From what I heard, it must have been a great battle. Sucks that in America we don't see a thing.

From what I heard, it must have been a great battle. Sucks that in America we don't see a thing.
Got back to Buenos Aires last night.
I've now read all your comments and the first thing I want to say is:
You, who are sitting in front of your computers and yelling about splits and bad organizing wanting to delete Rally Argentina. Come here and see the millions of rally enthusiast filling every meter of the road, stage or liaison. I think you'll change your opininion very fast.
More of the rally from me will follow when I'm back home.
I bet they were very very enthusiastic while they waited cars to run on Friday stages...Quote:

I feel and know how the organisation failed, and i hurt a lot and i am sorry for those who missed stages, but in the other hand, im sure when they knew the stage was cancelled, instead of shouting and arguing about, they quickly tried to move to see other stage.
Is not easy to explain... Rally atmosphere is great here. Has own spirit.
Mauri A: I AM VERY HAPPY THAT YOU HAD A NICE STAYING HERE.
Was there any negativity towards the spectators then!?
The only ones were bashing here are the organisers and of course the FIA, which speaks for itself :p :
Well here I am.
Organizers and FIA were not clever enought to see that the Sport shuld not be risked so much because of trying to get bussiness from main city in Argentina: Buenos Aires.
Rally was also complicated by weather, May is not the best time for this rally (foggy conditions are usual), but as long as it remains in the calendar, any date is Ok for me. Today all the mountains are covered with snow.
Spectators were as usual, hundred thousands and even 1 million or more.
Rally was not as interesting as other times because of little fight, only some between Henning, Sordo and Atko.
Very interesting fight in PWRC.
Villagra (National champion) broke one wheel ending second day (or should I called it first day?) and lost his lead but gain it back.
I woul also mention Haninen: first time in Argentina, took him 2 stages to get into the rithm (those 2 were in thick fog and very tricky conditions).
He was fighting for the lead till the end and ended very close to Arai and Ligato. I even saw him spin in first pass through El Condor Copina (one of the most difficult stages in Argentina) and only loosing the stagewin for 7 seconds (as much as he lost in the spin), and he looked fast all rally long.
Pitty about Pozzo (engine stall in day 2, and 2 broken wheels).
Latvala was also a confirmation, and henning (which I do not like very much) showed very good rythm in last day.
Sordo was somehow unlucky with several problems in day 2, but amazing speed in terrible conditions in last day.
Hope interest come back to WRC in Acropolis with some fight and Solberg back to winning fight with marcus and Seb.
OMG, I just realized that I won pickems for Rally Argentina, my first win ever, :D :) I got 7 out of 8 drivers right.
Perhaps Ford can keep up with Citroen if they copy their front suspension set up as clearly illustrated here by Sordo!
