Welsh countryside is amazing. I wish I could go back (maybe see the rally). All the green hills and The Big Pit are something everyone should experience at least once. Also, Cardiff is a lovely town to spend a day. +1 Cardiff ftw

Im not going again this year but Im going to be on community radio in Lincoln. I'm looking at everyones tipping on here with my head tilted trying understand why so many have place Duval so low!!! So Im gonna go out on a limb and place drivers in an odd order. F.Duval M. Hirvonen J. M. Latvala H. Solberg V. Rossi (with pudsey bear) M. Wilson B. Clark G. Evans Not that it will happen like that but heres hoping for once. Also Loeb doesnt actually need to win as such.

It will be interesting to see just how fast Loeb goes on this event. Yes he's won the drivers title, but the manufacturers title is still up for grabs, so Citroen will want Seb to finish at all costs.
The two Ford drivers have to go flat out, as they need to finish in a 1-2 to have any chance of regaining the manufacturers title, for what would be the third year in succession.

Seb will win it. There, I said it. Never bet against the master. I learnt that lesson long ago. And Wilson will bin it while running in the bottom end of the top 10. I'd love to see the locals come out and play in GB. It's something we miss all year with the same old crowd. Hopefully Clark, Evans, Rossi can provide some entertainment.

Ah yes but Loeb has never won Wales Rally GB. And there are normally a load of European people at this rally mainly Petter Solberg fans!!

I remember it all too well. I think to be honest Petter has more chance of winning as he has won in 4 times. I was there when he won it in 2003. Another sad year!

Pretty wild about the 17 year old kid Tom Cave, eh? Must be terribly exciting and nerve wrecking at the same time.

There was rumour of it, we had snow here last week - but I don't think any is forecast for this weekend. We shall see though! I can get a five day weather forecast for you, but you will have to wait until Wednesday so I can get another days to cover the whole event! For those that are interested here is where I plan to be over the event, so think of me when the stages are live : Thursday: Start - 18:00 WRGB Day 1: SS3: Myherin 1 - 09:53 SS5: Sweet Lamb 2 - 13:40 SS7: Walters Arena 1 - 17:06 SS8: Walters Arena 2 - 17:17 Service B - 18:02 WRGB Day 2: SS10: Halfway 1 - 09:47 SS12: Resolfen 2 - 13:21 SS15: Cardiff - 18:15 Service E - 19:23 WRGB Day 3: SS17: Port Talbot 1 - 09:03 SS18: Rheola 2 - 11:10 Service H - 13:03 Finish - 14:56

So let me get this straight.... Malcolm Wilson is going to flood the WRC entrees with Fords so he has a higher probability to win the Manufacture's Championship? Doesn't this sound like a little bit childish/unfair? I mean 9 (Malcolm Wilson) Fords against 2 C4 and 2 Scoobies? Flip Edit: This is the link I am refering to.

Only two Stobart and two BP Ford Abu Dhabi are nominated as normal, and the Munchis have finished for the season (?). But in theory, if some of the other Fords can get in front of the Citroens, optimising the nominated cars, then that would be to their advantage. Subaru are too far back for a chance at the Manufacturer's title.
