Rallye de Espaņa kicks off tomorrow and is sure to be an amazing showcase of speed, precision and burnt rubber.

Some the fastest tarmac stages rally can offer, a definate fan favorite of many, it will be interesting to see how the weekend plays out.

Sebastien Loeb is clearly the favorite going in, but Dani Sordo would love to make his mark on his home event.

Mikko Hirvonen knows he is still behind pace on tarmac compared to the Citreon drivers, I am sure he will bring his all as he tries to keep competative with Loeb.

The big story is Latvala dropping back down to Stobart making room for Francois Duval to come up and compete for some much needed manufacturers points. Duval is known for his tarmac skill and will be looking to bring home some solid points this weekend.

All in all this event is one worth watching, even if tarmac is not your thing, Rally Spain will give you some new perspective as to what rally on tarmac can be like.

Today was the Shakedown at Rallye de Espaņa 2008.

Loeb was the fastest on the shakedown, which as a 3 time consecutive rally winner it is really no surprise...

Seeing Andreas Mikkelson on the shakedown was another story. This young Norwegian has definitely grabbed the international rally world's attention. It will be interesting to see if he can score some points this weekend.

I am pretty stoked to see how Duval does. I always like rooting for the underdog.

I mean the championship gets a little boring when Loeb seems to walk away with every victory...

Honestly rally on straight TARMAC is #*($% Amazing!
