There has been significant change for Spain's round of the WRC in recent years. First the move from the Costa Brava to the Costa Daurada on the other side of Barcelona in 2005, and then a calendar move back to autumn in 2007.
The event's nature hasn't changed much, however, with the wide, sweeping asphalt roads providing the fastest sealed-surface stages of the season. Racing driving techniques can pay dividends on the fast asphalt stages as drivers aim for smooth lines through the turns to maximise their speed.
The event is based in the PortAventura theme park, in the town of Salou in the Tarragona region. It's extremely popular with spectators - especially the Spanish who were weaned on years of success for double champion and 26-times rally winner Carlos Sainz.

Loeb and Sordo doing what was expected. But I must say Iam disappointed with mikko. You cant be a world champ contender with such a gaping weakness on any particular surface. Latvala is extremely poor on tarmac and mikko is just about holding solberg back. Unless luck favours him (which has been the case more often than not this season), he is not giving an impression that he can beat the best.

Is it purely cos of the lack of driving skills or does it have something to do with the car? That C4 is a rocket!
in 2001 Richard Burns won the WRC title by winning just one rally :D

If peter can also pull a podium then mikko has very less chances.

Mikko will be competitive in GB. What's critical will be the starting order at GB. Remember last year Loeb faked a jump start so that he didnt have to sweep on the second day.
