Congratulations to Curt for a fantastic win in Kenya!! Also congratulations to the RFC driver's champion..MattWRC!! An amazing show of talent and consistancy. His 8th place though was not enough to secure Subaru the manuf title. That honor goes to the amazing team, Suzuki! Both drivers scored points in this difficult rally. Something to be definately proud of. It was a tough rally though as the 5 retirements show. -Danni's Xsara caught on fire on the 2nd and longest stage -Ryan's Skoda hit a gazelle dropping him out of the rally. -Rallying83 collided into mbmz3's Focus after a series of problems had slowed down the Focus. The dust was so bad that Rallying83 had no time to avoid the crash. -205gti broke his suspension on the rough stages ending in retirement.

Of course I'm disappointed not to have had a strong showing and not gaining the manufacturer's title, but all in all we had a good season. We managed to get some exceptional results along the way but in the end the better team won. Looking forward for a stronger showing in RFC4

What a great result for Suzuki!! Congratulations to Matt for a well deserved win. I came hard at you in the last rally. As you can see while everyone was making sure they finished, I was hammering it though the last stage!! I wanted that win, but you drove too well Matt. A very close finish in the end... only 2 points in it! And without the wildcard entries in Kenya, the difference would have been only 1 point!! Thanks to Gren for all the effort put into organising this championship. Me and the Suzuki team have thoroughly enjoyed it. And finally thanks to my teammates. James and Matrix (Jamtrix) who have both put in fantastic efforts this season. This is the end of a very sucessful season for Suzuki. Our first season in the Swift WRC but it performed brilliantly. While the driving sometimes failed to do the car justice, it never let us down. To underline this, in the 17 rallies the team scored: - 4 rally wins, - 10 podiums, and - a staggering 15 stage wins! (that's 30%!!!) To WIN the Manufacturers' Title and come 2nd & 3rd in the Drivers' Title is a phenominal result. Thanks to all who competed and made this such a fun season.
