Some free wine was being handed out with the media passes - perhaps this is being sampled before the event ;)Quote:

Lets just say my pickems are based on the speculation that the Subaru is much better in tarmac spec!

well.. I am the first one during this rally:-) so, here is the question: any news about shakedown times?
I was looking my weather models and it looks that there is high possibility of rain overnight and little bit lower possibility in the morning and almost no possibility in the afternoon :-) So, we are going to see damp or wet roads in the morning and dry roads in the afternoon. Saturday seems to fine and almost no possibility of rain. Sunday is still quite unsure.. at the moment it looks like that rain just misses the Saarland region but this forecast will be more clear by tomorrow!
Temperature forecast is little bit better than it was a few days ago. But Friday it will be nearly 20 degrees, Friday night it will be as cold as 9-10 degrees only. and on saturday it will be 17-19 degrees highest. On Sunday it will be near to the 20 again.
So, it looks like this year we are going to see dry and cold Baumholder stages:-)
Any news from Shakedown??
I think Mikkelsen will be fast on this rally as its forst time with a 07 Focus :) !
Duval will be fastest Focus... :) !
He wasn't in Monte, he won't there neither. The only reason he was so fast last year is that he was driving the car he'd got used to. But this time will be only his 2nd outing in the Focus. The highest placed Ford will depend on how Mikko will feel on tarmac.Quote:
