Matt, you're running away with this one. Better not get on a roll, 'cos the Subaru might be hard to stop.
Matrix was robbed! Had the win snatched from his grasp. But it is great to see that the Suzuki is competetive on rough surfaces. The trip to Argentina will be a good experience for the team. We've had some success there in the past with the S1600, but we'll have to work hard to make sure that translates to a reliable performance in the new Swift WRC. Both Matrix and myself will be out for another consistent result to bring home some manufacturers points. We have to keep an eye on the Subarus to make sure they don't get away from us.

Sorry about the long wait guys..lots of things going on with this damn hurricane over here. Finally we make it to Argentina! Congratulations to MattWRC for yet another win! That testing must have really paid off. With that 2nd win on the trot, Subaru have taken a comanding lead in the M. Championship.

I think it will be hard for anyone to catch him now. From what I can see Vivski is nearest to catching and he is still 13 points behind.

after lots of testing i've really got the feel for the car, this is shown with some of my times however it seems i am getting some more consistant times than other. Some of you are extremely quick on some then a bit slow on others, hopefully this will continue with a bit more testing coming up

Why the doom and gloom?? There are 8 rallies left which is plenty of time to catch up.

Peugeot have just announced that their new spec engine is complete, and will be used on the FRC Rallye Finland. The new engine is more powerful and has a better weight distribution regarding the turbo, air filter, etc. "The new engine has already been tested in preperation for Finland. Just looking at data we can tell the car is faster, also the car handles better on the high jumps" Test driver Daniel Carlsson

Matt another win?!! Wow, you have that Subaru on a leash. You're driving like Cody Crocker, consistent pace.
I was very happy to get two top 2 stage times, but I made a mistake on the shortest stage and it cost me the rally. Looks like I'm best placed to challenge Matt here, but it's still early days. Plenty of time, so we have to keep the pressure on and keep moving the Suzuki forward.
The team is still in a strong position in the championship. But I hope we can challenge for the win instead of battling it out for 2nd.

Bah! Our season is finished I want more wins, or at least more higher place results from now on. I'm sick of losing, but after all we are having to focus our workload onto the RFC3 championship also

Here are the standings thus far. Just a different way of looking at it. I will update this with every rally and provide a link for it.

I like that chart, its a good way of looking at it. It seems like I haven't had much luck since the win in Sweden.

Well its finally time to go to the much awaited Finnish Rally! With its high flying jumps, it is sure to be a spectacle. Congratulations to LuckySupra with her much deserved first win!

Well done LuckySupra! You're lucky you caught me in a good mood , but anyway, Finland is always a rally that I thoroughly enjoy, we managed to get an okay points haul that has put us 2nd in the manufacturers championship. I would've liked to be higher up on the leaderboard, but I pushed as hard as I possibly could. Our drivers championship aspirations are not yet over, but realistically, it doesn't look very bright at the moment. Our main focus at the moment is going for the manufacturers championship
