Sorry about the table, stupid margins and that

But read this, an article about his progress
http://www.wrc.com/page/BreakingNewsDetail/0,,10111~626577,00.html

[jackosimm]

good progress from him! didnt i hear on the news last night he went off and lost 25 seconds? anyway thats still a top effort for a rookie, should be a good season, i promised myself id get into the rally a bit more this year!:thumbsup:

[LUD02C]

Yeh he had an off in the first few stages on the left hand side.

Just some inexperience on the snow.

[jackosimm]

yeh it would be difficult tryin to adjust to drivin in that stuff

[kenshin]

the WRC is more entertaining imo than the F1 world championship...

too bad chan 10 isnt taking the sport seriously...

[jackosimm]

yeh thats always been why I've never been a huge supporter, anyway this is the year!

[panda[cRx]]

the way they package the show too is great too
love the WRC!!

[Hondavirgin]

on Foxtel they used to have the half hour shows on at the end of every day about what happened that day in the ralky, with a one hour wrap up at the end. Now that was good coverage!

[LUD02C]

Channel 10 are only allowed to play highlights, but Fox Sports have the rights to show the day stages and then the full rally from WRC.

atkinson's debut is good, esp for someone who has never driven in snow and still learning the car

i like the highlights package on ch 10. i think it's a great show and doesn't get boring, you don't have to watch the whole race, just the good bits or the stacks or the crazy people who line the side of the rd when the car comes flying past :D

[civiceg9]

F1 is so crappy these days, no over take, qualifying with only 2laps and is always Ferrari up front which makes it worst. :(

[Hondavirgin]

haha, there ARE no boring bits in WRC, its all action, thats whats so good about it.

I wouldn't say F1 is crappy, there's are great races behind the first place every race, with passing, close racing, tenths of seconds between pitstops...its all good. And i'm a huge fan of the two lap qualifying, means they have to perform!

[jackosimm]

meh its all good!:thumbsup: :D

[LUD02C]

Atkinson gets praised.
