A bit of a snoozer this past weekend in Catalunya with Citroen drivers Sebastien Loeb and Dani Sordo taking a 1-2 finish. Mikko Hirvonen managed to sneak in a 3rd place finish w/ fellow Ford Works driver Jari-Matti Latvala coming in 6th.

Other notables include good showings for Petter Solberg in his new Citroen C4 with a 4th place finish and Citroen junior team driver Sebastien Ogier who came in fifth.

The Driver's Championship comes down to the last rally of the season at the Rally of Great Britain (Oct 22-25th). Hirvonen leads Loeb by 1 point and this one is going to be for all the marbles. Here are some pics from Catalunya. More photos here!

 

Excellent pics.....

 

I should have my pics up by the end of the week/weekend.

Got them up here: http://www.rallydecals.com/kcpics/spain2009/ along with a series near the end with Paul Birds off. (What he claimed, and what happened, are 2 very different things...)

 

What'd he claim and what really happened?
