Well yes, but there are 3 reasons why that isn't suprising:
a) It's dirt, the C4 is never that comfortable on dirt.
b) It's the shakedown, Leob is obviously saving his concentration.
c) The times are biased. Solberg that far up the order?

Well, the times are a little odd.
The Subaru can be fast, but then really slow.
In the actual rally, they'll be no where.
I agree on the C4, it isn't comfortable on dirt. The new 07 spec Ford is fantastic on dirt.

The Focus is the better car, Leob is the better driver, and the only real reasons for the 8 pts difference are Hirrvonnen and that cow.

This weekend will be the real test.
The Finnish Rally was a Gronholm rally, and the German rally was a Loeb rally.
Rally New Zealand is neither...

Probably more Marcus than Seb...
Mind you, Seb can go quick anywhere.

Pretty much, Seb is always quick. So is Marcus, but not so much so.

Marcus Gronholm is currently leading the rally, he's 13 secs ahead of Loeb.

Hmm, let's see...
The Ford does look a lot quicker than the Citroen.
Sordo is crap, as usual.

I don't hate Loeb, I do admire his skills immensely.
For some werid reason, I just prefer Gronholm.
