anywhere in sac to watch the rallye d'italia on sunday?

i was wondering if there was anywhere to watch this other than the comfort of my couch.

in my mind i hoped that streets of london would since they serve breakfast and tend to show the events more popular in europe. i.e. soccer and rallys.

thanks!

Thumbs up

well, the rally was great even from my couch. solberg took second but subaru is still a far third in the manufacturers points. loeb is really an amazing driver and will be very difficult to stop. all the rolls and troubles for other drivers and he drove a perfect rally winning at least 8 stages i can remember and beating solberg by nearly a minute. can't wait for the next round!

I didn't even see your post :| Maybe for the next Rally (Cyprus in 2 weeks) I'll talk to my fiance and see if we can get Rally playing on the plasmas down at Icon. We can all make a group event to cruise down there and have some tasty grub for the race

Just wait until next year when Peugot and Citroen aren't running WRC anymore.

That will be interesting. It's dissapointing that those teams are pulling out - I wonder where drivers like Grunholm and Loeb will end up?

Loeb is just way too good. I want to hate him, but he's such a good driver.

i didn't know they were dropping their WRC programs. that's too bad. competition is an important part of the race.

There is a big rumor that Loeb will stay with Citroen wherever they go next, which will likely be prototype sports cars (like Le Mans prototypes and stuff like that).

Yeah, Peugot and Citroen are out, but Hyundai and possibly Suzuki (and maybe even Renault/Nissan or Fiat) are set to enter next year or the year after. Gronholm is rumored to be in talks with Suzuki to be their main driver when they step up to the big time.
