I'd be mortified if I was a FORS mechanic, the failure rate of the cars is appalling. Despite all the claims the Clios look no better to me and the Meganes seem to be going backwards. Is the issue budget or expertise? I wonder if there is any frustration at Prodrive, seeing another of their rallycross creations struggling in the hands of another team?
Real shame to see Ekstrom and Larsson drop out on Saturday, but some great racing in the rain on Sunday and a fantastic drive from Niclas in the final. I seem to be in the minority as a fan of Johan - and I thought he had done enough to close the gap in the final - but Gronholm did well to take it.
I see that Spa has been pushed back to November now in the hope that they can host a bigger crowd.
