JORDAN RALLY 1 – 3 APRIL 2010 FIA SUPER 2000 WORLD RALLY CHAMPIONSHIP (FOR DRIVERS) ROUND 3 of 10 Two in a Row for Xevi Pons I JORDAN RALLY 1 – 3 APRIL 2010 FIA SUPER 2000 WORLD RALLY CHAMPIONSHIP (FOR DRIVERS) ROUND 3 OF 10 STATISTICS 1.

EV ENT SUMMARY Two in a row for Xevi Pons in Jordan In Jordan Rally, his second event of the season, Spanish Ford Fiesta driver Xevi Pons and his co-driver Alex Haro took their second win in a row in the 2010 FIA Super 2000 World Rally Championship. Despite not having tested since México, Pons was the only S-WRC driver not to retire on any day of the three day event. He only claimed three stage wins (SS5-7), but Pons’ consistency and increasing familiarity with his Fiesta scooped him a comfortable win and 25 accompanying S-WRC points. With a maximum 50 points, he now sits comfortably at the top of the S-WRC leader board. Against the odds, Norwegian Eyvind Brynildsen came in a clear second ahead of fellow Škoda driver P-G Andersson (SWE), who took the last place on the podium. Despite finishing nearly 12 minutes behind winner Pons, Brynildsen was happy with his performance, after a rear differential problem forced him to miss the final stage of Day One and then complete the rally with the car effectively stuck in front-wheel drive. Swedish driver Andersson headed up the rest of the S-WRC field, only six of whom completed the rally, to take points after a weekend of mayhem. Seven retirements on Day One alone left Fiesta drivers Bernardo Sousa (PRT) and Pons battling for the top spot. Sousa snatched the lead on Day One, ending with a 12.7 second lead over Pons, but the two front runners sat almost 10 minutes ahead of the rest of the field. Early on Day Two Pons took the lead in SS10, but Sousa held onto his second place until disaster struck for him too following a technical problem in SS13. In trying to get back to the service park for repairs he received outside assistance in contravention of the WRC regulations. A subsequent steward’s enquiry led to his exclusion from the entire event. Polish driver Michal Koścuiszko, last year’s J-WRC runner-up, benefitted from Sousa’s misfortune, promoting him to second place at the end of Day Two. However, Koścuiszko rolled his Fiesta in SS16, early on Day Th ree, For more information visit: For all S-WRC communication enquires please contact: www.wrc.com Katie Traxton, [email protected] landing on his roof. He was helicoptered to hospital in Amman, where a concussion was diagnosed. Co-driver Maciek Szczepaniak was unharmed however, but this premature retirement from Day Three dashed their hopes of a podium finish, leaving them without any much sought after points at the end of Jordan Rally. Reigning Middle East Rally Champion Nasser Al-Attiyah (QAT, Skoda) took the lead early in the event before he hit a rock and went off the road on SS5 causing him to miss stages on Day One, but he continued to finish a respectable fourth. 2. DRIVER QUOTES 1st – XEVI PONS (ESP): “It was perfect. It’s a surprise to do two rallies and have two wins. It’s a difficult drive here in Jordan, but a good result for us and for the team. The Fiesta get s better every rally. ” 2nd – EYVIND BRYNILDSEN (NOR): “We didn’t have too many big problems, just the retirement on Day One and the rear differential on Day Two. I stuck to the middle of the road and I hoped I could win, but Xevi [Pons] didn’t go off li ke the other S -WRC drivers! ” 3rd – P-G ANDERSSON (SWE): “I'm really happy! The car was really good over the weekend and I think we showed that we are very competitive this year. It's a shame that we had to retire on the first day otherwise we could have f ought for the victory. ” 3.

Before I underline the team’s hopes and expectations for this event, I wish to acknowledge all the hard work that’s gone into putting on this rally in such a short amount of time. The efforts of AKK Sports and all the volunteers, particularly in the context of COVID-19, has really impressed me so a big thank you to them. It’s fair to say we showed our limits on Rallye Monte-Carlo and found ourselves licking our wounds and trying to get ahead. Unfortunately, it didn’t work there and after making some changes to our approach we start the second round of the season hoping it will be much better than the first. Having wished a fond farewell to Carlos del Barrio after Monte as he prepared for the next chapter of his career, we are pleased to welcome back Craig and Paul for the start of their half-season campaign in a Hyundai i20 Coupe WRC. We know very well their ability and determination as they try to make a strong start to their season. As well as our regular World Rally Car drivers, we are giving a big chance to a really promising youngster, Oliver Solberg.

  • Factbook 2019 Wrc Factbook 2019 / Prograde Photo of the Year Wrc Factbook 2019 / Intro
    FACTBOOK 2019 WRC FACTBOOK 2019 / PROGRADE PHOTO OF THE YEAR WRC FACTBOOK 2019 / INTRO WRC FACTBOOK 2019 The 2018 WRC season will be remembered as the most exciting and dramatic in a generation. It is 15 years since a drivers’ title fight of similar magnitude and a compelling season-long battle involving three drivers was finally resolved on the last morning of the season in Australia. It was a similar story in the manufacturers’ championship. All four teams won rallies and three made the long journey Down Under still with an opportunity to claim the crown. Following a similarly enthralling and unpredictable 2017 cam- paign, when new-era World Rally Cars headlined a raft of major changes to the championship, it is clear our sport is in the midst of an unforgettable period in its history. Away from the close competition, the WRC has grown in stature. The year opened with a major launch at Birmingham’s Autosport International show and finished with a glamorous end of season gala in Sydney and with the cars showcased once more in front of Milan’s iconic cathedral in the Piazza del Duomo. Our pioneering WRC+ All Live channel revolutionised the way in which fans could enjoy the sport as it happened. Every special stage from each round was streamed live, featuring stunning onboard and helicopter footage. It was supplemented by expert analysis and reactions from across the service park – adding up to more than 325 hours of live coverage. Our traditional TV coverage thrived too. The WRC’s global audi- ence and the number of broadcast hours continue their positive trend of the last years.
