WRC Corsica 2008: Results
[ October 14th, 2008 ] By: Charles Smith Posted in » Ramblings
Rally France (Corsica) was this weekend. Results were not too surprising (with one exception). Sebastian Loeb continued his domination with a podium finish over the weekend. However his teammate Sordo decided to ruin Citroen’s chances of yet another 1-2 finish by crashing. Sordo took a corner not so correctly and ended up in a rock wall. Taking Sordo’s place was Mikko Hirvonen giving him much needed points in the race for the championship (14 points off of Loeb overall). However his second place was a team effort as Francois Duval checked into the time control early, on purpose, in order to take a 2 minute penalty to push Hirvonen into 2nd, while taking 3rd for himself.
Petter Solberg, one of my favorite drivers, placed fifth in this event. He earned himself some much needed points to pull in Latvala for 5th overall (2 point difference). Here is a video of some of the highlights (wow they pump these videos out quick):
