Pons also had some good performances. Especially in Kronos xsara WRC.
Sete , come on did u miss Golden Stage?? It was clearly that I meant that.. Would be stupid that I compare performances from those two on SS1 when he had a crash makes no sense at all. Kronos Xsara WRC is the past.. It's now what is important..
Pons drove Canarias this year in a lightened Fiesta and was setting similar times to Basso in the Proton.
On the other hand Pons was on Hankook. Don't forget that.
I looked the Golden Stage and I wondered if there excists a s2000 car that is capable to survive such driving over the full rally distance? I think no :-)Quote:

None of those two had to save their car..Quote:

I hope they would negotiate further in the future, say 2013 season. If it would be announced early enough for promotion with plenty enough good drivers, throw in some ex-F1 drivers if necessary and organizers should get they moneys back and rally spectators a decent international event.
Decent is a very modest word for Arctic Lapland Rally ;)Quote:
