Anyways lets get this thread stickied. I'm really looking forward to this rally because Mitsu is supposed to do very good from what they are saying.

How did mits do in Rally Turkey I missed the event due to time and now have to wait till the 25th to see the rally on speed. I think I am going to change their name to slow.

Oh man that sucks.
Mitsubishi really has bad luck, dropping from 2nd to 10th because of a disconnected hose was horrible in Turkey.

I can speculate that there is a saboteur in their service crew not to check the hose or probably loosen it that GG had to stall 3x from the get go. He was only 24 seconds behind loeb at that time, oh well.

wow, Peugot pulled their retired ace driver in to help their program - did they pull this guy back too?

Anyway, haven't finished the highlights yet but now I know the outcome ... *DOH!*

I know alot has to do with the equpment but it seems drivers have alot to do with it... I wonder if Mitsu still really needs to find the right driver for the right setup ... they all have their own unique style and a car needs to be tweaked for that style...

Anyway - lovin' the highlights!

The Acropolis rally wasn't much to watch if you're a Mitsubishi fan. Not too much coverage of the Mitsu, mostly just the front-runners. Loeb won if you didn't know that. In fact if you look at the stage times he pretty much just cleaned up after the first day. That guy is a machine. We ended up with a Rovanpera in 6th and Galli in 7th.

Unfortunately it seems like we're relegated to 6th place quite a bit. And if you watch the coverage only the cars in the fight for a podium finish get substantial coverage.

I guess I should count my lucky stars, I could be a Skoda fan.
