So it has started! With Monte, of course... Good stuff! :D

BTW, has anyone seen Kresta's crash in a Skoda? Crazy stuff! I couldn't find a picture, but the thing is that he hit an outside wall at a hairpin, broke through the wall, and the only thing that saved him from a 30 - metre fall was some pipe that was attached vertically to the outside of the wall! Half e metre earlier or later it would have been a completely different story to tell! Now if anyone does have a pic,please post it here.

Edit: go to www.wrc.com and watch the video file of the crash. S C A R Y ! ! !

hehe, McRae did it again, whats this, 5 years running he hasn't even managed to place on monte carlo? :) You can call me mean, but i just don't like the guy so i can't help but smile every time i see that damn focus cut out. I mean sure he's possibly the greatest driver on the planet, but he's an bastard :)

What about the new line ups? burns with peugot, makineen with subaru, alistar mcrae with mitsubishi. I think this is going to be a very interesting Season.

Man, Makkinen looks really good in the subaru at Monte!!!

I think that the first rally doesn't mean anything.
There has been so many team changes , and the drivers need time to get comfortable first!!!

Oh yeah, that Skoda crash, man...that was crazy!!! If they would have gone down the cliff...BIG trouble. I think its cool that Speedvision or Speed Chanel is giving the rally three days coverage with more in-car-time. Can't wait till the next rally!!!:D :D :D :flash:

Hardly. He's a wank! No consistency. I'd have to agree with the rest of what you said however. :D

Burns is going to be the man to beat again this year. :jump:
