Gronholm identifies weak spots with 307.

Peugeot team leader, Marcus Gronholm has said that while the speed of the 307 WRC is good on fast stages, they still need to keep plugging away in order to ensure they can match Sebastien Loeb in the slower and twister stuff.

The Finn, who came home second Sunday in Argentina, after what was arguably his best performance of the year, added that while the result was 'ok' - it could have been 'better'.

"This has been a good rally for us and second place is always a satisfactory result, but I think that I should have been closer to Sebastien Loeb," he continued.

Peugeot team leader, Marcus Gronholm has said that while the speed of the 307 WRC is good on fast stages, they still need to keep plugging away in order to ensure they can match Sebastien Loeb in the slower and twister stuff.

The Finn, who came home second Sunday in Argentina, after what was arguably his best performance of the year, added that while the result was 'ok' - it could have been 'better'.

"This has been a good rally for us and second place is always a satisfactory result, but I think that I should have been closer to Sebastien Loeb," he continued.

"The car was very good over the fast and wide stages, but not so good over the slow and bumpy sections, where we still have a lot of work to do. Our tyre choice was exactly right for most of the time, and I think we did the best job that we could under the circumstances."

Gronholm's co-driver, Timo Rautainen echoed the same sentiments and predicted that there could be a big fight in Finland, the next event on the schedule.

"I hope this is not the last good rally of the season for us and I hope we can do better," he added.

"When we were on the faster, wider roads, we were closer to Sebastien. I'm not saying we would be faster, but at least we could match his speed. If you look at the coming rallies, the next one [in Finland] could be even more of a fight between these three guys [Loeb, Gronholm and Petter Solberg]. Let's hope that one day still this year we will beat him."
