After stage 7: Sordo up to 4th, Meeke up to 5th (though only by 0.4 sec). SS7: Loeb rapid on asphalt opener (wrc.com)
Settling in and getting closer, with just a tiny bit of help from lady luck.........another podium maybe!
Kris is driving smart this time and Dani could sneak into third, which would still be very impressive. I believe he really wants to beat Loeb badly and is capable, but that might not be till next year. Jim
Here is a good, overhead clip of Kris. There are some other good ones on the WRC site. I could be wrong, but it looks like he is doing an "early apex" most of this run. World Rally Championship - Video - Browse All - Spain 2011: Fly through SS7 with Kris Meeke Jim
Still no position changes for the top 10 after stage 10. However, Sordo has the best time so far on stage 11, 2.3 sec faster than Loeb. Looks like he might get a stage win. :fingerscrossed:
I was out and about with the wife today, but thanks to you Steve, I could slip off and quickly check the standings in the rally. You are a good man, buddy. Jim
