At the end of the second leg of the 2007 Rally Argentina, Sébastien Loeb, Daniel Elena and their Citroën C4 WRC top the provisional leaderboard, while Dani Sordo and Marc Martí follow in 8thplace.
After the troubled opening leg, which finally featured just two super-specials following the logistical problems encountered by the organisers during the return trip from Buenos Aires, serious business finally got underway today with a programme of nine stages totalling 159.6km. The morning’s loop took crews to the sierra around the villages of La Cumbre and La Falda to the north of Villa Carlos Paz before the route headed south for the famous stages of the Santa Rosa de Calamuchita region.
Météo France, one of Citroën Sport’s technical partners in 2007, had predicted that rain could be expected from Saturday and the weather indeed turned out to be wet. The combination of cool temperatures (between 14 and 16°C) and damp conditions left little doubt concerning the ideal choice of BFGoodrich tyres for the day: a soft compound and a ‘re-cut’ tread pattern.
