End of Jordan Rally 2010. Sebastian Loeb has taken his first win on the Jordan Rally, the only rally on the 2010 calander in the Middle East.
Last time out, Mikko Hirvonen took the win on the first running of the event, while Seb crashed into Conrad Rautenbach on a road section leaving a stage.
Jari-Matti Latvala finished second, with Petter Solberg finishing up in third. Solberg looked like he could challange for Latvala's second position, but in the end, the challange for second never happened.
Rounding out the rest of the top ten were Dani Sordo (4th), Matthew Wilson (5th), Sebastian Ogier (6th), Federico Villagra (7th), Kimi Raikkonen (8th), Henning Solberg (9th) & Xevi Pons (10th).
Saturday, the final day, comprised of 8 stages running over 105 competitive kilometers.
Over the course of the rally, Loeb won 9 stages, Solberg 5 stages, Latvala 5 stages & Sordo & Ogier at one win a piece.
Xevi Pons took the class win in the S-WRC by a phenominal 11 mins & 52 secs. Towards the end of the rally, the only drivers in contention for the win were Pons & Bernardo Sousa, but the latter was excluded by stewards for recieveing 'outside help' to get beck to the service park.
Patrick Flodin took the class spoils in the P-WRC by 1 min & 56.6 secs. Armindo Araujo challanged for first over the first leg, but made some set-up blunders & so fell behind Flodin. Flodin also had his own worries when the rear cross-member shattered with 5 kms left of the penulitmate stage. He completed the final Baptisim Site stage with two buckled wheels.
Next up on the WRC calander is Turkey, featuring in the calander for the first time in two years.
