This has to be the best image I've seen from Rally Mexico from Msr Bettiol. Looks like it was taken from a helicopter but guess it was from on high with one of his customary big lenses!

And the most funny thing - after Sweden Citroen change Loeb`s engine for 3 times:
1. Before Mexico (before shake)
2. Before shakedown
3. Before rally

Great rules!

Finally, according to wrc.com, Trivino disqualified from the rally and Ogier took his place and 1 wrc point!
Ogier score a wrc point at his first wrc rally driving a S1600 car! Excellent!

Well that sucks, screw FIA and the stewards, allowing citroen to change engines but not allowing ricardo to wear old gloves or whatever they are. AND is NOT great that Ogier gets that point Im sure hes ok "just" with the win in jwrc
