A shame he was not on the pace right away. Imagine how fun the battle for 3rd could have been with Hirvonen :)

Yes, end result is Petter +18.3, when it after SS1 was +14.9.

I was just imaging the situation when Loeb retires, Hirvonen retires, Loeb comes back in Superally and is in 9th position before the last stage and the only Citroen in front is Solberg who is leading:-) What is going to happen ;-)

It´s tempting but for sure there would be no eight place for Loeb in that case, unless something real happened to Petter.

No way he´d loose a victory. And I must say no way Citroen would demand it either. Or..... :confused:

I can see Quesnel approach a leading Petter. Trying to convince him to let a guy who has "stolen" 5 championships from him pas, to get a 6'th. He would need some serious leverage to accomplish that.

It's Subaru's and Prodrive's faulth..

the amusing thing is that they usually are :)

There was always a fine line giving Petter a C4. Quick enough to beat the Ford's but not quick enough to beat Seb.

Usually bates like this is for COD, but you'll do fine ;)

Now knowing that Loebs titles is due to his car. I hope Mikko takes it, and he will. Petter can do what he wants in GB, because Mikko will be ahead of Loeb anyway.

sure, and if he dont it's probably because a downgraded car, or too tight shoes.

In Citroen juniors he will do what they'll ask him to do..
