SS9: Ogier gets comfortable

Sébastien Ogier (Citroen C4 WRC), who has shown more than once that he is very effective on asphalt, widened the gap on his pursuers by setting the second fastest time on SS9. This super special, contested on the asphalt of downtown Istanbul, was won by Sébastien Loeb (Citroën C4 WRC), four tenths faster than Sébastien Ogier. The latter consolidates his leadership position, pushing back Dani Sordo (Citroën C4 WRC) to 5??5. Mikko Hirvonen (Ford Focus WRC) is still third, now 12”2 behind.
