Wales Rally GB 2010

Enjoyed day 1, - apart from the top Loeb, Petter, JML and Ogier - the ones that really impressed were Mikkelsen, Brynildsen and Ketoma - and beleive it or not that is without checking S2000's stage times.

What is Hirvoslows excuse for this totally useless performance?

Why does he still have a place in the Ford team I cant understand

At least JML was trying

Peter Stephenson is a "mature" businessman driver, rallies just for relaxation and fun. He is the Executive Chairman of Able UK, which is a ship dismantler on Teesside

Though... If he wants, he could now start an unimaginable attack because it's pretty much the same does he recover or crash. Knowing JML... ;)

With current tyres, puncture rarely bad luck but error by driver. Like cutting too much

Not a very good day for you finns, eh? Latvala off (and believe me I am not gloating about that), and your "new" star Ketomaa absolutely being trashed by 10 year younger Andreas Mikkelsen. 32 seconds now... Only consolation is that Brynildsen is now ahead of Pons, by quite a safe margin actually. If it stays like this Ketomaa will get the title even if Mikkelsen is miles ahead.

Yes, Mikkelsen has not a championship to be won or lost. So he can just try I impress one time. Let's talk when he is driving for a championship (other than Norwegian :) )

Basically Ketomaa has to win in Wales to win the championship. Unless Brynildsen help him out. so he has all to win and cannot settle for second

Amazing 1986 RAC Doc on Motors TV right now!!

Good to see Craig Breen and Jaffa going well, considering the lost 2 minutes in Myherin with a puncture ;) , Mikkelsen is in a class of his own though.

Hope Petter wins, he deserves it, unless it could be the scene of a stunning fightback from Dong......
