Recce has started in Ireland
For the first time Ireland is hosting a WRC-event. Rally Ireland starts with a superspecial in Belfast Thursday, 15. November. The drivers started their recce today. 90 cars are on the entrylist and since this is a new event for all WRC-drivers, we might as well see a local driver fighting in the lead. Norwegian Andreas Mikkelsen is well known on the roads surrounding Sligo, and we expect him to be pushing from the start. Henning Solbergs codriver this weekend will be Göran Bergström, as Cato Menkerud is home with his wife, waiting for their 2nd child to be born.
Petter is struggeling with sinusitis, but is hoping to get better before the weekend, eating c-vitamins and carlic.
Markus Grønholm is leading the championship going into this weekend, but only 4 points ahead of Sebastien Loeb. Petter is in 5th place, 4 points ahead of Henning who is 6th.
