Rally Mexico coming up
From the snow and the cold in Sweden, the WRC are now heading overseas to sunny Mexico. Petter is flying into Mexico and the city of Leon on Friday, to get prepared for the fast gravel stages in the Mexican mountains.
In 2007 we had a lot of expectations as Petter and Phil started Rally Mexico with a brand new car. And it started fantastic, with 3 stage wins. But later in the rally they had to retire due to engine problems. Still, this is a rally that Petter enjoys, and with a second place in 2006 and victory in 2005, it is likely that they can score more points in the championship. Sebastien Loeb won the 2007 Rally Mexico.
With 2 of the 15 events of the 2008 Championship finished, Petter is 4th with 9 points, and Subaru is second in the Manufacturers Championship.

1. Mikko Hirvonen – 16 p

Petter, The best of the best wishes for Mexico, I’ll be there hoping you get those 10 points. Felicidades y ¡a ganar, Petter!
