[b]Solberg optimistic for Mexico[/b]
2003 world champion Petter Solberg has said he's got no worries about a repeat of last year's problems on the Corona Rally Mexico, which denied him the chance to fight for victory. Last year's event was the debut for the 2004-spec Subaru Impreza, while this year's event sees the introduction of the 2005-spec car.
An alternator failure at the end of the opening leg cost Solberg five minutes in road penalties as he had to push his car over the time control ramp. The Norwegian has admitted, however, that he has no fears of a repeat incident. He has tested the new Impreza in Sardinia, and is happy that it is a significant step forward over the current car. He is also counting on a repeat of the more focused approach from the Subaru team in Sweden - the result of a 10-hour pre-rally think-tank - that helped him to his win on the snow event.
"Although I was unlucky on Rally Mexico last year, it's a great event to take part in and I'm really looking forward to going back," he said. "It's a very well run rally - last year the organisers did a very professional job, considering it was their first year in the WRC - and I'd say it's one of the best events of the season. Mexico is an interesting place for us to go visit, too and - as a destination - it's somewhere I'd like to spend more time. The people, food, scenery and atmosphere make it unique.
"The stages seem to suit the Impreza pretty well. We've got a new evolution of the car to launch this time and, hopefully, if we have a clean run with no problems, we've got a good chance of winning. Well, that's the plan. It's all about achieving perfection at every stage of the process, from Phil and me to the guys building the cars and the ones working in service too. It's going to be a tough battle out there, I can promise you."
Team principal David Lapworth admitted that he also shared Solberg's optimism for the event. "Obviously, this is the first event with the new car and you'll always have concerns, but from what we've seen in testing there's no reason for worry," he said.

Now that he won Sweden, Petter's got the inertia that will carry him to the World Championship again!
Gooooo Petter!
:banana:
<shameless bragging>
Even if he doesn't win Mexico, I'll be there in New Zealand Next month to cheer him on, so he'll win there :D

The weather reports predict rain. :( Though I guess it will keep the dust down. I wonder if anyone selected wet weather tires?

ooh la la :lol:
Yes, the opening ceremony is must see, but make sure you get there hours early, like three, four hours its extremely crowded and in a tight back street, but it is amazing. Also it is worth hanging out in Guanajuato, it is a great city.
I have not looked at the stage maps yet to see which they are running this year, but most of the main spectator areas in the past have been amazing, some you can see the cars for miles, so you can't really go wrong
Bring mexican cash with you on the stages, there is some vendors in places selling great food, and stop in one of the villages for some food too if you get a chance.
Make sure you go to the bar/restaurant that is kind of across from the headquarters ( a big yellow place if I recall, you can't miss it) the food is great ad the atmosphere gets a bit wild at times
Rain would be bad

Aw, I don't see how the men could have slipped your mind! ;)
The stages are pretty similar to last year's. Details on what the changes are can be found [URL=http://www.rallymexico.com/competitors.asp?f=Route&title=Route%20Information]here[/URL] Leg 3 should be interesting, since it's all new stages. (Two of them run twice.) The last one is supposed to be the longest in the WRC at over 44 KM.

I probably won't even think about where I will be going until I get there. I will have media credentials so with that you get a pretty extensive book showing all the stages, with maps, directions, details and photos of good places to go for taking photos. In an ideal world I would have gone down early and done a recce, but I could not get down there any earlier and thursday is taken up with shakedown and drivers portraits
Make sure you go to shakedown BTW

I never like to see guys lose time to mechanical difficulties but Loeb losing 2+ minutes on stage 2 is great for Solberg.
| Nawambo | 03-11-2005 12:51 PM |
Agreed, you feel bad, and you want Solberg to win it due to his talent, but it's still part of the game. I mean, he lost out a year ago due to the water splash.
And I'm so impressed with Atkinson, GO SUBIE!!!

Beautiful work Morgan. It sounds like a broken record, but those pics are fantastic.

Happened down the stage from me- power steering failed and he caught it on a drainage ditch. Not much damage but he could not continue. I have photos of it to be posted later this evening
Edit: I could not see it because of all the people around the car but I later found out that Chris ripped the right front wheel off

Morgan, when the heck do you find time to post pics AND chase girls?? ;) We've been running so much I haven't even gotten time to look at yesterday's pics, much less get them in any shape to post.
We were at the finish control from the last stage. The flag that Petter waved at the end is mine! :banana: I nearly got it stolen when he passed it back.
A couple of other things from the finish control:
Jani Paasonen apparently hit a cow on the last stage. He came in with no front bumper.
Apparent some spectators threw a rock at Harri Rovanpera's car. It broke the codriver's window, and his codriver, Risto Pietilainen got a cut on his chin. (He said he thought it was a rock, but he's going to hope that it was just a tree branch.)

No need to chase them, they're everywhere! :D
Spending a lot of time in the media room working my arse off is how ;)
Day three is up and I already have a buzz, now off to the party! :banana:

Muy bien.

A good rally. I esp liked the long 45k srage at the end. A good test for the drivers brains.
Kudos to SpeedTV for doing a fine job on the broadcast.
:lol: @ Kai Lindstrom yelling at his driver.

Indeed! How frickin' funny was that?!?
[I][B]Helluva[/B][/I] rally- great job, Petter!
Tremendous drive by Loeb, Ugh! Man, it's gonna be a tough year. (Speaking selfishly, I hope lots more Citroen "sumpguard"/skidplates fail... :lol: )
Hey- I missed the very beginning- what were they saying about FIA officials meeting? Something to do w/ a penalty for Loeb changing engines?
Atkinson looked awesome!
Morgan- you've outdone yourself; fabulous photos of both the cars and the women. :D

His team was fined $10,000 for changing engines instead of a time penalty.
