Rally Australia

[Guido]

Given the wheater conditions of the last 2 stages, Seb was on the wrong tyres and after retaking the lead on the 3rd last stage by 1 sec or so, he lost more then 10 in the penultimate, which made him throw the towel and secure second by driving the rally out on the last stage rather then fighting back. Smart. Better 8 then nothing.

Anyway, Citroën caught the Lions

I saw an interview of Loeb on french tv and he confirmed that. He knew he would have to take too much risk trying to catch back Solberg.
That was a splendid rally, and a great win for Solberg, congrats to both of them.
I been reading a few article about Martin being disqualified... How silly is that, i mean 1. it didn't give him any advantage and 2. what would have happened if he left the wheel loose? I know the rule is the rule but couldn't they just remove it and re-check the weight.
Having Burns reinforcing his position a bit more, I'm trying to remember any Championship winner without any win... any help anyone?
