I think the things that have surprised me most are the performance of the Mitsis and Skodas, also the difference in speed between Petter and the other Subarus - that's quite a gap.

Remember Luke, that Marko has moved to Peugeot from Ford and I would think that he will still be getting used to the 307, its a different beast to the Focus.

I'm glad the main title challengers are right up there, as Loeb won't have a huge lead in the championship. |

Loeb was running on 3 cylinders this evening, the Citroen techies had 45 mins to check it out and they reckon it was a head gaskest problem.

Interesting to see Dave Lapworth proclaiming Chris Atkinson as the star of the rally after the second day of competition.
Good to see him post a string of times in the top 10 while clawing his way up to 9th. Must have had an off on the last stage as dropped back to 10th overall with a stage time that had him 23rd for the stage. A few of the more experienced drivers must have done a double take on one of the stages to see him post the 4th quickest time. I just hope he keeps his head and finishes the final day, not that he is known for falling off the road but you never know. Sarazin still struggling though in 17th after 2 days. Seems to have settled in to that position after looking at all the stage times for the whole field. Last edited by fordo; 13 Feb 2005 at 01:01. |

Has it been done before... a rookie WRC pilot sets top 4 stage times, and is still competing in his first rally??
