Yep, Ligato as well.
I guess the predictions of our Argentinian fellow members were correct, except Pozzo

I'm glad to see that Petter is actually in the running for a podium finish. I haven't been a fan of rally for a long time (watched Petter on SPEED in 2005) and have been stuck on the sport ever since. Last year was crushing but this rally might be the spark for Subaru to get things back on track.

Unfortunately, the same old deal in regards to the front runners and organization. When I went to Rally Mexico there was a lot of chaos, but I think Argentina takes the cake for the most flubbed rally of the year.

WRC feels as if it's dying, in its last throes. Anyone else with me?

Damn, I'm being pessimistic. I wish all the drivers the best!

I guess you're right :p I was kind of hoping that they would show a re-run of an older Argentina rally, but I guess that's too much to ask.

Oh the rally is still on?

Lack of posts in this thread proves how people lack interest... Can't blame them, though

International Team I mean, a team with many differents culture and with diffrent people from around the world. This is the same case with Subaru now. Hope I don't upset

1st Driver : Norway
Co-driver : UK
2nd Driver : Australia
Co-driver : Belgium
Team Boss : UK
Principal Engineer : Japan
Principal Marketing : Japan
Rally Operations Director : UK
Director of Engineering : Australia
Chief Designer : France
Chief Engineer Test and Development : Belgium
Senior Rally Event Engineer : France
Car make : Japan
Tire : France
Team in WRC : UK

This is without naming the full team members!!! This plus all changes hapened in last years?

But have a look of Citroen :

1st Driver : France
Co-driver : France
Team Boss : France
Car make : France
Tire : France
Manufacturer : France
Base/Location : France

I think this can hav an impact as well n the performance of any team.

So Ferrari an Italian team, was wrong to have a German driver, French team manager, English Technical Director, English Designer etc... or Japanese Mitsubishi with Tommi from Finland and team manager from Scotland. :vader:

The best people make the best team. Doesn't matter who they are or where they come from.
