He won the RoC as well.

He probably won't win as many stages but I wouldn't discount his privateer ride for next year at all.

does anyone know what happened that caused the death of M.Park? those cars have insane roll cages and frames, WRC is very adamant about safety, what kind of accident was it?

These guys clink when they walk. My favorite race was when Marcus Gronholm rolled the car off the road and down the hill back on to the road farther down the hill. They he had to yell to the crowd asking them which direction he was supposed to be heading. Classic.

I only wish there was much better coverage in the US :( i cant even get info on the races on basic cable, and we only get 1 hour highlights on the speed channel if we pay for it.

Speed channel shows them all now. Well like 1.5 or 2 hour shows, can't remember, of each race. I pretty much got speed channel just for the WRC races.
