Wales Rally GB 2010

[Mintexmemory]

I note that Rally France is also 'free at the point of use' this weekend.
Already hotels in Wales are either full or charging £85 pppn -and thats Traverlodge and Premier -so much for the advertising campaigns. Still no news about 2011 calendar after the FIA rejected the original proposals, or have I missed something.

Same old story with Wales, silly prices, and every year I say I wont go again, and every year I do!. Found a cheap B&B and been staying there last few years. But it costs a lot even doing it as cheap as possible.

Still, cant wait! Spain and Wales for me, 2 rallies in 3 weeks.

How many cars will be entering this year roughly, as the National championship will be there too?

Ketomaa needs 7 points more from Wales than Pons to be champion of SWRC. Fingers crossed for him because no-one deserves the tittle more this year.

How is the points system?

Same as WRC 25-18-15-12-10... So if Ketomaa wins, he is champion no matter how Pons finishes (Ketomaa has more wins).

Points now (Prokop already has maximum results): http://www.autosport.cz/souteze/bodo...p?id=41&sk=166

Patrik Sandell can also be champion. But I agree that the title deserves to be with Ketomaa

All the top 4 placed drivers can still mathematically win the SWRC. I believe the rules are that each driver counts their best 7 finishes which means the following maxima are achievable
Driver Current points Max available points
Pons 108 133
Prokop 104 121
Ketomaa 101 126
Sandell 99 124

Ketomaa only deserves the title IMVHO if he beats Sandell in Wales. Conversely if Sandell wins the last event he will be a very worthy champ. Those are the guys who seem to be the real contest as far as I can see, my money's on Sandell.

No, they have to choose their 7 races before, so Prokop is out!

Im tipping Petter to win Rally GB!

Its a rally he likes. He's in a car that is quick (enough). And its the last rally of the season so he doesnt have to preserve it for the next rally.
