In a dramatic rally, snowballs proved to be a turning point. Snowballs thrown by fans saw both Gronholm and Solberg crash, the former dropping from second to fifth, the latter retiring. After an earlier retirement of Duval, this gave a relatively low scoring round. TT6 took the win, closely followed by IMHO and Ric Bol. Defending champion Makarias had to settle for seventh place.

Rules
The rules are fairly simple. All you have to do is predict the top 8 for the upcoming rally in the simple format of
your username/dvr1/dvr2/dvr3/dvr4/dvr5/dvr6/dvr7/dvr8
Scoring is done on a 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis.
10 points scored if your driver finishes in the position predicted, 8 points if your selection finishes 1 place away (i.e. 1st or 3rd when you said second), all the way down to 1 point if your selection finishes 7 places away. No points will be awarded if your selection finishes outside the points positions or if he retires from the rally.
A 20 point bonus will be awarded if you get them all correct, so you can in theory score 100 in each round.
Results will be posted at the end of each rally as soon as possible (can be an hour, can be 2 days, depending on whether I'm near a computer).
Entries must be in before the start of the first stage of the rally.

Entry list. Hopefully something a little more structured will appear in the near future. Main change is Bengue being replaced with Tuohino at Skoda
check the stage by stage ( nice work Neu) on stage 4! ( and 5 and 9 and 10 )....
