I'd expect Loeb to win this one
More interesting I think will be the battle between Hirvonen and Latvala I'm hoping the Subarus are competitive here too so at last there'll be something to keep an eye on. |

over the course of the last year ive become quite an atkinson supporter, hes driven very well this year, getting a 3rd and a 2nd already within 3 rallies and currently doing well in argentina, he seems to have matured, found more consistent speed and stopped trashing cars at the rate he used to.
good to see them back in the hunt and i hope to see a few wins before the end of the year (christ WRC needs more consistent winners and that means that we need a winner from subaru bring more variation to the small wrc feild |

Impressive showing from the Citroens as a whole really although the Subarus appeared to be keeping them honest ( Subaru back at the sharp end! ). Shame Solbergs electrics went duff and robbed Subaru of another podium to go with Atkinsons.

Essentially what we're seeing is the lack of depth of the WRC field at the moment giving us highly predictable results. |
