Just watched the second crash of Atkinson on WRC.com during stage 18. He is sooooo lucky or Citroen is veeeeery strong car. He basically went through the stonewall and got stuck on it and then (after some help by marshals and spectators) he just drove on:-) There is saying that luck is favoring the winners.. so, he has real potential to became winner :-)
There aren't that many Peugeot's in Australia. There are only a handfun of Grande Punto's and 500's in Australia as well.Quote:

Now I have your attention, please read this from the Australian Rally Ch'ship homepage.
The Nambour Showgrounds thundered to the sound of the region’s best rally stars today for the unofficial shakedown and Media day.
Red Devil Rally QLD ambassador Chris Atkinson was on hand to wish local and overseas competitors the best of luck – although he did sneak a ride with Championship leader Neal Bates.
"These S2000 cars go really well” He commented jumping out of the Red Devil s2000.

Talked to Chris briefly at Nambour Showgrounds, he misses the competition but for sure he will find a ride soon.
Hope to get more news over the weekend.

It's painful to watch drivers like Chris and Petter in sideline. It would only take one little change to the rules to get them back in competitive cars. FIA, Citroen and Ford should do contract to drive three cars per team. Then we could see Chris driving Citroen and Petter in Ford.
