Will be interesting to see what sort of improvement Subaru get with softer tyres. According to WRC.com they started on hards.

Final results SS4: Latvala is 4.5 sec faster than Atkinson - which means that overall Atkinson is only 0.3 sec in front of JML

Atkinson must have made a mistake or had a problem

No splits either for the people at WRR. Not really impressive, since we write the year 2008!

Tommorow Dudu could be almost as fast as Seb is, but the difference tends to be unbeatable...

That's the price to pay when starting in the back of the pack and not competing in the whole championship though...

Typical WRR. They get the splits back are they only give the times for Van Eldik and Al Crapsimi. A time for Duval would be nice?!?!?!?!?

Nothing, just curious as they are "capital destination" and official partner but do not feature very high on my holiday destinations list. Not that I wouldn't mind going there but... is it worth it? what's there to see? to do? to avoid?

Thanks for the splits.

Regarding Abu Dhabi, then they will be the first to have a completely non-poluting city. Everything in the city will be solar power and wind mill power. It's not as spectacular as Dubai, but overall I am not keen on those two places. Too much "Nouvo Riche" and almost no history or cultur (IMHO).

It is just one hour driv (or a little more) from Dubai. A long straigt highway throught the dessert, all sorrouended by incipient artificially irrigated planted trees (they say it could take decades or them to grow some centimeters).
Nice city (very hot both tiems I ve been there).
But nohing special.
Dubai is much worth, plenty af places, complexes, etc.

Anyway, I have been there in 2001 and 2003, prior to the over 100 dollars petrol price. They must have don plenty of thingswith a massive flow of money..................
