    Yes yes! I am a big WRC fan. Yeah the cyprus rally was great to watch, nice was nice to see Petter get his second win. Something went majorly wrong with the Peugeots!

    Panizi may become great, but not the greatest I think. There are others better than him on the non-tarmac surfaces but I admit he's the best on tarmac. I think his drive in cyprus was largely due to the mechanical problems with other teams, where did he finish in cyprus I didn't see his final result, he's not in the top 8 did he retire?



    WRC is popular enough here in the UK to have a decent program on Channel 4, although it's not a very high priority and gets shoved around a bit in the schedules. The UK has some decent drivers as well!

    WRC is definately not as popular as F1 here which is a shame because I think F1 is a bit boring compared to WRC, plus as the cars look similar to the road versions you can imagine yourself in one much easier. Also, I think that you have be a better driver in WRC

    I like GT a lot, and WRC isn't too much of a stretch from that.
