Thus, the Stewards decided to exclude car No.57 from the event.
Bad news. but at least he will be very happy the way the competition went. second place by the end of event :-)
again a top run car? :confused:
Fourth place for Aava is awesome!! :up: Watch out for him in the future! :D
Yep. Top run again!Quote:

Stunning drive from Loeb as expected, used his head, also Petter, hope this is a return to the 03/04 Petter, these 2 really showed their experience, just as many others showed their lack.
Regarding times, remember lots of the fastest stage times were taken by super rally guys with no position to lose, or people who had lost lots of time earlier, why should Petter have pushed for stage wins when he had a great result to collect?
Rally fans make me laugh sometimes. One swallow does not a summer make!
Subaru still have a lot of development on this car to make it truely competitive.
You are right, but it was nice to see Petter drive well. Loeb drove well, saved his car, and won the Rally. The mark of a champion. Likewise Petter drove well, saved his car, and came 2nd. With the old car that would not have happened, as he would not have bothered. This drive will have his head back in the right place.Quote:

Good result:
Citroen, Subaru, Ford
You are very right! Sordo´s problems were his own fault. I saw footages of his tyres after the long stage. He was in the lead and got over exited. He was thinking that he can put a lot of time between him and Loeb and maybe he has a chance to win a rally. But he underestimated the tyrewear with such a warm weather and with clean road. On the other had Jari got the suspension damage because he was bit too wide and turbo problems.. just happens with him.. probably he is not very gentle with his car :-) So, Petters pace was very good. The fact that he was slow during the last day was caused by the road sweeping. Atko set some very good times while starting on the clean road.Quote:

Actually, after the first stage on day 3, none other than Hirvonen of the top boys were risking anything, clearly seen on the results and visually.Quote:
