Travis may have had a tough day, Ken had WRC baptism of fire. Block's blog:

Includes pic of Christian checking them into control for the last service of the day.
Apparently there around 3,000 people working on this event.Quote:

Why is Stohl running after Marcus not before? Are not superspecials counted?
hello again.
New day, hope that Rauam will have a problems free day.
Atkinson now fastest !!!!!
I think that Marcus' fight for second place is bit more difficult as he is now in front of his rivals on the road..
Loeb restores the order.....
Well. Mikko seems to have a good chance of taking joint lead in the championship with Loeb...Quote:

I have faith in Marcus though...i think he will find his pace.
Huoh.. Loeb crushes all opposition. I am afraid of boring season. C4 is already faster than the Focus on gravel. It's astonishing that even Sordo is paralleling Grönholm's and Hirvonen's pace.
Marcus 5 seconds faster than Sordo on split 4...Loeb is comes flying though.
Why Petter didn't restart today while it could be a good test for his new car in the next tough event like Portugal and others? Anyone know why?
Isn't Marcus the only one to have an experience competing in Portugal? Back in 2001 when eh finished 3rd there... This can be an advantage for him.Quote:

We should remember that last year Hirvonen was as fast as Marcus in Mexico. I still suspect that in some rallies - if not in most - Marcus will have edge over Mikko.
To save the engine for Porugal? Are these events paired?Quote:

They use the car back in Argentina! Look at Stohl´s car, It is 6 years old!!!!Quote:

Say what you say and what you want but to me it seems that Xsara was about as fast as Focus - watch for instance Stohl's astonishing raw stage win in repeated stage.Quote:
