I'm super happy for Jari

Hey guys, haven't posted in ages! Been lurking but my last post was probably around last year's Rally GB.
Anyway, I'm currently still in Cardiff after having a great week at the Rally - followed it all the way down from Llandudno. When I'm home tomorrow I'll be posting my best pictures - we got super close to a few of the drivers!

Got some good pics of the podium too, so happy for Latvala, was great to see him win! Just a bit gutted Petter and Kimi went out.. It was a good rally though

Rumour has it that Ogier's going to Ford next year, and Hirvonen to Citroën. Announcement expected on wednesday. (source)

@Francois

That's been in the pipeline for a long time. Ford still yet to commit to 2012 though, and Loeb said on Saturday he was looking forward to having Mikko as a team mate next year. Oops!

It has been confirmed that the guy who crashed with Loeb yesterday is a Spanish professional cyclist and friend of Dani Sordo.

The translation of the headline is “The mess Sordo’s friend could have caused!!!”

A little excerpt:

The previous night, he had been in Mini’s service to have his fellow countryman signing a Spanish flag for him. “He is shattered” Sordo told. “Loeb is God for him. I think that really says it all. He has been with him (Loeb) and me in other occasions. When Daniel Elena- Loeb’s co-driver- told me it was him, I could not believe it. Citroën are not blaming him, as a matter of fact they told him to say if he has any kind of problem with the car insurance and they have also invited him to tonight’s party”.

Poor guy! But it's so funny....

Well, at least he got an invitation to the team's party and must already know what will happen to Ogier

At least Loeb already won the world championship I think Loeb would have probably killed him on the spot if Mikko was still in the rally

In google translate the title of the article is: "The liar who could Sordo's friend ...!!!"

We should add this one, together with the "flaming monkey" (flameproof overall) from last season, to the "Anthology of google translating from Spanish".

"liarla" it's a familiar way to say in Spanish "to cause a mess" and, clearly, google doesn't know it

I prefer not to think what could have happened if Mikko had not retired

My video of this awesome fast rally!
Saw a couple of passes from Kimi and looked really good, not spectacular sideways, but just really fast lines!
