Yup, 2 gud performances so far.

Peugeot & Citreon have withdrawn from WRC but Citreon are running a private team so they can keep Sebastian Loeb for when they return next season.

The WRC isn't the same any more IMHO. I used to go and watch it every year in wales, lake district, scotland and north yorkshire. But now it's just a sprint and no proper works teams like there used to be

I don't understand the issue around the lack of works teams?!? It's still the same drivers, so who cares?!?

F1 is exactly the same.

You seem to be missing the point.....

It's the same cars, same drivers and same support....... It's just the official Manu. teams that are not "Officially" entering!

The new Focus IS THAT good.... plain and simple.

How about the pug stacking it into the snow bank and them having to kick out the windscreen

The new WRC focus looks very strong IMO. Even the mrs enjoyed watching it yesterday
