Ford's obviously still not got the Focus sorted out yet..

Citroen's looking good in those positions, quite close to each other so let's hope they don't force themselves into a mistake. Looking good for the title for them I'd say!

Oil Pressure problems due to all the dust according to World Rally Radio

**touringlegend** · 21 Jun 2003, 11:09 (Ref:638341)

Strange considering they won a dusty rally 2 weeks ago!!

Speeddemon555 · 21 Jun 2003, 13:27 (Ref:638427)

Uh Oh, Marcus Gronholm, Gilles Panizzi, Markko Martin, Francois Duval and Richard Burns are out of the Cyprus Rally. Yikes! Everyone is fallen off the board quickly.
