Grondholm on yet another flyer. Faster than Kimmi by +7.3. I expect Marcus to be quicker than the 6.29's easy.Quote:

Very poor stage section selected for LIVE footage :(
Does it not look good on telly?
Colin is rather excited!
'are you going in for a french one?'
No it doesn't. The end of the stage is very slow section but it's also in very bad condition. So, every driver just cruise to the finish... not very good PR for rally :/Quote:

Great start to the season. Well done Mikko - needed this win. Sordo and Ogier are my stars of the rally due to the low expectations people had of them. Disaster for Petter and Marcus, although at least Marcus showed glimpses of speed.
PG = excellent. Mikkelsen also very impressive. Good rally overall - look forward to Mexico now where the results should be very different.
Mikko much slower than Latvala through 3 consecutive splits. Is Mikko just not trying too hard knowing he has 1st place overall in the bag?
I was thinking fights for a win --- otherwise I'd pick Rovanpera vs McRae in Finland 2000 I think... That was good on telly though it was so short part of the stage they followed...Quote:

Yes !!! :hot:
Congrats Mikko and Jarmo !!! Great start :D
Welcome captain obvious.....Quote:

Fantastic start to the 2010 season!
Well done Mikko and Jarmo! Hope this is one of many for the season to come!
star of the rally and a beacon of hope for the human race is of course the kimmi kid.
You think Red Bull can sponsor my country to get us out of the current situation if i become the No1 fan of this kimmi kid ???
Geerrinnnn! Congratulations Mikko. Also to Latvala on winning the stage. I feared Mexico but it seems Mikko is good on gravel too.
Mikko won Loeb with Loieb's own weapons :up:
Mr.Mousefart is right though.... Sweden and Finland are THE rallies Mikko must win. Every other win is going to be pure bonus....
Sordo was very scary.... :up:
And unfortunately I think it's all over for Petter... :mark:
Good for Mikko. Winning this rally is a very important case for him. :up:
Maybe you could become a cheer leader for Kimi? Skirt and pompoms provided free of course... ;)Quote:

Usually he is worse. Mr.Mousefart gets crumpier when he hasn't seen his grilfriend for a while. But the thing he doesn't understand is that those sheeps must pasture every now and then :DQuote:

Absolutely great time for Andreas Mikkelsen on the last stage, finishing only 25 seconds behind PG Andersson. Of course PG has had comfortable lead and could secure his victory, but Andreas has delivered a couple of really amazing stages the last couple of days. After day 1 he was 1 min. 12 seconds behind PG. At the finish it is only 25 seconds.
Mind you, I am rating PG very highly, but regrettably it seems very difficult for him to get a proper chance. Not so with Andreas. He is a world champion in the making!
Ott Tänak stopped in stage.
Where can i find stage times for Swedish championship?
I need Ramona Karlsoon stage times?
I´d like to see the grin on Wilson Sr´s face.
Also big thanks to John for the excellent result and driver´s comments service!
Been a fantastic 1st WRC for me like.
