Just what is going on with Chris Atkinson? Within days of his crashing out in Portugal, the Australian’s co-driver
Glenn Macneall quit for “business and personal reasons” with a third of
the season already run. Whether or not Portugal was the deciding factor
is unsaid, but it may have been an incident too far.

After January’s exciting season opener at the Sno*Drift Rally in
Michigan, the field was wide open for the contenders at this month’s
event in Missouri. Recall that although Travis Pastrana and Christian
Edstrom of Subaru Rally Team USA won the January event, they won only
three stages of the rally outright. This championship is still very
much open, for the driver with the guts and skill to take it.

Yes, Subaru touched down in Mexico with the replacement for the
much-maligned WRC2006, which like an embarrassing relative will now
only be talked about behind closed doors out of earshot of the

What has felt like a century was really only half of last year’s rally
season for Subaru. Finally, the disastrous 2006 season is over and it
is time to move on. But to do that, SWRT needed a new car.

In spite of the mixed results, Norway was memorable for two reasons for
the Subaru World Rally Team – Petter Solberg at last had a chance to
show his countrymen what he could do on home soil while the Impreza
WRC2006 made its final bow before the WRC2007 was introduced in Mexico.

Petter Solberg’s fortunes fell as quickly as they rose in Sweden to
leave the SWRT frustrated at “what might have been” on the second WRC
event of 2007.
