WRC MEXICO 2012

[wagon dec]

round 3 of the wrc a very high altidute rally and very technical usually a lot of casualties and this one was no different the biggest of those was jarri matti latvala who rolled his car and was unable to continue in the rally as his roll cage was damaged the winner in the end was loeb with new team mate hirvonen second, petter solberg was third ,the big news was chris atkinson made a return to the wrc for this event with the monster world rally team and was up to seventh until his brakes failed and he lost a suspension and was out ,excellent rally

Good man Dec, thanks for the update just dipped in and out of wrc.com a few times but hadn't heard about the crash test dummy. Ah maybe I'm too hard on him, delighted for petter really hope he gets a win this year

What happened to ken block in the end did he finish the rally I only seen day 1 + 2 what do u think of him? He took one jump flat in 6 compared to all the rest slowing down for a good clean jump.

think peter solberg was also flat out on that jump and had a slight nose dive . ken who ??? glamour model driver imo good at making videos but dont seem to have the skill when it comes to flat out rallying , too many crashes like the one 30 sec after start of stage in tunnel , looked a bit embarrising tbh .

seemed to be a few more crashes than usual and a punishing rally in general . seen chris atko with a wheel ripped off his car after end of stage "i believe", said he was in 6th and brake pedal sunk to floor .
