All three Stobart VK M-Sport Ford team crews have successfully completed the opening stage of the 2007 Rally Argentina under the watchful eye of tens of thousands of fans at the River Plate Stadium in the country’s capital, Buenos Aires, tonight.
Henning Solberg/Cato Menkerud lead the way for the team after finishing in seventh position to the delight of the roaring crowd. Close behind are Matthew Wilson/Michael Orr in eighth while Jari-Matti Latvala/Miikka Anttila lie outside the top ten after dropping some time on the extremely slippery opening test.
The start was set for a big night, and it did not disappoint, as competitors raced side-by-side through the 70-year-old soccer stadium, under its pillars of history.
The warm temperatures were a pleasant arrival for crews who, after travelling to Buenos Aires via air during the morning, had a few hours free to experience the country’s capital before the commencement of the Super Special.
