WRC Rally Sardinia Results & Pics

AllMotorKing · 05-19-2008, 12:14 PM

The finish ceremony of the Rally d'Italia Sardegna this afternoon alongside Porto Cervo's Marina Vechia saw Sébastien Loeb, Daniel Elena and their C4 WRC claim top prize in the sixth round of the 2008 World Championship. The second Citroën Total car finished fifth in the hands of Dani Sordo and Marc Martí. Today's result takes the reigning champions' total to a record 40 world class wins and sees them move to within three points of the provisional championship lead, while the gap at the sharp end of the Manufacturers' standings remains unchanged.

Despite the return of sunshine and warmer weather, the last leg of the event was no holiday, although healthy pressure reigned in the Citroën Sport camp as the squad's two crews set off for the day's five stages totalling 78.57km in a bid to achieve their respective objectives.

With their closest chasers just 29.4s behind, Sébastien Loeb/Daniel Elena knew exactly what they needed to do: "We'll be first on the road again," detailed Seb, "so there's every chance we will see the same scenario as yesterday…". Indeed, the Frenchman dropped 10.3s on SS13, "which was slow, narrow, and very bumpy in places," he later reported after achieving the exploit of posting the fastest time on the following test: "We gave it everything we had on SS14. We put off our braking to the last possible moment and profited from the wider, faster road which probably had less surface gravel."
