What happened to McRae, engine ?
Mikkelsen said on Norwegian Eurosport via mobilephone that the new Hankooks with softer sidewalls worked much better, and that they are almost on BFG level !

McRae had alternator problems.
It seems to be a lot of alternator problems for some cars, what is so hard about getting a simple thing as an alternator to work for an entire rally ?Quote:

It will be difficult for Chris now, being 38 sec behind the rallyleader Wilks.
Here are some pics from the three stages this morning, on way to service just now ;) Should be doing all three this afternoon too :D

Sorry for poor quality photos but I am doing it through my phone in car on way to service and can't see the screen as it is too sunny :cool:
Great work Jamie, good to have somebody on place to give us some info and pictures. :)
I'm excited about Mikkelsen at the moment - not only good stage times, but also consistency - he's the only one of the top boys to have no real errors. I hope he can get a podium here for his fans.
