I agree with that, even if Loeb wins it would be good it there was only a few seconds seperating Loeb and Hirvonen going into the last stage.
amen to that! :DQuote:

great work with the maps JB :D Looking forward to visiting Hafren on the Friday :)
According to GPweek, Aaron Burkart will drive C4 WRC in Rally GB. Perhaps same kind of deal that Ogier had last year...?
Hi all
Just after a bit of advice...
got tickets for friday and sat of rally GB and was wondering what the best stages/places to watch were? Was thinking of doing Sweet Lamb, Builth Wells service and Hafren. Is this way too much? Are there really good places to see loads of the action? I've seen some great footage on youtube of Sweet Lamb.
Cheers
Yes, same as Ogier last year (although Burkart came 2nd but 1st Citroen) , JWRC prize from the Citroen Junior Programme.Quote:

Loeb, Sordo, Solberg, Novikov, Rauntenbach, Ogier and Burkart.
might be difficult, moving between the two stages.Quote:

Cool, the more WRC cars the better :DQuote:

This will be his first drive in a rally car after the accident where a 10 year old girl died after being hit by his Subaru. Andreas has had a very heavy and sad period the last couple of weeks, and noone knows how he will react when he is back behind the steeringwheel again. Hopefully it will go allright, and then possibly we will have the chance to see him in Wales also.Quote:

Ex Slovenian Champion Toma Kaučič will drive in a Subaru Impreza STi N14. He is very fast on tarmac (or better he was, because this year he didīt compete due to budget problems), but he isn't so used to gravel. We will see ... soon. ;)
Ive been looking but no luck so far :(Quote:

There should be at least Sandell and Brynildsen both with Fabia S2000. I expect more ;)
Ally come up to the Cambrian Rally the week before. Brynildsen will be there with his Fabia S2000 :D
Still no sign of entry list. It is supposed to be announced today.
I hope he recovers from it, must be very tough. I always think in these circumstances it is best to get out on the next event possible, I remember Barry Clark did this after his accident in Catalunya a few years ago. He was out in a local event here the next weekend.Quote:

Anyway Rally GB I think we are going to do Rhondda on the saturday followed by service and Rheola on the sunday.
So, 64 entries instead of 49 like initially was said.
Plus the army landrovers, so basically 70..
Has anyone got a timetable for the event as the rallygb webpage for it isnt working at the moment.
Paul Bird is missing from the entry list. I thought he would do both Spain and GB. Anybody know the reason why he's missing?Quote:
