yes but in the gravel rallies, they will take many points. The Ford I think is a better car than Citroën with their great suspension.

Without penalties Jari-Matti would have won the whole rally!!!

Jari did a brillant rally. Bit embarssing to have countless wiper and demisting failures on so many £500k car.

Finish live on RallyFM in few mins

No much against Loeb, and Sordo is getting better on gravel.

Congratulate Mikko and Jarmo to the victory. We meet in Sweden next year.

Crashed at finish ss14, damaged drivers side and roll cage. States dosen't know what he hit, a tree or logs. Would use super rally to be classified.

On tarmac, the Citroen is SLIGHTLY better. On gravel, the Ford is SLIGHTLY better (remember NZ). The two cars are very close to top level.

At the beginning of the seaon, the Citroen was slightly better than the Ford on gravel too but Ford improved the car enough to reverse that from Greece.

The trouble for Citroën could be that Latvala's potentiel is higher than Sordo's. I thought that both potentials were equal or almost equal. After, this rally, I am not so sure. Latvala is better than I thought and I expected a little more from Sordo without the fog.

There is another thing: Let's face it, Sordo is not able to go flat out in the fog. That seems normal to me.

Hirvonen and Loeb especially are very fast in the fog. They trust the notes 100 %. Are they machine?
