Petter is still 2nd in Argentina

Petter in Argentina 2008, Copyright STI 

Another fantastic day in Argentina for Petter and Subaru. Petter is 2nd and Chris Atkinson is 3rd. Sebastien Loeb is still holding first position when day 2 in Rally Argentina is finished. – The stages are so muddy and slippery, but it’s good fun being out there when things are going so well!

Petter ended the day with 5 stage wins and was fighting in top 3 on the other 4 stages of the day. If this result should stay until the finish, this will be the first time since 2003 that two Subaru’s are on the podium. In Wales 2003 Petter was first and Tommi Makinen third.

Rally Argentina continues with 3 more stages Sunday. First car is on stage at 0913 local time.

Overall classification Day 2

1. Sebastien Loeb, Citroen
2. Petter, Subaru +1.19,6
3. Chris Atkinson, Subaru +2.08,5
4. Dani Sordo, Citroen +3.32,3
5. Rautenbach, Citroen +18.00,1
6. Mikko Hirvonen, Ford +24.44,5
7. Andreas Aigner, Mitsubishi +25.27,2
8. Federico Villagra, Ford +25.53,4

    This is fantastic for Petter and Subaru!

    This has been one of the best weekends in rallying since Mexico 05.
    Hopefully it will propel Petter’s season, and with Petter the only one with experience in Jordan, he could get a good result there as well.
