Its getting boring again with the first place... the ever consistent Loeb! Wonder how his car never breaks down, not even a puncture in this whole season so far!!!

Nevertheless, its exciting with the fight for the next two places on the podium

2. Hirvonen, Ford +11,2

Petter for the first time in the season getting on the podium!

Thanks for the vids Tantragna, the Power Stage concept is quite an interesting one, happened to see all of it in a 1-hour telecast on Neo Sports, one-hour of just one Power Stage, was excellent.

Was super to see the Mini back in action too, with Sordo managing to take it to an overall 6th finish!!

dont know if i really like the look of the mini yet!!!
