mikko will be around even after Loeb so do not be so sure about the last part...

There are many drivers with Portugal's experience in their minds. Everybody is talking about Argentina as a endurance rally, thinking about a slow pace (Wilson has lost his opportunity...). Latest weather forecast suggests possible rain on Thursday and Friday, rain on Saturday and possible rain on Sunday. If there's as mud as in Portugal, let's wait that the organization won't need cancelling any stages.

Rain is normal for Argentina... in portugal we had extreme rain and laso the roads are softer than Argentina. I think the rallies cannot compare... Lets hope the argentinian organisers do not mess things up once more.

You're right. More than that, in Algarve it hadn't rained for months. However, Mikko has said this after the recce: "We’ve just finished a massive three-day recce here in Argentina. The roads are really rough and so much softer than in previous years".
Another problem was the fog: "It’s also been more than tricky with all the fog – you can sometimes only see 10 metres in front of you and when it’s a new stage it’s very difficult to make pace notes". We all know what a bad note could mean for a driver...

he's right about the fog

There's a website called wrc.com that has some informaton about the World Rally Championship....

World Rally Championship - Fanzone - WRC Live

"The other" WRR seems to be dead, with no schedule for the rally.

Any shakedown times yet?
