Rally reactions: Rally Argentina - Leg 3.

Sunday, 30th March 2008

"Believe me, it wasn't easy..." - Sebastien Loeb.

Sebastien Loeb [Citroen Total WRT]:

"Believe me, it wasn't easy. Given the delicate conditions, we had to stay doubly concentrated from start to finish. We also benefited from a faultless performance from our Citroën C4 which was once again competitive and reliable. Before coming here, we had been hoping that Rally Argentina would enable us to take the lead in the Drivers championship and score points for Citroën, and that's what we've done!"


Chris Atkinson [Subaru WRT]:

"It’s been such a hard weekend it’s more of a relief to finish! Another podium is fantastic for us and for the team, there’s nothing that motivates the guys more than a great result at the end of all the hard work. The feeling in the car was just so much more consistent this weekend and it was easier to drive so I was able to push without making any big mistakes. It’s clear we’ve taken some good steps forward with the car this year and it’s sort of a surprise for me to be third in the championship at the moment. It’s a real shame about Petter as he was going very well and we should have had two cars on the podium, but it demonstrates that we’re definitely moving in the right direction."


Daniel Sordo [Citroen Total WRT]:

"It would have been so easy to get caught out. It really has been a difficult event: a single bend could have compromised all the good work put in by everyone in the team and the chance for Citroën to close the gap in the championship. I am please to have finished third and my times were on a par with what I was hoping for."


Conrad Rautenbach [PH Sport-Citroen C4 WRC]:

"I can’t believe it! This is a little bit crazy! Fourth place on my first time in Argentina and only my second event in the C4. It’s taking a while to sink in, I can tell you. Last night I went to bed thinking about fifth place and what an incredible achievement that would be – and then we passed Petter [Solberg] in the Condor stage and I couldn’t stop myself thinking: 'Now we’re fourth!' I really had to focus on the road ahead and just keep on listening to the notes.
