    Apparently Prodrive have decided their cars, in their current state of development, do better on loose and slippery surfaces. There was an article saying they were hoping for rain today and I assumed that just meant they figured they might get lucky because rain can level the playing field.

    Their wish came true, it rained hard. Sordo took the 2nd fastest time in the first 2 stages before he damaged his car and lost power steering. Muller jumped up to 4th one stage and 5th the next.

    Now, understandably, Prodrive are hoping for rain in Spain. :biggrin5:

    Is the Rally in Spain on the plain?

    This one is ... erm, different ... but there's some good stuff if you hang in there, esp. past the half way point.
