Rally of Portugal 2011: the play perfect comes to Citroën

 Yesterday we mentioned that strategies had reappeared in the world of rally, after the two Citroen yesterday lifted the foot to pass to the Ford and that cleared them the runway. We also knew that Jati-Matti Latvala had tried to do the same, but a communication with his co-driver mistake left him the lead and the difficult ballot during the day of the first exit to the sections.
Thus it has been shown in the first special of the morning, where the French cars have been razed to the ground with the competition and they have placed themselves on the back of the leader, after beating an erratic Mikko Hirvonen conformed with the fourth. Mathew Wilson, who is completing a consistent rally, also exceeded Henning Solberg in a worthy fifth place.
However the controversy would come in the next section. After a prick of Hirvonen, in which he lost almost two minutes, Sebastien Loeb was the cloud of dust left by the Finnish of Ford and I had that lift the foot leaving in that stretch more than half a minute with respect to the time marked by his teammate.

Ogier was still in its task of harassment and shooting down, beating Latvala in the two sections which closed the first loop, stood as the new leader of the Rally. Jari-Matti went on to be second, while a Loeb still in no man's land is located in the last step of the podium. Note finally that the Mini of Armindo Araujo had engine problems and although it remains in the race has been necessary to lower the rate to not break it.
