Citroën escape the exclusion in the Rally of Argentina


On Sunday night, once finished the Rally of Argentina, a News ran like wildfire in Villa Carlos Paz, headquarters of the South American test. Ford had complained to Citroen for taking an "alternative route" to which had been marked on the route. This could result in any situation the exclusion of the two official Citroen, since both Loeb and Ogier, and rumored that Solberg, took the shortcut to win a few segundillos.
The Commissioners finally decided not to undertake any penalty against the Gauls and against the organizers of the Rally of Argentina to decide that the particulars appearing in the book of route were not sufficiently clear or correct to avoid different elections. To sum up 5,000 € of fine and Mr Sebastien Loeb, which can continue to enjoy his victory.
The importance of this fact comes because the victory was decided by just 4 seconds and it is rumored that with saying "shortcut" the official Citroen could win between 6 and 7 seconds. You have not taken the balance could have been decided in favour of Mikko Hirvonen, who was finally second. No doubt both the organizers of the race and the drivers of the brand of the chevrones will be more careful next time
