Day 2 Rally Argentina
Day 2 in Argentina is completed, and Petter is 4th overall. Sebastien Loeb is leading the rally with his team colleague Dani Sordo 2nd. Jari Matti Latvala has climbed to third overall, a minute ahead of Petter. Mikko Hirvonen was forced to retire from the rally with engine problems.
- Today was not a very good day. It started with a boost-problem on the morning stages, and then we had a puncture on the first stage after the service and lost about 30 seconds. On the next two stages the engine was overheated, but we survived that to. And finally I had a big moment on the short stage before the stadium. 200 meters into the stage we just launched off after a crest, and I really thought that was it, but we got through that as well. It was unbelievable. After that I backed off a bit. I was really hoping to fight for third today, but now I’ve just have to work to keep the fourth.
Rally Argentina continues with 5 more stages Sunday. First car is on stage at 0848 local time.

Good to see you are giving it to the big boys/teams Petter. So nice to see you doing it on your own, stay with it, you have got what it takes to make it. I will hopefully see you in Australia when the WRC comes.
My heart is with you, you have the patience and the skill to win.
Best of wishes, may I suggest a snake for the next briefcase
