[quote="L5->R5/CR"]I'm excited to see how Pastrana does in the PWRC. I think he'll finish in the middle of the pack with a couple of top3 stage times.............quote]

Top3 stage times?
Hold on L5, this is WRC event, not North American only.
BTW, why are so optimistic about Pastrana? Is there something I don't know?

[N.O.T]

I think he means top 3 stage times among the PWRC crews.

[L5->R5/CR]

I think he means top 3 stage times among the PWRC crews.

Exactly.

I don't think he will set the rally world on fire, but I think he can finish mid pack in the PWRC and maybe put up a couple of top 3 stage times or maybe a class stage win.

He has a couple of advatages and dis advantages. His team has a high altitude testing facility so I imagine he will be very used to how the car will behave at altitude in terms of power and power band. Still he lacks a lot of the experience some of the other runners have so I don't think he can challenge for a class podium.

It will be intersting to see where he ends up though.

I also believe that Pastrana will score some points, there are many P-WRC drivers some are slower than him.

I'll be on the stages with my red, white, and blue as he passes! It will make...at least for me, the pwrc a little more exciting.

The question that interests me mostly, is that how good is that new Subaru. The best scenario would be a Subaru 1-2 finish, which would totally shake up the rankings.

[Simmi]

Yeah I'd love 4 different winners from the first 4 events! We can only hope...

[TKM]

The best scenario would be a Subaru 1-2 finish,

Yeh, Atko 1st, Petter 2nd

Would be great if the season unfolded like it did in 2001. WRC needs a bit of a lift after a rather unspectacular 2006.

I expect the following.

Citroen will win with the C4. Gronholm will be second. Either Petter or Hirvo will be third. Dani will get 4th again. Chris will get some great times then throw it off the road or otherwise damage the car, ruining what could be a great rally for him. Henning or Stohl will therefore get 5th and 6th. PWRC cars will be next, with Wilson somewhere in the top 15-20.

Yes I'm a pessimist as far as Chris goes. Hopefully it will work in reverse and he'll prove me wrong.
