long way to go yet

 

After 5 stages that is a good lead IMO and i no thing can change in a split second but for a new car that bloody good

 

Keep it going

 

superb!!!

keep goin' boys

 

Well done boys on eurosport at 10pm

 

It's a good start but still a lot of stages to go,big up marcus though.

 

having a decent driver has a lot to do with it.i look forward to itv's poor coverage

 

shows that the focus ST is better than the focus


















sorry couldnt resist

 

 

seb loeb will still take the championship imo,he's simply the best driver about in ralling at the moment no question.the ford aint doing to bad tho

 

Think the driver might av a lot to do with it aswell

 

Hopefully after this season Finland will tie again with the rest of the world for world rally championships. It's 14vs15 at the moment after a couple of bad years.

 

damn i have to cover the rally tomorow at 6am for work

 

6 stages to go lookin good.

 

Nice to see 2 Mitsibushi's up there

And no Subarus

 

its about 15 mins from me ,but too bloody cold to stand in a forest with drunk norwiegans

 

Almost got off at stage 14,but he's still there so

 

3 to go,come on marcus !!!

 

The leading Ford is starting to break down

 

It's back again

 

MSport have the technology he's back out .

 

Why did so many manufacturers pull out this year? Doesn't seem like a real WRC series now in a way....

 

Much better so far. Other manufacturers pulled out regarding money.

 

18 seconds lead 2 stages to go.

 

It was a split hydraulics filter. Luckily it happened on the stage before the service area. Total domination again after that.
Pitty for Hirvonen and Tuohino for their technical difficulties.

 

Big up Gronholm and Ford. Another superb win

 

Great Result. Now Ford, build a dam Focus Cossie!

 

Exactly m8.

 

Lobe is the best in the business and he isn't in a works team either

know one can take that away from him awesome driver to be fair they are all brill but he just has that bit more

marco

 

to right they can the tight coonts

 

Red

that evo 8, is the worst looking rally car i have ever set eyes on



thats like an uglay child that has a face that only it's mother could love

 

Soooooooo true m8.

 

it is damn ugly. Its that stupid looking spoiler that does it, but if it works...
