Someone smart (Danel) in a another topc said that Duval is crap in gravel. I cannot wait to see Duval prove him wrong. Anyway good times in shakedown.

He did 7 runs through the stage - fastest time came on run #5. Mikko, Dani and Seb did 3 runs each, so i'd expect Duval to be fastest.

Well he needs to get comfortable with the car. I think he hasn't driven Focus much on gravel.

I certainly won't be rushing off to the bookies... but I hope they do, especially Atko.

Your two buddies were spotted trying to pick up some of our Rally Girls!!!

Your flag came in very handy at the opening ceremony. As each car drove up the start ramp, their national flag was carried in front of them by one of the rally girls. Some how the organisers had misplaced the Austrian flag, but luckily your flag was spotted in the crowd. It was used when it was Aigner's turn to drive up.

thanx a lot for this info - so I know that our guys have a very good time on the other end of the world.
Hopefully they also notice all the cars and drivers, and can escape from these wonderful rally girls ;-)

Already tons of photos from the shake-down at Motorline.cc.

http://www.motorline.cc/rallye/index.php/article=146628

PS: Duval is running with the same colours and sponsors as he did in Monte Carlo.

PPS: Sorry to say it, but I just simply cannot express how ugly I think the new Subaru WRC is. I thought I would get used to it, but everytime I see it, I just shake my head at both the design and the livery of that car. Looks like some crappy Datsun from the 70'ies

Great to see Francois back in gravel, it's been a while.. I just saw his spin at the shakedown's second run and it was quite a slow one. Hopefuly he'll do good at the stages. He got the best time on the test, but he did many runs before getting to grips with the car.

I'm looking forwar to see Subaru here. Both Petter and Chris have performed very good before (Solberg won in 2004 in a thrilling battle with Marcus and Markko). They have great thances here, not to mention the new car and their road possition tomorrow.

Hope Hirvonen can fight back Loeb and beat him here. Also, Jari-Matti has a good chance to be back on top after a dissapointing Deutschland rally.

Have a great time on the stages Dingardo, and thanks por the pics! Also thanks MikeD.

Yes, THE sponsor for Gigi Galli; Beta, is nowhere to find on the car..., indeed Structo has made the move. I think it has all to do with the nomination Duval in the official team the next 2 rounds. Duval should get the car normally also in Japan, let's hope Galli will be driving in the UK, Duval will be there for almost sure too with his privat car as we saw in Germany.

In Spain and Corsica Duval's car will have normal factory livery and JML's car has Structo stickers on.

About the livery Duval in both tarmac rounds, it's confirmed but JML's car also with Structo colors i didn't know...
Still there were other sponsor's on Duval's car in Germany and where is Beta as sponso now...
Hopefully JML will drive the Galli (Stobart) car and the privat Structo car will be driven by some other (belgium) tarmac driver in both next rounds, will be great...
Anyway, the rally has started :)
