The week after the Rally. Two end of record

 For the first time this season the world Rallye and the Intercontinental Rally Challenge matched in a weekend two so different tests such as the Rally of Jordan and the Canary Islands. However they have had much more in common than it initially appeared. The only two lasted two days, Friday and Saturday, and both were with the tighter ever end.
That if, between the Spanish and the appointment of the Middle East, there are certain differences in the organization. And it is that who would imagine that you would break twice the engine to the ship, catch them a storm on the voyage by sea and that finally the pilots had to rent cars to carry out the examinations of the Rally of Jordan.

As for the competition anything to reproach. Impressive end, with Latvala and Ogier separated by just two decimas in a rally that was decided in the power stage where a desfogado Jari-Matti lost more time which won with his aggressive driving. The face of the Finnish see time, and that he had therefore lost, it was all a poem. It must hurt to lose a race by a sigh and in the final stretch.
Although that was even more angry was Sebastien Loeb. The Alsatian showed their teeth during the Friday, but Saturday ran out of options after an error. The most striking is that the heptacampeon has hinted a black hand that towards that his Citroen DS3 WRC was rapid in rapid areas, but very slow in areas of low speed. Will he be next Dani Sordo?
But no doubt the protagonist on Saturday returned to Petter Solberg. During the Friday commented in jest that Petter could still disappoint me taking an exit into one of the last sections. Said and done. The Norwegian turned out in a change in ground level, for the second time in the season, and was again a zero in his locker which complicates even more their chances for the Championship.
In the IRC things were different in terms of what the competition concerns. The Skoda were dominant, only seeingmenazados at some point by the Peugeot 207 S2000 from the young Neuville. The Belgian very accustomed to seek "plots" when attacked, was able to calm down this time and take a good podium behind the official Fabia.
In is occasion Juho Hanninen managed to beat teammate Jan Kopecky in its field and a minimum benefit of 1.5 seconds. Perhaps if it fails to cancel the last section of the stage on Friday things would have changed as the Czech was finding more as to the Finnish Canary Islands overnight.
Very nice to also see Jonathan Perez who accepted the challenge of its 207 to comply with the rules of the IRC with 50 kg more than weight. So I said almost goodbye to the possibility of a good result at the national, but not avoided combat international terns.
