WRC Portugal Rally
« on: April 12, 2009, 02:22:08 pm »
So since top gear season is not back yet, ive been filling the void by watching WRC. This rally was awesome ..... it was actually harder than greece, narrow winding road and super dry gravel made it an overshoot speed event on corners. Also the debut of the Prodrive Sti, which is really the SWRT sti but with Gronholm behind the wheel, made it very entertaining to watch.


Just though i let you guys/girls know about it for a  good watch

I caught up to everything but Portugal this past weekend and Petter in the Xsara was more than enough for me to be thoroughly entertained.

You've gotta love the WRC. The new rules that come into play next year (I think) should make it interesting to say the least!

I wish I could have seen what final rally time Gronholm in the Impreza could have posted, he was flying.

Latvala's wreck was quite impressive as well.

defenetely Gronholm was hauling on the first few stages, i mean second place on most of the stages...... go prodrive finally. Latvala's crash was intence, all the flips that thing took going down the hill.
