This
And this
What's that skip? There's a rally on? Bonza!
Where is it being held?
In Australia duh... But more specifically near Sydney (edit New South Wales in Coffs Harbour forgot to add this bit sorry everyone
)What happened last time out?
Ah rally Germany, the rally no one seemed to want to win. What looked like another win for Ogier changed when he crashed not once but twice. This the left the door wide open for Latvala to romp to victory and close in on Ogier in the championship, but alas somehow latvala managed to miss the door and hit the doorframe when he crashed out on Sunday morning. This left Kris Meeke in the lead who the promptly crashed the very next stage. So this left Thierry Neuville to embrace his inner solberg (he crashed in shakedown) and take his and hyundai's first rally win. Followed home by his teammate sordo and the sole remaining vw Mikkelsen.
The contenders
You can't look much further than this guy
With Latvala's confidence more than likely having taken a battering last time out its more than likely that Ogier will repeat last year and win again, but don't count out Mikkelsen or kris Meeke, both were fast last year and if they can keep it on the road they might get a good result. Hirvonen looks like he has lost interest and is just searching for his pipe and slippers.
Kubica will probably end up like this at some point.
But maybe he won't we can but hope.
Also there will be the return of local boy Chris Atkinsosn in the second Hyundai.
Do say: This is Ogier's rally to lose
Don't say Hirvonen will be fighting for the win
When is it happening?
Starting from tomorrow through till Sunday. Although this will all be in the early hours of the morning if your in Europe.
Thinking about it maybe this wasn't the best rally to do an OP on........
But that's on at a terrible hour, I need my weekend motorsport fix!
Fear not my fellow motorsport fan, there are many other things on at the weekend to keep you entertained.
There is moto gp from misano which can be discussed here: http://forums.autosp...57#entry6876389
