Picking up where we left off, the next round of the RFC will be in Argentina. As usual I have created a seperate thread where you can view the points tables.

**DAY 1 REPORT** Argentina is a driver's favorite. The mountain roads with their water splashes are a driver's dream, so everyone was hoping to do well in Argentina. Championship leader Vivski was the road sweeper and his stage 1 time showed that. Roo was going well, but he misjudged a corner and rollled. Though the spectators did help, it cost him a lot of time. Igor was another one to get caught out. A bad pace note saw him miss a corner, costing precious seconds to find his way back on the road. There were some drivers who went very well though. Curt seems is definately a man on a mission. His last few rallies have been less than spectacular, but on day one he was leading the pack. Mixa is another driver who drove well and was sure to be in the points. **DAY 2 REPORT** Day 2 saw a surge by Suzuki driver Gren. He was determined to make up for a slow day 1. It wasn't to be though. On a tricky hairpin turn, the South African rolled his SX4 causing his to retire. Ironically it was this retirement that caused FordRS's retirement. On coming around the same corner, FordRS was distracted by the Suzuki causing him to make the same mistake. There were three Fords that were going well. Munchi's MikeW and Stobart's Nick and Matt were able to finish in the points. Subaru's Mitch was also able to pull off two points. At then end of the day though it was Mixa who was able to pull of the win, with Curt 7 seconds behind him. A great rally! Join us again for Rally Sardinia!

Not wanting to be picky - but isn't MikeW a Munchi's driver and Me and Matt Stobart drivers? Because you've called Mike W a Stobart and me and Matt BP Ford drivers

Did I really won?? thats something . Roo the Mitsubishi team reporter will drop out one for sure when he can. What a shame that he rolled as Roo is a great team mate to have. Also I see that Munchis team collected a few points. I need to inform for him about that. I also try to get him to be more active but his quite a busy with Megane.

Well done Mixa, good job mate. Bit disappointing on the first stage. We just tapped the bank on the inside of a slowish corner, which flipped the car into a light roll. The car did a 360, almost landed back on it's wheels again, but ended up on its side. The spectators got there quickly though, and we didn't need to get out of the car. But the team is happy. Another good points haul, and still leading the manufacturers championship. And Mixa is now leading the drivers championship. Just goes to show how far the team has come.

Well done Mikko. Nice win. Not a good rally for Kronos Citroen. Definitely want to put that one behind us, eh Len?

Another decent rally for Suzuki. Igor scored points which is always good. My rally was so so. My retirement was just bad luck. Oh well there is always next rally.
