Thanks!! lol The pickings are slim. As earlier said, less Private teams on the rallies outside of Europe. I'm not happy with Prokop nor Ogier. If Atkinson was going to be there, I would of placed him in the 6th position and M. Grom would of been 8th had he been in the entry list. Flip

The shakedown times haven't come through as of yet. So if enough entrants agree to still let you enter, then you can for my part. It's their call

No problem. Almost forgot myself! A few of us got in right on the buzzer. No benefit gained from being 30mins late, so as far as I'm concerned, Mikko's tips can be counted.

Maybe we should change the game from 1-8 position to 2-9 since Seb is the most likely winner every time.
Just a thougt.

5 stages have been run so far and... Oh my god, Latvala is still on the road!!! ;D
Hirvonen is leading the rally but Loeb is only 0.6 seconds behind. Sordo is 5 seconds behind Hirvonen, in 3rd position. Petter Solberg is 4th and Latvala is 5th.

Loeb leads Rally Argentina after SS13. He passed Hirvonen on SS11, and then passed Sordo on SS12.
On SS10, Latvala lost his bonnet after the pins came loose, it flew up and over the car. The then third-placed Loeb went off the road one kilometre from the end after flying over a jump in the road which wasn’t marked in his pace notes, and despite this still won the stage.
SS11 Loeb moved from 3rd to 2nd after beating Hirvonen by 8 seconds to put him 2 seconds ahead overall. Hirvonen complained of not being able to control his Focus and said that 'it was sliding all the time'
A third consecutive stage win for Loeb ensured that he took the lead on SS12, and Hirvonen moved up to second place. Sordo dropped from first to third and is 0.7s behind Hirvonen. Rautenbach stopped 11km into the stage.
SS13 saw Loeb extend his advantage and has now won all 4 of the morning's stages. He leads by 7 seconds over Hirvonen. Sordo will start the afternoon’s repeat loop just 5 seconds behind Hirvonen. Petter Solberg holds fourth place, 43 seconds behind Sordo - which he said was the best he could do with is ageing Citroen Xsara. He said that the 'engine mapping had not been adjusted for high-altitude stages'.
After SS13
1 Loeb - 2 Hirvonen 3 Sordo 4 P Solberg 5 Latvala 6 H Solberg 7 Villagra 8 Wilson

Hirvonen is OUT. Overheating engine forced him to slow at the end of SS15 and in a throw back to WRGB 2003 (Martin) the Focus gave up the ghost on the road section to SS16. That brings an end to his run of point scoring finishes which started in Japan 2007 (22 events).
Incidentally, Latvala has now moved past Petter and is in third overall, the two Citroens (guess what order? well done, good guess) seem to be in full control. It might not be over mathematically but I'm prepared to say both championships are done and dusted should the Citroen's keep a 1 - 2.
