I think that my selectin of drivers that I picked for Sweden are the best of the bunch so I think I'll just rearrange them for this event:

1) Solberg
2) Grunholm
3) Loeb
4) Gardemeister
5) Martin
6) Rovanpera
7) Duval
8) Kresta

Grunholm always seems to be good on gravel so I think he'll do well. Solberg will win of course, since he is the best of the best. Gardemeister in 4th because he seems to be very consistent in his new Focus. Martin in 5th because he should be getting used to his new car soon and Rovanpera 6th because he is a gravel specialist.

Can I play too?

1) Solberg
2) Gronholm
3) Loeb
4) Martin
5) Rovanpera
6) Gardemeister
7) Duval
8) Panizzi

I think, that new Impreza will do great, and on gravel you can never count out Gronholm and Martin. Loeb will probobly do good, since he wants to get points he lost in Sweden. Of the rest I believe that Rovanperra will do good, because the new active diff in mitsubishi will show it's advantages. Gardemeister seems to like Focus very much, so he's next and then should be Duvall, since he is a good driver but will have to score some points so he'll have to come to finish, even if he has to drive a little bit cautios. And off course mitsubishi's Gilles Panizzi will benefit from new active diff too.
Well that is it. I cross my fingers

Welcome to sunday folks. The rally'l be on t.v tonight..I haven't looked at any standings so far, but hopefully Petter didn't crash and managed to hold on.



It's a beautiful day..sun is shining and there's not a cloud in the sky. I think i'll wash the car today and take a drive before the rally 👍

It was great! Petter won again, Marcus and Marko were really well and put Peugeot ahead of others im Manufacturers Champ.
But...Loeb was the Man this weekend!! Recovering from 18th to only 4th position was incredible!! yeah, he benefited from other drivers retiring but, even so... awesome!
Now drivers standings are Petter 20 and Marko 19, with Gardemaister 17. It's a bit tight but a great season start!! Shame next round is in a month, New Zealand... damn wait...
Way to go Petter!! 10 wins this year...2 done.

Yeah!! Way to go Petter... Now only if I can watch the damn rally... God!! I need cable!! Can't even get a damn DVD of it cause it doesn't sell in the U.S.... But enough complaining... I hope Petter wins the WRC this year~

-I agree with your sig btw...

 

[Canadiandrifter]

Woohoo!

From last place, to fourth.

And good job to Petter..I recorded the rally, and I LOVE watching him drive.

And big props to Loeb..from 17th to fourth..👍

I watched it this morning and it was very very fun to see Daniel Helena (Loeb's co-driver) hanging out of their car to take out weight from the rear left wheel!!! In a freeway!!!
Then the cops pulled him, the dude take a picture from the car with his cellphone and sent it to his boss... The boss sent two bikes to escort them as they drove back to the Service Area...Very lucky Loeb!!

And (i think) Sola's accident was pretty bad, it would be nice to see from a external view...Good thing they escaped uninjuried 👍

 

[Canadiandrifter]

Apparently somebody threw a rock through the side window of loebs car and it cut Daniel Helena on the chin..
