Petter Solberg set the fastest time in 6.2 km test near Loutraki who choose 13 starting position. Second in the test was his teammate Jari-Matti Latvala.
Petter says: It’s good to be first, very important in fact. The car works well and we should be strong for this rally. I feel confidant and think I will start further down. Even when it’s raining it dries very quick when it stops. The best choice is to start further back for sure.
I think that this is the best position. If it is raining, it will dry quickly. The team is in top form and I think that this is our Rally."
Latvala: “There was one corner when I thought I was in first but I was in second and I pulled third by mistake. The engine died just a tiny bit on the uphill but I quickly got it back. We only lost a couple of tenths but after a long time out of the car this was a good boost.
I am starting behind because we are counting on a dry Rally and the road will be clean."
Loeb: "We are expecting not a lot of rain so we are prepared to start behind."
Hirvonen: "Luckily we are not too far from Petter, Jari and Sebastien, although our QS was not so good."
Novikov: "I am happy. We want to start as back as possible."
