did anybody catch wrc ireland last weekend? they canceled the last two stages on day 1 due to "flooding".. i saw this a few times last year, canceling stages due to weather. its not like they are driving cars designed for extreme conditions or anything :uhh:

nothing but fords and citroens in the points positions, hope its not like that all year

wow, I didn't know there was no Monte Carlo!

and btw, the only pro teams in WRC are Ford and Citroen, Suzuki and Subaru quit in December. Any other make rallying is a privateer.

Petter Solberg got third in Cyprus.. pretty good considering he did it with his privately entered 2006 xsara

Sucks that WRC is going into the shitter, I wish all the factory teams would nut up and come back. I miss the days of Mitsubishi, Subaru, Peugeot and Citroen going at it.

Also, it had (I heard) 20-30 hp less than the big boys. Others have said he had an advantage with active diffs, but Solberg is trying to secure mechanical ones.

That's why the FIA is going ahead with Super 2000 regs, trying to get more manufacturers in with low entry costs. Loeb said he won't compete if they do go with the low power 1.6L rules.

WRC on TV finally!! and in HD too!
