Actually i did'nt even know that. So Flodin has been driving for points in one more round than Araujo? Is so i suppose that there is nothing to blame it on! =)

the lack of norwegian comments after the end of the rally is disturbing...are you guys ok up there ??

I'm alive and kicking ;)

A great rally, with an intense battle between Seb and Petter for 2 days. A bit of a anti-climax today seen with norwegian eyes, but again a very, very good result from Petter. A truly fantastic 3rd overall for a private team with perhaps 1/10th of the resources that Citroen factory drivers has. I vividly remember all the forumers calling Petter a has-been, too old, have lost it etc.

And with Mikkelsen wiping the floor with all the rest in Swrc, it was a pretty good weekend for us.

I also might end up on the podium in Pickems, then it will be even better :)

Had a great rally weekend - weather on Saturday was amazing for a November in Wales. Went to Halfway and Crychan on Saturday and Resolfen on Sunday. Very good atmosphere around the stages and service park. Petter and Loeb were noticeably quicker throughout - there was an audible gasp when they came past the huts at Dixies! Very good weekend topped off by a 2nd place for Petter and a win for Andreas.
Here are some lame attempts at photos from my new camera - unfortunately not set-up for motorsport photography!

Could've been bronze if Paddon's car hadn't let him down so often. Got a lot to answer for that word ... if !

No.. He scored in the same number of events, but he only confirmed his PWRC entry after Sweden, and choosing Sweden as a nominated points event, where he won!!

Yeah and as a swede i find it hard do not think about that if. :) But to be fair of course Araujo is the well deserved winner, im not saying anything else!

I was actually working yesterday, commentating on both Formula 1 and WRC TV-programmes and I really enjoyed both. Two Sebs winning in style, a very decent and deserved result from Petter Solberg and an extremely impressive performance by Andreas Mikkelsen.

Has anybody some high res. pics of car #70? Ford Fiesta S2000, driver Giuseppe Dettori

And was is the reg. plate of Ford Focus of Peter Stephenson, car #66. Was it A4 BLE?

Thnx in advance.
