From where you got that info? And is 20 secs time loss explained by imperfect set-up? Marcus didn't loose more even with sensor problem coupled with bad set-up..

In any case you can note that Mikko was also loosing in afternoon before his spun despite the fact that he was taking huge risks when he compelled his pace near to Marcus' level. There was only one point in the rally where Marcus performed weaker than Mikko and that was friday afternoon when the sensor problem occurred.

Btw, also autosport's article noted that in principle Grönholm and Solberg had winning pace - they didn't mention Mikko in that context.

Well... that's about it. Rally Mexico. :mark:

Congrats Sebastien and Daniel.

Mikko did good. Wonderboy did good. Young Atkinson did good. JM did good and Matthew did good :eek:

Concerning bad rally fan behavior...As me and my buddies were hiking to a spot to view a stage yesterday, we saw alot of big rocks unnaturally placed in the driving line around a corner. I didn't hesitate to kick them all off. Some of us fans do lookout. There wasn't alot of people where we were and it's not always possible to fix every idiots attempts.

I'll have a small gallery up soon.

For sure it's been a great weekend always feel alitle emty on sunday evenings, but hey not long until Rally Portugal 30 of March

good everyone should do the same

Huge amount of talent and reliability for a new milestone to remember, ever : 30th Win, Seb ! :up:

I'm overally pleased too by Dani's performance. Peanuts points for the Makes' though.

Good thing is Petter's pace & motivation but eventually spoilt again by the usual problems.

Was good to see Stars & Stripes on Scoobies, keep them Yanks coming in the sport !

Too bad a few jerks badly behaved. Amigos, vds deben de cambiar "algunas" cosas !

Now heading to Portugal, one i'm eagerly waiting for.

Will take a few rallies to get the best out of the 12B and for Petter to get his head back together after the nightmare of the S12. Isn't he being coached by an ex-ski team coach.

Yes it's Kjetil Andre Åmots (downhill skier) dad who is a sort of mental trainer for Petter. Henning also use one, the same as biatlon skier Ole Einar Bjørndalen

Haha :D I prefer to read that then read that they lay rocks on the road!:P

Has this moment been on eurosport?

No haven't seen it, it's a family show you know :D

Any pics available?

I search pics of the Munchi's team in special, other in general.

Has anyone seen a photo of Austin McHale Focus WRC from Mexico?

http://www.garethmachale.com/images/mexico07.html

Thanks PuddleJumper, but I see only photos of Gareth MacHale there. I am looking for photos of his father Austin's car, who drove a 2003 spec Focus WRC in Mexico.

Sorry, I didn't read your post properly.
