The week after the rally. That advantage is acuesta…

 This week I have not expected much to make the post summary of the test of world Rallye. And it is that the three days of which comprised the Rally of Argentina have had their breadcrumbs. On Friday I was surprised with the spectacular pace of Jari-Matti Latvala. The Finnish has been preparing in recent years and has reached a level of maturity and steering that many would want for themselves.
Even the asphalt, which has long been their workhorse, seems to be fairly resolved. You just have to see the special last Friday to realise this. The Finn flew over Argentine roads despite having the settings of Earth and was seen at all times fully concentrated and confident of their chances. Since then was the surprise of the rally.

In the completely opposite side we could place Sebastien Ogier. It is the second time this season that the young star of Citroen makes a mistake during the first special on Sunday when he was first. On this occasion, and difference of in Mexico, higher than the 40 second advantage allowed him the opportunity to be able to manage with his pursuers.
This time he returned to betray the nerves and after an enganchon in a curve transformed his World Rally Car in a Citroen DS3's Street. Obviously with the damage that was carrying in his car and two genuine purasangres as Hirvonen and Loeb behind was hoped the final outcome. In the case of the Alsatian performance was much more impressive after penalising a day minute after a mistake of Daniel Elena.

Also worthy of mention is that the Ford returned to suffering numerous mechanical problems. In the case of Jari-Matti Latvala a new front suspension breakage left him out of play. Another Block or Villagra accused serious problems of differential. Let us hope that the brand of the oval know solve these problems because slowly give ground on the chevrones.
As for other issues to be followed, the public is also worthy of mention. The Cordoba Argentine, and in special viewers, populated the gutters of the rally. Data have indicated that the influx had increased by fifty per cent more with with respect to the 2009 Edition, obviously the comparison with the 2010 Edition, valid for IRC, is impossible.

The television also surprised me. Especially in the case of the power stage. The live, aided by current Copilot of Dani Sordo, Carlos del Barrio, improved a lot and also the theme for a single advertising cut of two minutes helped quite. Also was a coincidence that at the time a Latvala to attack was on the stretch, but the most important thing was to continue the fight live in the head. As conclusion… A spectacular Rally of Argentina.
