Abarth Punto Beats Skoda S2000 and WRC Cars on Rally GB

Bernard Sousa's Abarth Punto S2000 stunned crowds this weekend by finishing 15th in this years Rally GB.
Sousa's fantastic Abarth sounded like an angry chainsaw as it cut through the tricky Welsh stages beating the Skoda S2000 car of Sandell and WRC Ford Focus entrants of Dennis Kuipers and Works driver Khalid Al Qassimi.
Humble pie for the irritating female commentator who made an ill advised (FIAT - fix it again tomorrow) joke.

Great pictures as usual Michael - thanks for posting them.

Wonder if you can recreate the look on a roadgoing Abarth? I was thinking of the colour scheme rather than the flying through the air bit - which I know is possible, if ill advised..............!!

Regards, Gavin.

P.S. Are you going up to the NEC this year Michael?
