Meanwhile all eyes focused on the performance of the Mini John Cooper Works that debutaban is tomorrow at the world of rally.

However the special third the Northern Ireland is out of track, including touch, something that left him out of the race with only three sections behind him, and when it was located in a valuable 4th position.

The Spanish has been much more conservative and is currently in eighth position, behind officers and some that another surprise in the form of private. And it is that to Petter Solberg will have crept ahead the Ford of Evgeny Novikov and Mads Ostberg which are even located ahead of Sebastien Ogier, which is currently fifth classified.
In terms of our compatriots of the WRC Academy, seems this time that they had taken calmly and both Lemes as "Rocket" are quite far from Craig Breen age is displayed as the fastest pilot of the category by far. Lemes after two tranches is ninth, while the Asturian is in the eleventh position.
