Miniatures of Juan Manuel Fangio and a flying Tommi Makinen

New Zealand 2006


MARCUS GRONHOLM WINS, MIKKO HIRVONEN 2ND AND MANFRED STOHL 3RD. THIS RESULT ENABLED FORD TO TAKE THEIR FIRST CONSTRUCTORS' TITLE SINCE 1979 - FAIR TO SAY THAT THEY ARE WELL PLEASED, ESPECIALLY AS THEY WERE ON THE POINT OF PULLING OUT OF RALLYING ONLY A SHORT WHILE AGO. ON TO THE LAST RALLY OF THE SEASON WHERE, WITH ALL THE TITLES SETTLED AND THUS NOTHING AT STAKE, TEAMS AND DRIVERS WILL JUST BE ABLE TO GO ALL OUT TO WIN THE RALLY - SHOULD MAKE FOR AN INTERESTING END TO THE SEASON.
