Here are some photos from this one. Petter banned after speeding on one of the transitional roads. As a result co-driver Chris Patterson took the helm and drove the end of the rally. They ended up in 5th place overall despite the unusual circumstances. Full detail and more images here.

Holly suspension travel

awesome pictures!

 

Tell me about it! My Jeep is getting intimidated a bit.

 

I know the feeling my wife has a raised Jeep and my evo wheels are still on the ground when its almost a same hight on the lift ...LOL

But not even close like these...

 

Is this even normal??? I never saw a WRC car with this much suspension travel before...

 

Where do you guys watch WRC events? I used to be able to download them from some guy's website... but he stopped uploading them.

Also with Petter being kicked out... what did the co-driver do? I assume he just had another person do the pace notes? Or did Petter end up reading the notes? lol

 

I'm sure they change out the suspension depending on the course/terrain they'll be running.

 

Great photos! Thanks!

 

That last shot of Latvala is pretty friggen cool!

Anybody know if HDT is covering this season or not? I've been looking on the guide and haven't seen anything listed yet.

 

Awesome pictures!

Post this on DirtyEvo.com!

I have not seen anything yet on HDTV

 

yes it is normal. in the snow set up the suspension is a softest and highest /ride hight/ out of all the settings. So the suspension can and does expand much easier to the limit if its is allowed.
