He's is 28 sec faster on ss4 than ss1, so not so bad for his first wrc outing. Let's see the othetr stages from the second loop and how he will manege the second and third day. Give him some credit!

16 seconds now the difference between Hanninen and Tanak.

Weisj prooves he was a good choice for a VW skoda...lets hope the support continues.

another interesting fact is that last year moseland stage was exactly the same as this year...

2010 time 12:06 LOEB
2011 time 12:15 LOEB

so all these guys who say that this years wrc are equal faster crawl back to your caves....

9 secs in 19 kms...0.5 slower/km after 7 events mind you....

Next year they are going to be equal which is good.

I tried to resist but I'm gonna have to bite! Firstly, Petter is within 20s of the lead Mini despite losing around 25s in an incident on SS2 - how does this constitute an 'easy win'? Secondly, you know as well as anyone that Solberg is simply not this slow a driver and surely you'll finally admit that being a privateer nowadays gets you nowhere, and it contrasts massively with the factory support Sordo and Meeke get from BMW?

Despite that, the Mini obviously has a bit of potential and hopefully it will be ready to challenge regularly by next season.

You can't compare him to official mini's. Sordo has 5 seasons in WRC already, driving the Xsara and the C4. Meeke had driven wrc cars in wrc rounds before and has a lot of experience in s2000 car as a IRC champion. Campana on the other hand is 2wd champion and if I'm not mistaken this year rally Corsica was his first in s2000 car.

Seems that Hirvonens issues are fixed....now we can see the real pace of the minis.
