And Loeb well just a solid piece of driving and another day at the office for him. Miko better watch out!
Endurance rallying could return to the World Rally Championship next year, if a proposed removal of the maximum number of competitive miles is implemented.
Rounds of the WRC are currently permitted to run anything up to 310 competitive miles, an increase from the 220-mile rule which had been in place prior to this season's increase. But that limit could be binned next year following a meeting of the WRC's Global Working Group.
WRC Commission president Morrie Chandler said: "This is something the working group has talked about and it could be interesting. At the same time, I'm not too sure how many rallies would be interested in running really long rallies due to the cost implication. It will be interesting to see how many events run to the higher limit this year, not too many I would imagine."
The working group is also investigating the possibility of merging selected cross country rallies into the WRC, although such a move would be at least two years away.
Mikko suffered from the road position, otherwise he would have put up a great battle with Loeb.
I don't think that road position was the whole story, The Fords looked pretty impotent at altitude.
Congrats to Peter on the epic battle. I still don't understand the tactic Ogier used for the penultimate round by slowing down, what is the advantage of that to bring the time to 0.6 before the last stage?
^That's definitely true. One small thing that bothered me about Ken Block's debut...his car is hideous. The Monster World Rally livery is ghastly.
ugh damn it Motors Tv get your shit together. How can you make a mistake that big? I miss Eurosport.Apparently they made a mistake by using footage from Saturday on that particular SS (the same stage was run on Sunday too). No way slowing down like that would've helped Ogier on the final stage of the rally!
You realize that the TV stations don't produce the WRC shows themselves?ugh damn it Motors Tv get your shit together. How can you make a mistake that big? I miss Eurosport.

Ah, okay. Now I want MotorsTV even more.
Right, but as mentioned above they can edit it. I'm not asking for a lot here, just provide a subtext in the bottom of the screen, "Sorry wrong footage, Solberg actually was catching Ogier and he didn't slow down like that." or something like that.You realize that the TV stations don't produce the WRC shows themselves?
I was watching the in car video of Ken Block in Mexico and I'm fairly certain his co driver Alex Gelsomino is the Count from Sesame Street...
