Here are some photos from this one. Petter banned after speeding on one of the transitional roads. As a result co-driver Chris Patterson took the helm and drove the end of the rally. They ended up in 5th place overall despite the unusual circumstances. Full detail and more images here.

Kimi's new livery

Where do you guys watch WRC events? I used to be able to download them from some guy's website... but he stopped uploading them.

Also with Petter being kicked out... what did the co-driver do? I assume he just had another person do the pace notes? Or did Petter end up reading the notes? lol

I'm sure they change out the suspension depending on the course/terrain they'll be running.

yes it is normal. in the snow set up the suspension is a softest and highest /ride hight/ out of all the settings. So the suspension can and does expand much easier to the limit if its is allowed.
