Good advertising for the struggling WRC.
Some interesting battles in WRC as well as in PWRC.

I fully agree, there has been much more to watch this weekend than in Ireland (also thanks to PWRC).
Let´s hope it continues this way at least!

Thank you very much! It also seems he drove with a different co-driver Jouko Puhakka.

Yes guys Ireland was boring after the first stage when Latvala went off, Tarmac is no longer competitive for the top position. the WRC is going to be dominated by Sebastien Loeb this year and he may well set a record for winning every WRC round in 2009.

Some pictures

Link to my photo page, 3 pictures from SS5 Kongsvinger, Petter Solberg and Van Merksteijn Jr. and Sr. - especially the last one is pretty up close, taken with 50 mm, not cropped at all. I don't know where the Marshals were ;)

I have many more pictures aswell, but there's a limit on uploading one picture a day, will probably put out more, though. Any wishes? Unfortunately mostly WRC cars.

There is also a few pictures from Rally Norway 2007 there, hit the scrolldown on "Kategori", choose "Motorsport" and then click "Vis" on the right. For Petter Solberg fans, there's a pretty cool picture of the Impreza in the beginning dawn, with glowing break discs. Take it from me, I'm the photographer. ;)

If you read the context, yes it was a joke, but it would have been very good to have Gigi back, and he would fit perfect in a Fabia !

Yes, winning a couple of stages and then retire for clutch problems, very good ^^ like going back to 2005 (unreliable car)...

The video and the pictures of this rally are online at my site!
It was a great rally to visit, it was quit cold (-24 at the shakedown), but with good clothing it was okay. Saw the cars at 10 stages and the shakedown, so that is really a lot for a WRC Rally.

Good stuff Jay, hope you enjoyed yourself. Did you think it was better than Sweden last year? (the conditions I mean) :)

You really don`t recognize the greatness in this story when PG took on allcomers in the Fabia, do you?

Who the f... cares about his retirement and wether the car was unreliable or not! So what? PG and the Fabia made more or less a laughing stock of the "establishment" in WRC during two proper and demanding stages in Rally Norway. Isn`t that enough in itself?

Agreed :up: PG showed great skill and that on certain events the driver is more important than the car (within reason of course) at least in terms of stagetimes.

Very nice pictures Benjamin! Are you the guy with the 2 Nikon cameras? You talked to my brother at the shakedown, he was filming at the jump and we've seen you a couple times after that ;)

Misunderstanding Mr. Iskald. I was amazed by the story too (unlike some others) and I'm a total fan of PG.

What I meant is that Gigi doesn't need to drive in small and/or private teams praying that the car doesn't fall into pieces. He has already show what he is capable of. He needs a works seat (yes it's a dream and it's quite far but... you take my point now).

Back in 2005 he made the same PG accomplishment: he made the best performance ever IMHO. Look at his teammate in Mitsu and look at his times in Day 1.
In Day 2 and 3 the car had problems of all kind, and he lost an helluva of time :\ could even get a podium place instead of a 7th

Sulland

But Gigi need a drive.

Might be easier in IRC than WRC these days. But he is a driver that uses the cars he drives to the maximum, so he need one that will last...
