Kuipers also a good start for him
The rain stopped Ford drivers to battle for Rally Germany.
After the fantastic start of Ford driver Jari Matti Latvala follow the disappointment on stage two. Ford drivers have again problems with the strategy. The weather conditions changes but the Ford has no idea at the beginning of the race. On the second stage Grafschaft Veldenz 1 - 22.47 km the ford drivers loses 39.1 and 32.5 seconds by the new leader Sebastien Ogier with Citroen DS3 WRC. Second place is for the world champion Sebastien Loeb at +1.3 sec. Third place for Hirvonen, forth for Latvala, fifth is Sordo with MINI at +50.2 and sixth is K. Meeke at +59.9.
Interesting strategy by Citroen. Obviously it works though!
All the front runners will probably use softs for SS3 as they can change them at the remote refuel.
Are you sure? Only what they have in the boot. No extra tyres allowed.Quote:
