In order to prepare the Tour de Corse WRC, Sébastien Ogier(C2 S1600)and Conrad Rautenbach(C4 wrc)are running this week-end the Rallye national de Corté in Corsica

After SS1 Rautenbach is second behind local driver Pascal Trojani(BSA whale)
Ogier is 30th, far behind the S1600 local driver Jean-Toussaint Albertini...maybe a problem or puncture or off ???

Fantastic pace by Sébastien Ogier after a double-puncture on SS2(he was 63rd and last of the participants)who finished...9th overall !!!!!

Answer for Tom206WRC-indeed Felice Re is an Italian Tarmac Champion(TRA) !!!
He was already a champ in 2006, last year it was a desaster with Fabia WRC, but this year he was unstapable....I'm very hapy for him, his co-driver and wife Mara and of course for a winning team Vieffecorse, who was responsible for Xsara WRC.
I hope he will selebrate his titel in Monza Rally show in mid-November, with a lot of smoke under the tyres...

It's exactly the opposite wrc and A8 cars will stay in 2009 and can fight for the overall championship!
