2008 Rally Argentina - official thread

He is waiting for the new car. But then again he always seems to be waiting for the new car.

Latvala lost 25 sec? Spin?

Hehe, very clever. But you are looking at it in the wrong way. If there were more drivers of a similar quality then the gaps would not be so huge.

So you think the ones who can drive should retire and give space to the lousy ones.
I think its good the best are present, the gaps does not really matter at all, it just shows this rally driving is not so easy after all.

In year 1999 top 8 was separated by 23min53sec, 2000 20min35sec, 2001 10min55sec, 2002 8min49sec and so on caps have always been big in Argentina, this year is no exception.

It is the "internet-anxiety" for live through the web rally spectating!!!

I rmeber times when I had to wait for he next day newspaper to have information f previous day stage (no way I could get stage times on he same day, except for my hom rally and 1 or 2 more).

Detailed info,just the following week with specialized magazines!!!

Rally could easily recover interest if Loeb does a good second loop today.
Also Galli and th Subarus are having a fight wih Sordo right with them, and Villagra is doing better, will he keep Henning and Garde behind??
Quite a good things to follow, also PWRC could develop an interesting fight.

Where is Arai on ss3 ?

At the finish, 14mins behind Aigner on that stage, must have been some problems on the stage.

Not at all. But I would like to see some more teams who could accommodate some of the many capable drivers out there. I am really looking forward to the S2000T rules coming, which should hopefully tempt some more in.
