But I think that A.McRae isnt so good driver as Wilks...
Well, the stewards have come up with completely interesting solution. In IRC standings Koitla has the fastest time and all the others got Bollands time. In overall classifications Subaru first, Honda second, Bolland third and everybody else sharing his time. But points on IRC official site have been calculated completely wrong :-)Quote:

That's his problem..

Other than that. He's not a millionaire. His father isn't running a WRC team and he was born in the UK - 10 years too late. But obviously that all could have been avoided.
These days You must be a rich man to be in this sport.. Who didn't have money? Seb.Loeb. Who else? Meeke had Colin McRae who paid also testing in most rough place in France when he was driving corsa S1600..
No, that isn't. Current situation with driver's chances compared to years before is not mistake of drivers. They are not the ones to blame.Quote:
