2008 Rally Italia Sardegna - official thread

But that is the Latvala aproach, and I like that one - compared to the more wait and see, safe it a bit solution.

It is better to show that you have winning potential, than others that are more slow to get up to their top speed, like Henning that usually have a challenge on the first stages of these sprint rallies.

If we are getting back to 4-6 day events, then endurance and tactics will come in, and not only "Allways flat out"

Ostberg is also quick, so lets hope he lasts !

defenetly a true word! latvala has the most speed of all junior drivers i think, same as duval for example. but now he needs to become more steady. thats a normal thing, look at atkinson, hes pretty fast now and steady. and think about how many cars he´s already crashed.

Østberg lost 30-40s on last split

Mornin' guys!

Seems like the old story in Sardinia - Loeb going fast and steady, leaving the mistakes for the others.

Shame about Mikkelsen, who had a truly impressive pace - and Østberg too, he must have had a spin or something, he lost 25 secs on the last split.

Henning too slow again, wonder if he is going for the medium pace again, hoping others will crash out, or if he has confidence issues, or what?

Mikkelsen was impressive but not so much for me due to his starting position and for pushing too much with a new co/driver ending off the road

ss3 is live

And Loeb continues to push...

But JML is faster still... A clean fight between the two would be interesting to see...

[DuncanD]

Galli quickest on first split :-) but I can't see any more splits on WRC.com, the page won't load

[Fang]

Sordo quicker than Latvala at split 3. Citroen well and truly flexing their muscles!!

[jonkka]

Interesting to note that Galli is almost as fast as JML - without testing and on B-team...
