Thread: Jordan Rally 2008 (WRC)

Oops..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:

Code:

 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:

Code:

 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
