FIA Press Release

Sunday, 25th November 2001

Subaru driver Richard Burns is the new FIA World Rally Champion,
after the Englishman finished third overall on the Network Q Rally
of Great Britain this afternoon. Burns and navigator Robert Reid
were happy to let the outgoing champion Marcus Grönholm and his
co-driver Timo Rautiainen claim the rally victory, ahead of fellow
Peugeot driver Harri Rovanperä. Peugeot's one-two success capped
the French marque's victory in the FIA World Rally Championship for
Manufacturers.

Heavy rain made today's final four stages in the south Wales forests
treacherously slippery and with some of them being used for the
second time, many drivers hit standing water in some of the deeper
ruts. Overnight leader Grönholm and Burns merely consolidated their
pace, for while Rovanperä inched past the Subaru driver into second
overall, Burns knew that fourth or better would be enough to secure
his first world crown.

Where have you been, man?? Please read the sticky thread at the top!

man, how could you post about subaru related motorsports here, of all places. i try to stay in my cave until speedvision airs the rally in a month, but i come here because i want to flirt with subie gal and then i see you actually discussing current topics instead of waiting for everyone to watch speedvision and it makes me angry. very angry. furious even. ARRRGGGHHHHHH!!!!! it makes me want to KILL!

WHAT IS YOUR MAJOR MALFUNCITION :mad:




;) hehe, i couldn't resist :D

OK I'll do it for real
Thanks a F---ing bunch. I stay away from the main page because of the spoiler threat. I stay away from the stickies to avoid the spoilers. I guess now I'll have to stay away from the i-club all together. Spare me the good riddance crap too. I guess since this is the last race of the season I won't have to worry for a while, but as soon as next season opens. I won't be here anymore. Yeah I know the more posts this gets the more it'll stay on the board, but this thread pisses me off.

He did try to delete the thread earlier, but you can't do that anymore....
