unlucky for Marcus though but suppose rules are rules.

I think Solberg has to work a bit on his consistency, cos he either makes mistakes or set blistering stage times that beat everybody by miles.
I guess Prodrive is going to sign him on a long term contract, & smooth out this rough diamond.

I agree rules are rules, but that does seem a bit harsh.
Pit crew within 1k of the car when it's out of service area and what about that lunatic chucking the rock at Marco Martin was it? Nutter.

That was one high speed crash - 6th gear IIRC. Pity CH4 only had it on amateur footage as Id like to watch that one again.

Burns disqual means Petter is now 2nd which is his highest finish I think.

The Championship organisers need to sort themselves out, knowledge of Gronholmes infringement was indentified early in the day, meanwhile these guys are risking their lives!!

One of these days someone is going to be seriously injurred and then find out that it was in vain due to the late publication of exclusions..

I'll bet that spectator got very drunk that night

Just shows the importance of standing in a safe place.

It was a police man who the car went over. He had just cleared all the public from there about 15 minutes before Tommi crashed. Very lucky.

P1Fanatic - Petter came 2nd in Greece last year aswell.
