this bull from please do tell me why hes been so slow,front runner in the BRC, Irish championship.Quote:

Latvalas car has damage att the back but he took the 3:e place whit the fastes stage time!
Latvala - 2nd Place in Championship:
"Yes it is incredible feeling and been dreaming of it. Honestly i have been dreaming of this. It's not a victory but my target since the beginning of the season, being in the top three is great. Mikko has been fighting and it's been a fight against him.
I couldn't imaging winning this manage because I was a number two driver but the consistency was my target and for next year i will be happy to fight for the drivers title next year."

A very fitting end of the rally and the WRC era..The best driver the sport has ever seen driving the best car the sport has ever seen....
out with the old and in with the new from 2011 ....
:up: amen to that NxOxT ;)Quote:

Awesome! JML took the championship silver medal, what a nice reward for him and Miikka after all that hard work to gain more consistency. :up:
Next year it's going to be gold medal... :s mokin:
Please don't drink and post. No way will Latvala win next year.Quote:

Congratulations to Loeb and Citroën 1-2, winning on Ford's lands is something :beer: .
Outstanding acheivement by P.Solberg taking a third position in the standings. Big congrats to him and his team. Wish him the best car for next year.
This is the end of an era and the dawn of a new beginning with serious challengers : Latvala, Solberg, Ogier, Sordo, hope Hirvonen joins in again, plus a bunch'o promissing youngsters.
New cars, newcomers... Welcome WRC 2011 !
Come on Ste. It's not Loeb's decision for the cars to be how they are. You drive what you're given.Quote:

Who is that? Ogier?Quote:

Hope they will benefit from that!! :)
Could have been gold in PWRC though... Even if silver medal is really good i can't stop thinking of what could have been if he had'nt retired in Finland...Quote:

koda won 5 out of 10 SWRC races (2x Sandell, 1x Hanninen, 1x P.G. Andersson, 1x Mikkelsen)
