Where have you been for the past 3 years?!

Blaah, again another Loeb dominated rally, how boring is this? But must say he is one great driver :up:

And all in all, everything is same as allways, no real big surprises. Petter's better pace shows how useless Mikko really is compared to the absolute top names. Latvala not impressive at all, an Henning absolutely useless.

Atkinson might get up there when he gets more familiar with Prevot

mmm i think Atkinson should be careful with Latvala....

French conspiration theory :D

Good post with a relevant example!!!

Renault is struggling with the new tires and this is the same case with all the team who have been on Michelin tires last year. That is why Ferrari is dominating with a little adavantage to other teams.

wow that guy Villagra is kicking all the other gropu N's ass

What is really amazing is that all of todays stages are run just once....yet Loeb still manages to be faster....
