2007 Rally Ireland - official thread
One week to go.
Exiting rally. maybe a conclusion in driver and manufacturer championship.
BP-Ford needs 3 points. I am curious about the local drivers. What can they do and maybe there is a surprise. This is a special rally with characteristic roads and beautiful scenery.
Some interest links for this rally:

Yes, looking forward to the event. I think we might see some surprises. As for the locals, I expect some good coming from Eugene Donnelly.
What are the weather predictions? I assume rain at least. It's a pretty wet period for Northern-Europe at the moment.

I can't wait! many forumers coming? i can't see too many locals putting any of the regulars under pressure, well maybe 1 or 2 stobarts and even at that i think it will only be Meeke and Donnelly, the top GrpN drivers are probably quicker than the majority of the WRC's in the rally. Also i think this could be a great rally for Wilks and Mikkelson, tail end of the points if they keep it on the road!
As for the weather, it's been mostly dry and cold here lately, we will no doubt have rain over the weekend though
There is a video on the Official site of the stormot superspecial, looks pretty different to all the usuals, could have been there for a while but i've never noticed

I am also looking really forward to this event. For me the Tour De Corse and this rally is what I have been looking forward to since I am a tarmac fan.
But I also expect some shocking things to happen in Ireland as I don't expect Loeb and Gronholm to take the first two places. I have a feeling that one of them won't make it to the end.
Bring it on...Supporting Ogier in the WRC & Ferrari in F1 & Ducati in MotoGP.

I don't agree with you here, I think they will both make it to the end.. Well, they have to, otherwise both their championships are almost overRIP Marco Simoncelli

Meeke's car looks great! thanks for the pics
I don't really agree with you Magnus, he can let loeb go flat out for the win and as long as he keeps Sordo at bay he should have no reason to be forced into a crash, but he is a rally driver...who likes to win, so anythings possible!
Did Jan Solans get 3 points for his 8th place at the end of saturday? Wikipedia and WRC site shows he didn't, eWRC shows he did.
