    Sat afternoon update. One stage left to run this evening.

    Dani Sordo (in his Ford) still holds 3rd. Araujo is 9th but only 0.6sec ahead of Solberg so likely to drop to 10th this evening. Salazar is 15th and Nobre is 21st.

    Short 13th stage is over, that's it for Saturday. Araujo lost his 9th place overall to Solberg and is now 10th, no other notable changes.

    Heartbreak for Dani. He stuck to the program and took no risks so he could maintain his 3rd place to the end to maximize manufacturer points for Ford and then...

    I know there's something lost in translation, but reading this line of the report was a real LOL moment for me.

    My instinctive reaction was, "You Bozo! Rather self-inflicted, don't you think?" :wink:

    I agree with this summary. On the other hand, they don't all need to be endurance rallies. Variety in rally type will keep drivers and teams on their toes and add unpredictability. It will also ensure the WRC isn't dominated by any particular type of specialist, the same way alternating between hard and loose surfaces from one rally to another keeps either asphalt or gravel specialists from dominating.
