OMV Norway Report- Round 3
RJ
"No excuses for our poor showing at Mexico. I pushed the car as hard as I could and couldn't come up with the goods. I'm still not sure what caused Igor to roll. We'll have to check the telemetry but I certainly doubt it was caused by a driver error."

Red Bull Skoda: Finch's view
Hooray at last! After a couple of disappointing performances the team pulled it together and we took an excellent victory.
I felt confident with the car all weekend, something I hadn't noticed yet.
We are the underdogs, but every dog has it's day, and mine was today.

´´I am happy for my 2nd place and want to congratulate the event winner Finch for a victory. I done everything at the final stage but this time it just wasnt enough.Also I am happy for the team performance and after my disappointed in Sweden when my engine brokened in here the car feeled very good and all was playing excellent,said Mixa´´ Also as Matt drived well it seems its coming an intresting season. Citroen is leading manufacturers and both of the Citroen drivers are in good positions. Also I am really happy for the way RFC works. Its extra fun to follow and those roll photos and that kind of stuff is nice. Lets keep going

The rally community is sure to be excited about the newest rally team to enter the RFC. *Testing the future RFC Rally car* *Prototype presented*

At the end of the Spanish Rally Vivski proved that he and Ford had what it took to take victory. Young German driver Danii was looking set to win the rally, when her car slid off into the scenory on the last stage. Though she made it to the finish she lost a lot of time and damaged her Subaru. Still the team was happy as the young star showed a lot of promise. Though Citroen are still in the manuf. lead, driver Matt rolled on the last stage causing him to have to retire from the rally. Overall it was a good showing from a number of teams who had gotten off to a poor start. Many are wondering if the DQ in Mexico has affected the Stobart team as neither driver scored points. Next rally is next Sunday in the beautiful island of Corsica for the Rallye de France.

**Mitsubishi Report** R83-"Not my best showing to say the least. I was off my game this rally and the last stage proved to be very difficult as a number of drivers had problems. Overall we are still in the hunt for the manuf. championship but I must do better in France as should my teammate"

report of Kronos Citroen driver,Mixa When the rally started Mixa was way out of the pace. He set the slowest time for Alpens stage and in the finish he said: ´´We came too carefully,I was totally lost. The car feels to be great but I just cant get a good attack for myself because I dont feel myself confident. The roads are great but asphalt just isnt my favourite´´.At the next stage Mixa seemed to come well and pushed quite an ok time to the table,beeing 3rd quickest at La Roca. In the finish he said ´´To the clock it seems I came quite well,we are still out of the points.We try to attack on the next stage and get some points for the team and for us too´´. At the last stage La Rona,Mixa attacked well and done 3rd quickest time. In the finish he was quite happy.Here are his comments for the rally.´´I am happy to our 6th place down here. The rally was great and I just wouldnt go any quicker. Also in the final stage I scared a little as I saw my team mate for offroad. It was a hard place were Matt gone out and I am happy that them are ok. Now we are leading the manufacturers and drivers title also so I am happy. I and Matt will try to keep the pace up´´. As Ford won and Subaru done well also,it looks like season will be quite even.Its too early to say who will take out the titles so well done Vivski for the win and congrats also to other podium finishers.Also Subaru looks to be back in the title chase. ps. Matt,if you want to I can start to write Kronos reports also. You have done a great job with them so I still wish that you would continue on doing them

OMV Norway Report- Round 4
RJ
"Yes! Finally a podium for the team. We are extremely delighted with this result. We probably didn't deserve it as Danii was lightning fast in the first two stages. However, six points is what we'll take any day.
It's a pity we couldn't do any better. In hindsight, driving safely wasn't the best option to take in the first stage at Alpens. Had I just went for it from the get go, things could have been alot more different..."

FordTeamRS: "Oh thingy... No, that wasn't quite a good round however both of us. I know I wasn't all that confident with the car, quite a few ordinary setups. Oh well..."

Team Moose Power driver Vivski: "YESSS!!!! Finally we have some pace! Unfortunately Nicole was plagued by technical problems, but my car performed perfectly. I drove a measured rally and it paid off. I was able to build up the speed and pounce on the final stage. This is a great result for my confidence and for the team. This should now give us some momentum for the next few events. We're back in business!"
