Rally Argentina / Rally review
Some good results, some less so…
Mikkelsen dropped out of the top classification after an alternator belt slipped
off, and ended in seventh place by the
end of the day. So before the Saturday
start the situation was as follows. Latvala
in the lead followed by Ogier. The good
news was for Kris Meeke. A bit to his
own surprise he was in third place. The
following drivers also had something to
prove and were doing that. Elfyn Evans
was back after his roll in Portugal holding fourth, Robert Kubica was in sixth.
“I need to finish here so I’ve released
myself of some stress”. Just before Mikkelsen we find Martin Prokop. But hey
we’re missing some people. First both
Hyundai drivers were hampered by all
kinds of technical issues. Sordo was
the first to be bothered and Neuville followed later in the day. Mikko Hirvonen
was amazed how he could have made
such a mistake, but he was out of the
rally after hitting a wall. Another one we
miss is Mads Østberg. Early in the day
he went over a crest, landed heavily
and was thrown of the road against a
rock, damaging a front left wheel
