Nice lookin' car this polo.
Today Ogier was just waiting for the long El Chocolate stage, he twice made the difference there... And Hirvonen disappointing again.
Ivory Coast '92 was the last WRC event without a WRC Champion on the entry list. After almost a leg of Mexico '13, due to the great pace of the Polo on gravel, we know that we will have two WRC Champions in Alsace on October. There, after the Argentinian warm-up, we'll see the fight that we won't see this season. WRC 2013 could have been one of the greatest battles ever.
He is that good.Quote:

2. Latvala. Everyone make their own luck. Am I correct when saying that longer suspension travel makes it more fragile and more sensitive to such accidents like Latvala had today?
3. Sordo-s times. Does that mean that Mini is actually even better car than we could imagine?
4. Hirvonen. Hirrrvoonnneennn.. ???!!!????!!! no comments
5. Latvala is officially nr 1 driver in VW, so,even if he continues to crash in every second rally then VW cannot do anything. It is not allowed to change your nr 1 driver during the seaon (only in case of Force Majore). So, fight for manu title should be interesting!
6. we have to keep in mind that Mexico is specific event.Remember Solberg winning 10 stages in Mexico in one year? and nothing special over the reminder of the year?
7. Nasser is good on such events.
8. Weaher forecast: you have probably noticed that I have not written any weather forecast for Mexico.. well.. there is really nothing to say. Each day is nearly copy paste from the previous day. Mostly sunny, with high clouds morning temperatures around +10..+12, noon temperatures at around +25..+26. Some wind all the time (Except first stage today in the morning).
Yes, he is excellent but the Polo is clearly also no slouch.Quote:

After today looks like Ogier is not pushing himself too much, not like Sweden.Quote:

A good piece of history there, I often wondered about that.Quote:
