Finland’s Jari-Matti Latvala, of Ford (picture), won the Rally of Great Britain, the 10th leg of the world championship, ahead of France’s Sebastien Loeb in Cardiff yesterday. Also victorious in last year’s race, Latvala led practically from start to finish 27.8sec ahead of championship leader Loeb, with Latvala’s Norwegian team-mate Petter Solberg a further 0.9sec back in third place. The result prevented Citroen from claiming victory in the constructors’ champion-ship, but both Citroen and Loeb will expect to be crowned cham-pions at the Rally of France, in Alsace, on October 4-7.
