Some great photos there
Bakkerud was epic in Round 4 yesterday in Hell. The Audi's obviously didn't suit the circuit, but the first clean sweep on his home event reflects Bakkerud's dominance.
Had thought that the teams running harder setups were getting the most mileage out of their tyres this season (as you said, Solberg used up all his tyres before the final at Lydden, and his car leans like no one else's....) but the Focus looks more like Solberg's car through the corners; admittedly the Focus looks huge in comparison to the Fiesta and Polo (and even the Audi) so that may be a bit deceiving....
Glad the Discovery Channel are using Quest for the coverage, as it's then shown when they say it will be, unlike British Eurosport....
Old enough to remember the old days with Martin Schanche and Gollop pre Group B days and then Group B once they were all thrown out of the WRC so really good to see it so strong again - Loeb, Block, Faust and Solberg are all big names which will help raise the profile, but the youngsters coming through the junior series are also strong.
