ecome a slow driver overnight once he’d won
his world title, rather it was subaru that got left
behind as Ford and Citroen rapidly look over.
Much will rest on the Impreza WRC2008 to take
the fight back to sWRt’s rivals.
Ironically, solberg made a good start in Italy
ending the first Leg in third position. he complained
of damper problems after the morning’s
three runs but after changes at midday service
his speed improved immediately; he was third
fastest on the first run of the afternoon. by the
end of the day he had done enough to overtake
championship leader hirvonen in the order.
atkinson finished the morning in third after
three good runs; he was helped when Latvala
slid wide on ss2 to drop well down the order
and although he couldn’t match the leaders’
pace in the afternoon he held fifth overnight.
Leg two completely belonged to Latvala.
Down in 14th after his off-road excursion, the
Finn had clawed his way up to second by winning
all six of the day’s stages, leaving his teammate
trailing in his dust.
atkinson drove hard but he could not match
the pace of Ford and Citroen and had to be content
with five sixth fastest times over the day
that put him in sixth overall. solberg suffered a
puncture on the opening stage of Leg two that
cost him five minutes and any chance of a podium.
The norwegian finished Italy in 10th but it
was atkinson who, after another difficult day
on Leg Three when he failed to make the top six
on any of the stages, still managed to hold sixth
place and claim three valuable points. Lying
third in the drivers’ championship, the australian
is only 12 points adrift of Loeb.
With nine rallies still to run, can the
WRC2008 provide him – and subaru fans – with
something spectacular?
