Unlucky Gronholm down to 5th
Latest news from SS15 of the Rally Finland. Click 'refresh' for an update
More bad news for Peugeot on SS15. Power steering problems and a penalty incurred in a service area have dropped Marcus Gronholm to 5th, now behind Colin McRae and seemingly out of contention.
Some timing systems giving Freddy Loix a fastest stage time 15s quicker than anyone else. Others suggest he was 7s off the pace on that stage, this sounds more logical...
Sebastian Lindholm, top privateer at the moment, failed to complete that stage, no news yet as to why.
These problems and others have allowed Toni Gardemeister to move up to 7th. SEAT are now well placed to capitalise on any more misfortunes among the top five.
