Don't forget the Mosel valley - beautiful scenery and German's wine making region. I'm hoping to check out some of the vinyards between stages on Friday :)Quote:

Anyone know who that was in the R2?
Sounds like a great idea. So many places to see and not enough time ;)Quote:

It looks like Meeke has just found that Ogier is coming to Citroen

Not sure Seb would be smiling if he knew he was going to be driving the C3 though...Quote:

Promised they don't let Loeb test the car any more, will remove all his pictures from official Citroen history and arrange a ceremony crowning Ogier the one true Seb/king?Quote:

Ha, yeh!Quote:

Seriously though, it's simply unpredictable and that's brilliant.
I think this will be another weird rally where Juho is leading at the end of day 2 :p
There is some tendency over there with Ogier's chassis.Quote:

With this little experience if he manages top 5 without major retirements it will be a very good result.
Yr.no is predicting quite dry om friday, and all weekend.
I have the feeling that the Citröen's can suprise us if it's dry, and probably lost if it's wet:)

The C3s won't be on the pace in slippy conditions, that's a given now surely.
In the dry i would expect some good times from Andreas as he has had some good pace on this event in the past (3rd, 3rd and 4th in the last 3yrs), and Meeke too depending on how his confidence is. Breen could surprise a few by being among the leaders, but I reckon around 5th/6th is more likely unless there's a lot of retirements.
If it's a bit damp and slippy on friday I agree with previous comments, that we will probably see Neuville and Seb run away with it.

& Perhaps Sordo will be there among the leaders & maybe Jari will take us by surprise.Quote:

I think Kremer will be way off the pace, but I hope I'm wrong.Quote:

As much as I'd want Neuville to win and someone else than Ogier lead the championship this late to season, I still have a gut feeling that Ogier will handle this one...
Would love someone else to take the title for a change, but seeing as its not a VW walkover again, I dont mind Ogier taking the title for Msport, will show how good he really is and of course a fantastic story for a "Privateer" team.Quote:

Looking forward to the rally! Last minutes at work, driving to Germany tonight.

The team wanted to change our roof vent colour for a change of luck. I couldn't give up 'green' so the compromise was 'chrome green'

At this point last year he had 94 points, now he has 51 with a car that seems much more competitive relative others.Quote:

There is runki potential. Though, if that happens, hopefully marshalls are more polite than the last time.Quote:

So what weather for rally? Full dry on some chance of dampness or rain?
I didn't know Loeb has something to prove against Ogier, weird.Quote:
