    Possibly Loeb did the same trick as Hirvonen not so long ago, sandbagging on day 2 to make sure that Latvala would be first on the road on day 3.
    First result, SS16, Loeb takes back 5 seconds, needs only just over a couple of secs to take the lead...and Loeb will be definitely going for it because he never won the RAC before...Sordo will be the backup to make sure that Citroen will take the constructors title now that Hirvonen is far away.

    this will be nailbiting to the end. with 2 stages to go Loeb was 1.7 seconds behind. He then beat Latvala by 9.2 seconds in the one but last stages, but got 10 seconds penalty for a jump start. So 2.2 is the difference with one stage to go.....

    wait ... he still has to make it back to Cardiff TC without any penalties
    Welsh police will be out with the radar speed guns and inspecting tyre tread depth again

    Well done Seb.

    Well, he did pretty well himself.
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    That boy spends more time upside down than right way up.

    I congratulate chris on his entertaining driving style.

    I remember watching him in the rally of canberra in a 1600 suzuki swift a few years back.

    Did a lovely little burnout away from the cerimony in the middle of the city.
