I suppose Mikko was glad when he was told today he could push.

Sordo is faster than him on that split...

I don't quite understand why is Sordo pushing so hard?..

Collecting stage wins, I suppose.

will it change anything? Doubt... Otherwise it's just a stupid risk...

Petter needs mega time if he aims to beat Jari-Matti.

Petter slower! JML does it!

looks like Petter's not doing it

Bettega pushed hard also !! I hope Dani Sola will be able to stay ahead on 10th overall :mark:

That would be a huge result for an S2000 :D

Anyway it's good for Subaru, two cars on top 6...

damn i would rather see peter 4th

well done j-m :)

Me dont, J-M did a very good driving the whole weekend, this rally will give him a lot of confidence for the remaning events.

Sebastien: "I'm really happy for Citroen and for myself... " "I can not do better..."

Might even help him to get a proper seat for years to come.

That too offcourse :) , also pity he dont get any testing with stobart.

Prokop wins ahead of Béreš and Bonato, nice JRC results for us :)

Good result for keeping the championship alive & close :)
Congratulations to P-G, 2007 JRC Champion :)
Also First Group N win for a S2000 on a WRC event :) Well done Dani Sola :)
Anyone know the points standings for the C2 Junior Experiece? If Shaun Gallagher is still leading after today, he gets a 'free' event courtesy of Citroen.. :D

Dani Sola 10th overall as final results !!!! Outstanding great !!!! :bounce: :bounce: :up:


If only he changed his Honda Civic for that 207 for the remaining IRC events(and IRC08)... :D

I agree 100%. Knowing splits can be distraction

Isn't J-M favourite to replace Marcus at Ford ?

We also have to remerber that J-M has only allowed to test a couple days in the whole year! That's same as Marcus and Mikko have tested before every rally.

Just called J-M´father to concratulate, and he told that Malcolm had promised "extra bonus" to J-M if he can keep Petter behind. We both hoped that the bonus would be testing. For the 1000 Lakes, as I still call it. the suspension settings were made at the restaurant table!

I am so glad my fears ahead of this rally turned out so wrong. Bosse has still all the possibilities of regaining the title..
This rally also made me glad in some other perpectivs, in contradiction of what I expected:
- Petter is on a rise!
- JM Latvala is once again showing that he will be one of the big guys in the future.

Can´t wait til Japan. Luckily it´s just two hours til the swedish tv-coverage from Corse... :)

Glad, that:

Bosse is still leading with one Point :bounce:

P-G´s JRC-Champ and :champion:

Eki just became DTM-Champ :champion:

I think so... I thought he would slow down, like Marcus and Seb.

Congratulations to Dani Solà for his impressing 10th position.

Three spaniards in the top ten!!! That´s a pity any of them could fight for the win...

The end of the season will be really exciting, we will miss Marcus.
