Is this the first time ever for Berkvist in a 4WD?
Yes it is. He said that the PET before Valais was his first ever 4wd experience..Quote:

Shame... Since Bouffier retired there are no competitors who are able to keep Breen's pace in this rally. Local Swiss drivers seem to be very slow...
Nice debut of bergkvist!
Hopefully Opel get serious about an R5 quite fast!
Gryazin's Skoda looking better than the factory cars in white wheels tarmac-spec. :cool:

Zero car, Magalhaes and Hirschi hit the same bridge. Jakeš stopped too...
Breen safely thru SS6 & quickest.. warned about the danger by the organisers.
Too much sideways !

Magalhaes and Hirschi have both started SS7, no sign of the 0 car though!
Magalhaes very slow though, let Bergqvist past on stage
Jakes has gone though, no sign of him
Delecour after SS7: "Bloody stage! It's mud, mud, mud. When you have a 2WD, you just have to wait and to lose time !"
They are working on the car...Quote:

Nice view, nice weather...

Now reported Delecour's right rear susp WAS damaged and team cant repair at service... hope to fix tonight. :(
Delecour after SS8: "The rear arm suspension is broken. We have to be careful. But for the moment, it's ok... :)
I'm really impressed by Delecour who resists for the 4th place overall :eek:

Bergkvist 208T16 drive at Valais is just as a prize for winning the ERC Junior Ch'ship. No news on any further R5 drives...Quote:

I am really impressed with Bergkvists speed. That guy has a future if he doesn't do something stupid!
It was quite big impact...Quote:

now Luky +4,3 from Burri
Luky, Bergvkist and also young Gryazin are doing an impressive rally!
EDIT: And I hope Breen wins - it would be a final compensation for his unlucky season.
