Does someone knows if the FIA already gave permission to Pivato to take te co-drive seat in Duval's Ford??
I overheard a conversation between Sandell and Galli at Bjerkeracet in June, where Sandell asked Galli if he knew of any fast Lancers available for Finland I think. It seems that didn't work out, so I guess the Lancer he was asking about is the one he will be driving in NZ. The reason for this I don't know, but I thought I might of heard that the 207 wasn't available for the certain rally (Which then was Finland).

3. Itinerary V5 20-08-08.
SS2/4 Waitomo will be run as 2 stages.
So, we have stage 2.1 and 2.2 and stage 4.1 and stage 4.2 :-)
Is it related to very wet weather?
Interesting to see how WRC com shows the stage number ;-)
Dale is really nice guy who knows Rally NZ very well, if communication is good (Novikov's english) it could be to his (Novikov's) benefit ...Quote:

Weather forecast for New Zealand :
Well, at the moment it looks like the low pressure area is giving up and the weather is improving day by day. Tomorrow there will be quite a huge possibility of rain but Wednesday, Thursday and Friday should be fine weather:-)
The stages should dry up a little because the maximum temperatures during the next days will be up to 15-16 degrees. Morning stages will be quite difficult because the temperature is only up to 5-6 degrees and with hard tires :-)
For Saturday it is still difficult to call but there is a possibility of rain and cold weather. Sunday looks to fine again. In the worst scenario it will be wet and 6 degrees of warmth on Saturday morning :-)
