I didnt open this thread yesterday since I didn't want to spoil the suspense. It was worth it.A lot of surprises.
Latvala proved he didnt just get lucky in the last rally. This fellow is a real threat to Loeb who was chasing him down for the first half of the rally.After climbing up, he talks about his time difference and says " Im gonna need more than 5 seconds if Im gonna be the first car and cleaning the roads tomorrow."
Chris Atkinson got real lucky. When he was placed third on day 2, he expected a "top 5" and so #3 is awesome and he wouldn't be taking "stupid" risks and ended the rally #2 after Latvala's turbo piping issue.
These non-RFTs are a real pain for these drivers,but entertaining to us audience. One never knows how the finishing order will be. Hirvonen jumped from #5 to #4 even after 2 punctures.
Next rally, is almost a month later at Argentina(i think).Im cheering for Latvala! |
