Speaking of spoilers, the worst mistake I ever made was signing up for the FIA World Rally and FIA F1 Newsletters. I'm always reading the damn newsletters before I have time to catch it one speed. You'd think I would learn, but no... Thanks for the reminder though, WW.

The SWRT really needs to score consistently in the remaining rallies.

I LOVE that car. I don't think it is Russian, but it is definetly from the Eastern block. I think Skoda's parent company is actually VW, believe it or not.

p.s. ever notice how different the Skoda's engine note is than any other rally car? I wonder why that is...
