Thing is I couldn't add much to the discussion, except possibly AAAARRRGGHHH! That's the only word to describe what it is like to support Petter, and I assume JML!

It's 90 km to service. Is it possible to restart from SS2 or only from SS9 if he doesn't reach service?

More likely? He'll be fastest on first and second split, finish the stage 30 secs behind after crash and say 'at least I had the pace at the beginning'. That annoys me!

Stupid from Petter but 18sec should not ruin his rally, probably some tactics tomorrow also.

Ths year is deffo the Privateer teams having the nicer livery......

I cant believe BP Ford hae stuck with that hideous livery again

The new Stobart livery is stunning and the black Focus of the master

also some of the S2000 cars have great liveries.

Some of the S2000 liveries are very poor - especially the Fiestas

Indeed Ste, the Ford livery is god awful. I'm curious how long the Abu Dhabi deal will run. The Fiesta S2000 'classic blue' livery from Monte Carlo was great on the other hand, and I hope the works team will use it in some sort of way next year.

The winner for me though is Gronholms livery. Reminds me of Ari Vatanen's black Escort from the 1982 British championship. :)

They said no oil was running out, pity if he has to throw in the towel after a joke stage.

Not quite sure how long is the current deal with Abu Dhabi, but you must understand their money is what keeps Fords running and to some degree the whole championship.

What comes to Grönholm's livery it's more preciously Therman's livery. It's Therman's sponsors and also the same livery more or less he used on NORF 2009.

Even if I liked Petter's last season colours the new one is good looking in an attacking way. Fine-tuned Stobart cars - both Henning's and Matthew's/Ken's - look better than last season also.

Actually Therman is propably the biggest investor in that company, other sportsmen too (NHL Hockey players).

Deal with Abu Dhabi is signed until 2012.

Not so sure about tactics this time, Ford sacrifises Latvala if needed, my guess it will be driving with "straight ankle" from tomorrow morning until sunday.

I see the top 4 this time tomorrow being JML, Sordo, Mikko, Loeb but all within about 20 secs due to tactics. Marcus and Petter will be about a minute off the lead, with Ogier close by too.

Tactics will keep a lot of people close to the lead by the end of Friday in my opinion as Loeb and Mikko may have to lose a lot of time.

You doubting Thomas. I expect that Grönholm is fighting with top guys. I also guess that Petter will not be minute off despite his 18 sec disadvantage.

But we will see who knew better very soon! :)

Petter will be fighting, just hope it'll be for podium.

Agreed... I seriously doubt Sordo will be ahead of Petter or Marcus. JML might be, but I don't think so... I expect by the end of day 1 it'll be Seb and Mikko at the top, with either Marcus or Petter (probably the latter) in third.

Very nice but is it me or does the Monster livery look more classier and at home on the Impreza.....
