Loeb takes the lead at the end of Day 1 with 30+ secs lead on the nearest, making a good position for the remaining 2 days on tarmac.

Petter Solberg, & Ken Block are out on the first stage hitting the same obstacle while cutting into a corner. Kimi Raikonen joins the retirement party too!

Local hero Daniel Sordo with the factory Mini team is down to 5th, followed by his team mate Kris Meeke in 6th.

A standing dust over stages takes all the blame..

Ogier and Latvala suffered punctures with a slight off-road excursions... Mikko stays at second, behind Latvala for stronger positions for Ford, unlike Citroen!

At the end of day 1, results are as in the below link.

Day 2:
Image

Loeb maintains lead with just over 27secs above Latvala at the EOD. Ogier picks up another puncture at the opening stage of the day & drops 1.5mins more down the leader. Dani Sordo won SS11 and proved his pace on tarmac, so does Latvala in SS09, SS10 and SS12.. not bad for the young finnish who is picking up well on tarmac, with Loeb impressed with his pace.

Final Day of the rally!

Loeb wins Rally RACC!

Image

Kris Meeke in his Mini WRC won the Power stage by just 0.2secs to his team mate Dani Sordo and 4.9 secs to Loeb! Incredible for the new comer! It is also his first WRC finish.

Daniel Sordo finishes 4th overall in his home country.

Both Ogier and Mathew Wilson retired at SS17, due to engine failure and off-road damages respectively.
