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.
