Not exactly rally, but still a little bit interesting, Henning Solberg had a small comeback in rallycross today, in the new Nordic rallycross cup. All the best drivers were competing, Henning drove his self-developed Ford Fiesta - and had the best starting position after being fastest in qualifying. He took the start easily, but since another driver went into the wall on a dangerous place the race were flagged off, for a new start. Henning also took the start in the restart, but unfortunately the drive shaft broke in the first turn.
Bad luck for Henning, after a very convincing drive!

The junior Citroen team is under treat. Non of the 3 drivers is really performing well, some bad mistakes of the drivers, technical problems and mistakes from the team. But also the drivers looking of having finacial problems. Novikov is seeking for new sponsors,. even Rautenbachs money tree is looking a bit sick. Plus that the 1 man Munchi's team is performing better than them.

We honestly could end up in 2010 with just 2 Fords and 2 Citroen factory cars. Never mind 2011 when we have imaginary manufactureres in imaginary 1.6T cars will come along soon
It is worrying, and I'm not sure what should happen regarding next year. The problem is that FiA seem equally clueless.Quote:
