Peugeot Runway.
Peugeot is running away with the drivers and constructer's title. Marcus Gronholm's win extended his lead to 16 points over his closest rival Richard Burns who finished second behind Marcus. The manufacturers title is a romp with Peugeot getting mamimum points and extended the lead over Ford and Subaru. Will Peugeot hold the big lead or will the Fords and Subarus mount a charge to the top?

I would have said before this weekend that Peugeot were unstoppable. Then I saw the times for the first day and changed my mind. The 1st day's times proved that Peugeot can be beaten, providing everyone else stops shooting themselves in the foot...

The thing about rallying is.. everyone is beatable. Unlike Grand Prix there is always a chance of things going wrong for the favourites. Take Cyprus for example. McRae was the red hot favourite and dominated until the last day when it all went wrong.

Four consecutive 1-2 results speak for itself!

Peugot's got a lock on the manufacturer's championship, but at this point Marcus and Richard could both still have enough bad luck for Tommi to take the driver's title.
Yeah, a _lot_ more fun than F1, where we're already talking about _next_ year's championship!

Yes, if Subaru and Ford keeping giving away points on the gravel events then Peugeot will walk it. It's not all over yet, remember there are still 7 gravel events left (potential 112 points)

Peugeot will be very difficult to beat with such an advantage so early in the year already, but every team has its weak points and off-weekends, so expect Ford at least to come through with Subaru perhaps also gaining. But the rest are nowhere.
