You don't think Panizzi will even have a chance?

is he even running in a factory car? Panizzi has been in a customer spec 206 for this season's gravel rallies, while Harri Rovanperra has driven the 3rd 206 on gravel rallies.

well my choices for the rally GB are

1) Petter Solberg (new world champ)
2) Marcus Gronholm
3) Carlos Sainz
4) Markko Martin
5) Colin McRae
6) Freddy Loix
7) Tommi Makinen
8) Sebastian Loeb

can't wait for the race. Sure hope SPEED doesn't mess up rally XS this time. Hell it's the last race of the year and i'm sure they'll have lots of goodies seeing that the championship is so close

Regardless, it's going to be an awesome event. It'd be even cooler to be there for all the madness. Those lucky Brits.

You're right dropkick, Panizzi is. That would be awesome if Solberg could pull it off!

i've got my fingers crossed that Rally XS isn't pre-empted by some nascar crap... Rally GB should be the absolute biz!
