I want to add that yesterday he suffered from: loosen steering wheel; broken gear lever and dismounted turbo pipe. All this after the loosen rear suspension in Argentina. I dont know how he can be calm enough to continue driving after this.


and one short but very good clip

Brilliant stage from jari matti, he is on fire! Where are my cigarettes!

Novikov is out with water pump issue - just heard that on WRR

Great effort to rescue the car, havent seen this sort of thing for years...

Maximum attack by Latvala! Now keep on pushing even harder!

Missing second split for Petter - hopefully he is ok!

Edit - Split has gone up and he is quickest through so far :)

What was the reason FIA banned Latvala's collar bone extra cushion? Can't figure out any good reason...

Watched the video. What a bunch of pussies. I thought you Europeans were supposed to be rally fanatics. If that were anywhere else in the world, particularly down here, that car would have been hoisted back on the road within a couple of minutes.

If it was Australia it would still be there lol
