2004 WRC - Mexico - Round 3

Emotions ran high this evening as the first world status Corona Rally México got underway in spectacular fashion in Guanajuato, possibly the most beautiful colonial city in the Americas. As ever, reigning World Champion, Petter Solberg added his own style of entertainment by driving from the start ramp with one foot on the accelerator and his body hanging out of the car while waving to the crowds from his all-new Subaru Impreza WRC 2004! Light rain failed to dampen anyone’s enthusiasm but the un-forecasted torrential downpour that followed in both Guanajuato and León is sure to add ... read on a new dimension to what will already be an immense challenge for the crews. In the stages high in the mountains above the city, the previously dry roads are sure to have changed dramatically for the opening leg tomorrow, making the whole Mexican experience all the more unpredictable.
