Somebody forgot tell to PG, that he cannot be faster than regular manufacturer drivers :D
Does PG know that his Fabia should be equipped with 2l engine with turbo restrictor instead of a rockets?Quote:

This is really really surprising. And awesome too. PG seems to steal the show. Great to see new face making best times. Does anyone know how old his Fabia is? And who is taking care of service etc?
Well done PG!!
Do you guys want this thread closed too?Quote:

I feel a little bit sad about this. This car turns out to have been a very good car, just a very big pity that it was in the wrong hands in it's years...Quote:

You better agree with me that Fabia looks great or else will be having a dozen Rally Norway threads by the end of the day :)Quote:

Yes, we saw it in Japan 2005 and in Australia in the same year in the hands of Colin McRae. I have heard that schwartz always wanted the car to be very hard in the suspension, is that true? he had a very big influence on the Skoda team`and that maybe is an explination about why it is so fast when drivers who wants a softer setup drives it..?Quote:

But Latvala might get the gap in 10 sec to Loeb today...
J.Lindstroem: That's what people say...
Incredible fight between Mikkelsen and Sandell!
very interesting start of the rally.....Hope PG gets the attention he deserves by the teams...
Excellent job Mikko :)
9:11,8 the time for Loeb. He made 8:59,2 in the first run, shouldnt the times be faster on the second run through?
Seems that Ogier has problems +30 s in second split
Not necessarily, if the road surface is grinded to a soft pulp, it's much slower than hard icy surface on 1st run.Quote:

Will Loeb want to let Mikko 1st into tomorrows stages? Or will Mikko want to do the same for Seb?
To be honest I didn't expect him to be faster!But,keep an eye to PG! ;)Quote:
