SS notes:
A short fire under the bonnet of Markko Martin's Focus at the checkpoint. He was able to continue, the turbo was possibly overheating.

 

Looks like Petter can start preparing for the 05 championship

 

Its a little too late, but it looks like Solberg found his pace. He got a fastest stage time and a second fastest this morning. Rock on.
