Peugeot still use the 206's in rally?  Forget what Citreon uses.  Ford doesn't do that bad.  Martin is good.

Its a GPS transponder so that race control can know where they are on stage. If the car rolls it automatically sends out a "distress" signal and aid is sent. The distress signal can also be sent without the car rolling from a switch on the dash.

Ford and Subaru are well ahead of Peugeot in the points.  Citroen is ahead of everybody, but this is as much a result of good luck and good drivers as it is a result of the car.  Mitsubishi is out of it, but it's very close between the other four teams on any particular stage.

Just as a side note, in the original full size version of that photo you can see the distance markers on the side of the road, Martin jumped over 50 meters, half a football field.

Yeah WRC drivers I believe are probably the best in the world, followed closely by F1.

Anyone see Hockenheim this weekend? Granted another Michael victory, but the racing for 2-9 was pretty good most of the time.
