Happy. But if you as a driver do sign up, and misses rallies - you lose everything as PG ?

No Henning didn't. Henning was not registered and neither the team he was driving. Practically there are three possibilities to collect points:
1. The team you are driving is registered (e.g. Czech Ford National team) and they have nominated you for their pre-season nominated rally.
2. You are registered driver and collecting points just for yourself.
3. As a Wild Card entry like Andersson was in Sweden

So, if your team does minimum required events but you are not, you still can keep your points. If you are registered just as a driver and miss one event then you are automatically excluded. So, basically one dealer team can do all nominated rallies with different drivers. PG was excluded, because his team missed one nominated rally. PG itself was not registered.

There are two other WRCars driven by Privateers... Hope we can see some pics?

Also hope someone has captured that Skoda Felicia car who runs last :) :) :)

OK, but still cool that Ford gets points from a Skoda ! :p :

At least Dong was faster than Peter Stephenson (till SS6), who probably drives an older spec Focus, but has more experience from this event!

If my team doesn't compete in all the rounds that it should, then yes, I lose everything! I hope to sign up next year. :p

Should a good battle tomorrow and yes, would be interesting to see Latvala go for it tomorrow and Sunday but as usual with the guy, no guarantee of a finish.

I see Wilson has lost over 1.5 sec per km today. Not good.
