Oops.:o.Rally of Jordan is going on atm and Sordo is leading there. Loeb had to retire because they collided with Conrad Rautenbach after the SS11 was ran.

Loeb was involved in a head-on accident with fellow Citroen C4 WRC driver Conrad Rautenbach on a road section close to SS11. Nobody was injured in the accident, which happened on a narrow, blind bend as Rautenbach was approaching the stage and Loeb was leaving it. Both cars received heavy front-end damage in the crash and will be recovered to the Dead Sea service park. It is not yet know whether Loeb or Rautenbach will return as Superally entrants for Sunday’s final day of the competition. Situation after 12 stages:


1. Daniel Sordo Citroen 1.53.05,0
2. J-M. Latvala Ford +0,7
3. Mikko Hirvonen Ford +6,0
4. Chris Atkinson Subaru +1.52,7
5. Urmo Aava Citroen +2.38,7
6. Matthew Wilson Ford +4.07,7
7. Henning Solberg Ford +4.40,0
8. Federico Villagra Ford +5.40,1

EDIT

Hirvonen won the rally and regained the championship lead. Latvala broke his rear lateral link at stage 18 and was out from the podium after that. Before the accident he was running 2nd so 1-2 for Ford was really close. Ford had some really good tactics at saturday, slowing their drivers a bit so Sordo would be the fastest after day 2 and is forced to "clean the road" at sunday and that's what happend. Here are the final results:

1. Mikko Hirvonen Ford 4.02.47,9
2. Daniel Sordo Citroen +1.15,7
3. Chris Atkinson Subaru +4.59,5
4. Henning Solberg Ford +7.35,8
5. Matthew Wilson Ford +10.41,7
6. Federico Villagra Ford +11.22,2
7. J-M. Latvala Ford +12.15,6
8. Gigi Galli Ford +12.24,4

Bad luck for Loeb, but it's keeping him from running away with the championship! A few really close calls keeping it interesting!
