Loeb Wins Again!
[ August 18th, 2008 ] By: Mark Ozimek Posted in » Ramblings
The WRC was tearing it up through the beautiful German countryside near Trier over this past weekend. The course has an interesting variety of surfaces; back-country roads that are covered in leaves and dirt on Friday, concrete roads on Saturday, and asphalt on Sunday. Through all this, the terrain varies from being in the woods to out in large fields to being in an old city. If you haven’t gotten a chance to watch the race, I highly recommend finding a way to watch it as soon as you can.
So what happened? Well, Loeb managed to snag 1st place in the first 13 consecutive stages! By the end of stage 13, he had a 43 second lead over Sordo in second place, who managed to stay in second place overall throughout the race, aside from temporarily losing it to Hirvonen in stages 5 and 6.
By the end of the rally, the podium was taken by Loeb in 1st, Sordo in 2nd and Duval in 3rd. Unfortunately WRC hasn’t made their official highlights video, but this one is pretty cool, and shows the German scenery well.
