I was just Wondering, Does anyone here watch the WRC. I think its great. The speed that they go on the tight and twisty roads is unbelievable. Its hard to remeber that they are just adapted road cars.

Marcus is doing well yes, The last few years its been between Marcus and Loeb. Its nice to see it so tight in the championship

I'm a Subaru fan, not doing too well at the moment

. I think that Loeb will win the title, but Gronholm is doing well and Ford seem to have solved their reliability issues...

Yes it's a shame Subaru just can't get the reliability at the moment. I'm sure they will be back to the old days, where they dominated it, soon

This is how most first days pan out. I reckon Solberg (if Petter) will drop down to 4th 5th or 6th and Loeb will lead from Gronholm after tomorrow.

Looks like I was wrong!

Gronholm leads from Loeb and Solberg. I'll keep quiet next time!

The Subaru car is getting better, and more reliable.
Go Sebastien, he's getting closer and closer to Gronholm, less than 1 second now :mrgreen:
