Chris Atkinson missed out on a podium finish at Rally Australia by only 6 seconds.

It happened after Colin McRae had clutch problems this morning & the service crew had to pull out the Skoda Fabia's gearbox & clutch & reassemble it during a 20 minute service this morning.
IT was an awesome sight to watch 8O

Unfortunately, their was somethign wrong with the new clutch, a& as they were already one minute over service time, it couldn't be fixed & McRae had to withdraw.
It was a pity as I believe Skoda deserve a result after all the years they've put into the WRC.

That was an awesome drive by Colin McRae in a car that is some what inferior to all the other car out there in the competition.
