24 HIRVONEN Mikko, FORD Focus WRC 03

Really fantastic SSS! Unbelievable spectators.


61 PHILIPPEDES George - CLARKE Marshall SKODA Octavia WRC

Never start due to a mechanical failure. They managed to reach the TC and got a 3 minutes time penalty plus the fastest succeeded time. They are not confident if they will start at tomorrow’s first stage.



Comments from acropolisrally.gr

Great beginning in front of a fantastic crowd of about 70.000 spectators! Sebastien Loeb achieved the best time (2:15.4), followed by Mark Higgins by only 0.1” (2:15.5) and Markko Martin (2:16.3).
