PG had his big chance. And he blew it! He can't keep the car on the road, something that is important. If Flodin can do a decent result i reckon his chances of more Wrc drives are bigger than PG's.

It may not be entirely fair to say P-G blow it.Without a puncture (he didnt`t hit anything) and problem with the powersteering I think he had grabbed a place on the podium. But I think that PG will have a much harder task in Sardinia. A place in the top six here is going to be difficult.
Novikov`s mexican Ford Fiesta RS WRC was re-registered. From "PX60 AVN" to "RU55 ALM" :)
He crashed again today...Quote:

P-G drives now and then and has some really long times without driving, it effects for sure.Quote:

It's still having a rally rhythm eventhough the car is slow. Duval with the RACB Xsara had only 1 rally done in that year and was a retirement in Acropolis with that Fabia and even with that he ended second and had many scratches there! It's true he knows the car, but even without that Duval would be really fast he doesn't need much time to adapt to a new car.Quote:

The Fiestas won 11 of the 18 stages...some luck or better true performance here?
next win in finland, then tears until the end.....get used to it.
Latvala will win three following events and Hirvonen 2nd at least two times... (in my dreams :-)Quote:

why are you so obsessed with the M-sport team ?? You work for them ? you have relatives in them ? because i find it strange for someone to be so obsessed with a team especially in rallying...you remind me of football fans where they care for none else apart from their team.....This is not an ironic post so please answer seriously i am really interested to see what drives your passion.

Gotta love Bobcat's monologues. :)

You've got to love even more, the fact that Ford seem to be paying some guy money to post on a forum rather than spending it on their actual campaign.Quote:

can you please answer me (post797) bobcat?
This sort of advertising is common these days though. He is either massively obsessed as you say, or he works for M-Sport and so far he hasn't denied working for M-Sport.....Quote:

Are you sure about this? Where did you read it? I've got some interest on this, because I have to update my website (http://www.italianwrc.com/fiestahistory/index.htm).Quote:
