Overall – Rally of Turkey 2008
- I am quite happy with the result here in Turkey. With now have two rallies with the new car, and we’ve learned a lot.
Rally Turkey ended with an exciting battle for seconds on the final stage. Mikko Hirvonen managed to stay on top and won the rally. Jari Matti Latvala ended second and Sebastien Loeb third. Hirvonen is now leading the Drivers championship.
Petter kept his sixth position through out the weekend. He has been fastest on several split-times during the rally and says it proves how much potential there are in the new car. Chris Atkinson has been struggling a lot this weekend, and started under SupeRally-regulations both Saturday and Sunday. He ended 13.
Henning Solberg and Dani Sordo were also fighting for seconds on the final day of the rally, but Sordo managed to stay in the 4th position. Henning ended 5th. Gigi Galli withdrew from the final day, due to exhaustion and dehydration.
Next event is Rally Finland, 31. July – 3. August.

Well done guys, learning more about the new car is very important especially if you want to win!

Petter and Phil,
To be honest I think we all expected more, but anyway a good finish, and hopefully good results will start coming in the second half of the season.
I don’t know if you actually read these but if you do have a good summer and enjoy! Will see you in Germany in August!
