How can Petter Solberg have multiple punctures and still stay ahead of half the pack? I think he only stopped because he ran out of spare tyres.

Thanks for the link! Yes I suspect Petter simply ran out of rubber, shame.

Agree.
Also, why didn't they give the Mini more coverage ? New car etc....

It was only an S2000 spec car, it went backwards as soon as they were out on the stages. The WRC spec car comes along later in the year.

It looks huge compared to the Fiesta/DS3 though, I'm not sure its the right choice even though Prodrive said its dimensions were almost perfect

Good too see kiwi boy Paddon dominating PWRC 6 minutes clear after day 2 - and 11th overall.

Well done to Ogier for not throwing it off the road again and instead taking his second Rally Portugal win!

Ford need to sort out their reliability though!
