    A magnificent performance by Petter Solberg saw him win all the 8 stages on offer on Day 2 of Wales Rally GB. However he had a big scare on SS14 after hitting a huge pothole and damaging his steering. Despite this he still finished 10 seconds ahead of title challenger Sebastien Loeb. With only 3...

    Looks like the government bungled the whole administration of the rally :wallbang: They could not bail out the sponsorship money & thus it was removed. :fero: It was the hardest, toughest of em all. Rally Finland will be in August 6-8 2004. And yes this is the fastest rally with the longest...

    I just hope that none of them ever goes to Peugeot! BTW Petter just did a stunning SS10 & won by 5.6seconds in just 13.05kms :thumb:

    Petter Solberg took 4 of the days stages to Loeb's 3 to set a lead of 8 seconds at the end of an intriguing and eventful day. Plenty of casualties were recorded as big names could not keep their cars on the road. Sainz titles hopes were dashed when he misheard a pacenote incorrectly to send...

    Hey Torkel :) Good to see a Petter fan :thumb: Since they removed the Safari Rally from Kenya I have not been able to see the WRC cars for quite a while and it is killing me! I can imagine such a battle at my door step ...... Good news is am planning to go for rally Finland next year if all goes...

    It is here, it is now and am excited like Inzaghi when he scores and as nervous as Iuliano when faced by a loose ball. The treacherous conditions of Wales Rally GB is the penultimate event for the three title contenders to strut their stuff. Fittingly this is a rally that throws in almost all...

    On the contrary I think Petter is very marketable. The guy's enthusiasm is infectious & he really is hands down the most outgoing rally driver since those crazy group B nutters. Even my some of mates who are die hard peugeot fans are really into Petter. Gronholm is a nightmare to market so...

    Loeb is pretty much living unto his name. Sainz has slipped from 2nd to 4th. Where is the rain? Let's hope for some drama on day 3. Go Petter!

    Petter started well but an alternator problem delayed him at service & he got a 50 seconds penalty :down: It doesn't look good especially since everyone seems to be finding their form. Hope it rains soon.

    Loeb tried to push too hard on slick tyres and it was wet - Big mistake! He spun out of the road and almost went off the cliff. He was very lucky Febrina. Not so with Markko he also had slicks and went right off the cliff, luckily the trees held him back and no one was injured. It was quite...
