Survivor Cyprus - Outwit, Outlast, Outplay
While the Safari is now gone, in terms of roughness it has found its replacement in the Cyprus Rally. The rally claimed a huge number of retirements but a likely winner emerged on the second day in Subaru's Petter Solberg. Solberg took the lead from reigning World Champion Marcus Gronholm on the first stage of Leg Two and didn't give it back despite rally long pressure from Harri Rovanpera.
"This is brilliant!" enthused Solberg. "It's a fantastic result for everybody involved. Everything has gone to plan for the last two days. We had this plan for Greece, it didn't work there, but it did work here. I drove pretty carefully through those final three stages, listening for any noises on the car. It was perfect, like it has been all weekend. Everybody has been working so hard for this result, I would like to thank everybody involved in this victory."
Early on Leg One it was Peugeot who looked the goods with Rovanpera leading through the first three stages of the event with Gronholm pushing through the order after dropping significant time early acting as the third road sweeper. Gearbox problems surfaced in the cars of Rovanpera and Richard Burns late on Leg One. Burns would succumb to an engine failure after Stage 10 with Gronholm out in Stage 6, also a victim of the transmission saga. Rovanpera could not run flat out as the 206 was overheating in the incredible heat.
Markko Martin and Francois Duval both lost oil pressure after dust contaminated the engine internals of their Focus RS 03s in Stage 5. Gronholm retired with gearbox dramas in Stage 6. Freddy Loix lost his Accent with a dust-clogged engine in Stage 6. Toni Gardemeister drove his Octavia off a bank in Stage 9. Richard Burns also had his Peugeot gearbox fail in Stage 10. Tommi Makinen had a punctured wheel stick as he and Kaj Lindstrom tried in vain to remove the wheel before running out of late time between Stages 10 and 11. Didier Auriol's Skoda had its electrics pack up for the duration in Stage 11. Gilles Panizzi was lost with engine failure in his Peugeot.
The heart was cut out of the field, leaving Solberg leading from Rovanpera before a big gap back to the three Citroens, running reliably but off the pace. McRae had a suspension failure in Stage 10 but repaired his overheating car and returned to service for a more thorough repair. Mikko Hirvonen and Armin Schwarz were the final factory cars in the field, which itself had been whittled down to a mere 18 cars.
Into Leg Three and Solberg quickly doubled his lead over Rovanpera in the first three stages. Solberg slipped into cruise mode, with Rovanpera completely under control. Rovanpera broke a driveshaft forcing him to limp to the finish, his huge lead over the Citroens suddenly in doubt. Sebastien Loeb tried, but fell just under three seconds short of snatching second. The recovering Colin McRae was next ahead of Sainz in the third Citroen, and last of the front running cars to finish.
The championship chase has compacted with Burns now leading Sainz by a solitary point. Gronholm sits seven points adrift, but only one point ahead of Solberg. Six points behind are Martin, McRae and Loeb. This battle is far from over.
Result of World Rally Championship, Round 7 of 14, Cyprus Rally:
Standings: Richard Burns 37, Carlos Sainz 36, Marcus Gronholm 30, Petter Solberg 29, Markko Martin, Colin McRae and Sebastien Loeb 23, Harri Rovanpera 16, Tommi Makinen 15, Francois Duval and Toni Gardemeister 9 etc.
Fernandez First
Instead fellow CART veterans the Player's/Forsythe and Newman-Haas teams have asserted their authority in individual races while a Team Rahal pilot leads the series. This time at Portland, Fernandez ran at the front of the field with the two drivers who have held the points lead this year, Paul Tracy and Michel Jourdain Jr, and in the final stanza of the race Fernandez was able to outrace Tracy for the win.
In the first qualifying sessions, Jourdain earned himself a front row spot as top qualifier, but Tracy set the pole lap in the second session. Jourdain underlined his pace to share the front row on merit, with Fernandez and Sebastien Bourdais on the second row ahead of Alex Tagliani and Oriol Servia. After three attempts at a start the field was away, Jourdain getting the jump on Tracy, forcing his way into the lead with Fernandez into third ahead of Tagliani and the slow starting Bourdais. Servia was off track and rejoined in seventh. Jourdain quickly built a small gap which Tracy worked hard to chase down as the pair moved slowly away from Fernandez and Tagliani. Bourdais would not last long in fifth, pitting with handling problems on lap 13.
The yellows emerged only three laps later as Dale Coyne's new boy Geoff Boss had an off at turn 11. Jourdain immediately headed for the pits with the majority of the field in tow. It would not be a good couple of laps for Coyne's outfit as Gualter Salles started blowing oil the following lap and retired out on the course before making it back to the pits.
Tracy held the lead but had lost time and now had Fernandez staring down his gearbox. Jourdain lost more than that and rejoined from his stall a lap down. With the yellows removed again, rain began to fall. Behind Fernandez, Tagliani was now up to third ahead of Servia and Bruno Junqueira. Tracy was flying, moving away from Fernandez. Tracy had acquired a five second penalty for moving over into the fast lane too quickly at his last pitstop, right in front of Jourdain, and would be held at his next pitstop for those extra five seconds. By the time Tracy pitted again on lap 72 he had enough lead to stay ahead of Fernandez.
Momentum though had swung and Fernandez now had the eyes on and could see exactly how far away the lead of the race was. After a brief yellow on lap 82 for the newly wingless Gualter Salles, Fernandez pounced, diving up the inside of Tracy into turn one and was through. Next lap the yellows were back for the spin of series returnee Max Papis in the PK Racing Lola. Papis had spun after being collected by Rodolfo Lavin.
With Jourdain's poor result Tracy regains the series lead, with Junqueira vaulting to second, just four points behind Tracy. Jourdain sits four behind Junqueira but 21 ahead of Patrick Carpentier. The series makes its next stop in Detroit, Motor City.
Result of Champ Car World Series, Round 8 of 19, Portland, Oregon, United States:
Standings: Paul Tracy 99, Bruno Junqueira 95, Michel Jourdain Jr 91, Patrick Carpentier 70, Adrian Fernandez 63, Oriol Servia 58, Sebastien Bourdais 53, Mario Dominguez 51, Alex Tagliani 46, Darren Manning 42 etc.
Gordon 1-2, Robby Beats Jeff!
Boris Said, substituting for the still injured Jerry Nadeau and one of the road course 'ring-ins' featuring in the race, sat on the pole. Said held the lead at the start but was under pressure from the 'other' Gordon, Robby, as fellow road racer Ron Fellows lost places to Matt Kenseth and Kevin Harvick on lap one. Robby didn't waste any time however, taking the lead from Said at the sharp right hander at turn seven on lap two while Harvick took third from Kenseth at the hairpin at the end of the lap. Lap four and Harvick also moved past Said, as he and leader Robby Gordon began to pull away. Kenseth then made a mistake which also cost his teammate Kurt Busch time, allowing Fellows up to fourth as he moved right onto the tail of Said, taking third at the hairpin on lap nine, the same lap Bobby Labonte spun trying to pass Bill Elliott, dropping him over ten positions.
Up front Robby Gordon was opening up a margin on Harvick, who held a similar margin over Fellows at this point. As the laps wound on, Fellows closed in on Harvick before taking second from him on lap 26 at the hairpin. Dale Jarrett's day, which was mired down near 30th place, became even worse when he spun just before lap 30 losing a few more places, while soon after Jeff Gordon moved ahead of Kurt Busch into fifth place as Jeff continued his steady move up the order. Lap 31 saw the beginning of pit stops, with the leader Robby Gordon the first to do so. One of the last drivers to pit under these stops was Matt Kenseth, losing his left rear tyre just as he entered the pits, bringing out the caution on lap 37, Kenseth's tyre problem dropping him to 24th place.
Lap 55 and Bobby Labonte, already down the order after his pit stop, got spun at the hairpin by Mike Wallace, dropping Labonte to 38th place. At the front, there was soon action as Harvick dived inside teammate Robby Gordon at the hairpin on lap 57, passing Gordon but running himself and Gordon wide, allowing Fellows to sneak through and pass both of them to take the lead! The next caution came out on lap 59 as a result of Kyle Petty, who after being spun by Elliott Sadler at turn seven, resumed his race into oncoming traffic, leaving Jack Sprague and Steve Park with nowhere to go, the duo suffering major damage while Petty escaped almost unscathed. This was soon after he had pushed Jamie McMurray into Mark Martin, which ended up spinning Martin around.
Back to green on lap 62 but it was immediately back to yellow after Rusty Wallace got spun around the back of the circuit by Jeff Burton, Dale Earnhardt Jr suffering as well in the incident, both dropping back to around 30th position, a few cars pitting under the caution including Earnhardt Jr, Rusty Wallace, Bobby Labonte, Bill Elliott, Ward Burton and Johnny Benson. Back to green again on lap 65, some more action following on lap 66 when Kurt Busch tried to make it three wide into turn seven and failed, spinning himself, Pruett and Jeff Burton in the process in front of most of the field, with only a couple of cars suffering minor damage. Harvick and Robby Gordon immediately made pitstops as Dave Blaney's wounded car made it back to the pits, Jeff Gordon pitting a couple of laps later as several drivers pitted to make their last stops of the day.
Lap 76 saw Elliott drop a spot to Robby Gordon at turn seven, Gordon making up another spot to third as he passed Ward Burton at the start of the next lap, and then moving past Rusty Wallace for second two laps later, finishing off his string of passes to take the lead from Johnny Benson at the hairpin on lap 80. At about the same time, Harvick and Jeff Gordon moved ahead of Elliott, the duo passing Ward Burton soon after as Robby Gordon ran away at the front from Wallace who had moved ahead of Benson. Around this time Ryan Newman tipped Tony Stewart into a spin at turn seven, dropping Stewart from the top ten to 29th place, while Said and Fellows were back inside the top 20 as they moved up through the field. Lap 85 and Jeff Gordon was on the move, taking fourth from Kevin Harvick at the hairpin, doing the same to Johnny Benson for third a lap later, Harvick taking fourth from Benson soon after.
Lap 87 saw Jeff Burton spinning at the hairpin after losing it under brakes trying to pass brother Ward Burton for seventh. The next caution was brought out by Hideo Fukuyama who stopped in pitlane after coasting down from turn seven. Then just as the caution came out he got moving again! As they came back to the yellow, Fellows was spun by Jeremy Mayfield at the hairpin, dropping him from 13th to 19th, while Said was now up to 12th place. During this caution most of the rear half of the field pitted. Lap 92 and it was back to green, Robby Gordon leading the way as Rusty Wallace was under attack from Jeff Gordon, Gordon taking the place at the end of the lap, moving right onto Robby's tail just over a lap later, Wallace and Harvick closing in as well with Elliott not far away. Said was soon up to tenth while Fellows was also making his way back up the field again.

'Spiderman' Does The Double
Ruben Xaus hasn't exactly been known for his great performances this season. Running second in both of the races of the first two rounds, since then his performances have been a little bit up and down, a little too literally. But his performance at Misano was superb, taking two race wins despite having one of his trademark poor performances in Superpole this season, starting both races from twelfth. For once, Hodgson was less than perfect, falling from the lead of race one and being passed for the win on the last lap of race two. Mind you, the rest of his season has been pretty stellar, and though Hodgson's lead has been reduced, it still sits at a healthy 107 points with five rounds to go.
As has become customary, Neil Hodgson sat on the pole while his teammate Ruben Xaus started back in twelfth place. At the start of race one Vittorio Iannuzzo took the lead into turn one from his front row starting position, leading Neil Hodgson, James Toseland, Steve Martin and Regis Laconi. However Iannuzzo was too hot into turn three and lost the lead as he began a steady slide back through the field as Hodgson took over at the front, Laconi and Pierfrancesco Chili quickly moving past Martin. As they completed lap one Hodgson led by over a second from Toseland, Laconi, Iannuzzo and Chili. It seemed a case of how far Hodgson but exactly a lap after taking the lead Hodgson was out of the race, lowsiding at turn three. Meanwhile Laconi snuck past Toseland to be the new leader of the race, as Chili moved past Iannuzzo into third, as Xaus moved up to fourth by the end of lap three, these four riders breaking away from the rest of the field as they diced with each other.
Lap five and Xaus took third from Chili at the end of the back straight, the 999 Ducati showing superior straightline speed. Into turn one on lap six Toseland took the lead back from Laconi, with Xaus repeating his back straight move on Laconi to take second on lap seven. Turn one on lap eight saw Chili demote Laconi another place, falling from first to fourth in a lap, while at the front Xaus did it again on the back straight to take the lead from Toseland. Lap nine saw Toseland retake the lead into turn three only for Xaus to retake it on the exit, as Laconi began to drop off a little in fourth place into the clutches of the closing Gregorio Lavilla. Toseland repeated his turn three move on lap ten but pulled it off this time.
The top five steadied for a couple of laps before Xaus made his customary back straight move on lap twelve to retake the lead from Toseland. Meanwhile Laconi was back with the lead pack again as Lavilla fell back again. The top four were pushing each other hard, but no-one was able to make a pass until Chili took second from Toseland at the end of the back straight on lap 16. Chili was able to close right in on Xaus but wasn't able to make the pass. Lap 20 saw Toseland take second from Chili at the end of the back straight only for Chili to take it back as Toseland ran wide in the middle of the bend. After this move the duo gave Xaus an even harder time than before, but Xaus continued to lead until Chili dived through at turn three on lap 22.
As they exited the same turn a lap later Xaus was looking ragged as Chili had as big a lead as anyone had had all race. But Xaus expertly slid his bike through the two fast sweepers onto the back straight and was back into the lead at the end of the straight. This was bad news for those following Xaus, knowing that the easiest place to pass Xaus was followed by the easiest place for Xaus to take it back. One lap to go and the top three were as one, Chili looking but not able to make a move. Just when all the action seemed over Chili highsided out of second place and the race at the left hander at the end of the back straight, allowing Xaus to take the win ahead of Toseland and Laconi, Lavilla next up in fourth while Troy Corser in seventh scored the Foggy team's first top ten since the first race at round three at Sugo.
Race two and Hodgson led Iannuzzo into turn one, followed by Toseland, with Laconi quickly up to fourth before taking third from Toseland, Chili taking fourth soon after around the back of the circuit on lap one. At the tight last chicane Iannuzzo dived through into the lead but Hodgson was back in front as they completed the lap. Meanwhile Xaus was up to eighth, and over the next four laps gained a place per lap to be up to fourth after lap five, as right up at the front Laconi took second from Iannuzzo at the end of the back straight on lap two, Chili taking third from Iannuzzo at turn three on lap three and then second from Laconi at turn one on lap four. The leading three, soon joined by Xaus, were beginning to break away as Hodgson failed to make a break, Chili pushing him very hard, and Toseland was falling away in fifth place.
It took Xaus a lap or two but on lap ten he took third from Laconi into turn one, as his march to the front (again) continued. Chili wasn't able to slipstream past Hodgson so on lap eleven he snuck through past Hodgson and into the lead on the twisty section around the back of the circuit as Chili made it a pack of three, Laconi beginning to drop away. Now Hodgson was fighting off Xaus, allowing Chili to temporarily make a small break before the two 999s closed back in. On lap 14 Xaus's hassling of Hodgson paid off, taking him down the back straight, repeating the move on the next lap to take the lead from Chili. Lap fifteen also saw the end of Toseland's race, a misfire forcing him to call it a day early.
Having taken the lead, Xaus still had Chili and Hodgson on his tail however. Finally, after seven laps behind him, Hodgson took Chili into turn one on lap eighteen to move into second behind teammate Xaus, who had opened a small gap over the dicing duo but saw it steadily decrease to nothing over the next lap. Then Xaus ran wide on a bend around the back of the circuit and he fell from first to third just like that, Hodgson leading again. Lap 21 and Xaus used his favourite back straight move to take second from Chili, who in the dicing with Xaus, had dropped off the back of Hodgson and allowed a small gap to open up.
Less than five laps to go and Xaus slowly closed the gap, as Chili could fight with the two factory bikes no more, settling into third place. As they reached the end of the back straight on lap 23 of 25, Xaus was back with Hodgson. But he was just tracking him, possibly waiting to make a move on the last lap. Could he do it? Off turn three on the final tour, Xaus was a little further back than he may have hoped for, but he powerslid through the sweepers as he closed in on the back of his teammate onto the back straight. Hodgson pulled to the inside to defend but Xaus went past down the outside, taking the lead once more. Hodgson hadn't given up and pushed very hard, having a wobble in the last chicane as he couldn't stop his teammate Ruben Xaus from taking the double, Chili finishing third well clear of Laconi, as Lavilla filled the top five. Corser scored another good result claiming another top ten for the Foggy team.

Rally
What do you get when you imprison seventeen rally drivers and co-drivers, their cars, their crews, the resources of six major manufacturers and lock them together on an island seemingly made out of a collection of car destroying rocks? It is World Championship motor racing's version of the famous TV 'reality' gameshow. Only the course itself casts the votes, seemingly at random, to see who is voted off the Island.
On Leg Two, Subaru emerged fighting and everyone else had no answer. Solberg stormed away from the field, despite claiming to be running conservatively with only the overheating Rovanpera keeping the Norwegian in sight. The toll on the rest of the field was incredible.
Mikko Hirvonen brought the surviving factory Focus, an older, tried and true 02 version home next with Armin Schwarz bringing home the last of the works supported cars in seventh, scoring two precious points for Hyundai. A surprise championship point scorer was the pivately entered 02 Focus of Alistair Ginley. Group N cars filled the remaining places with Subaru getting the better of Mitsubishi in this battle, Toshi Arai taking the win ahead of another Impreza, that of Martin Rowe.

CART
Two years ago Adrian Fernandez invested in himself and started his own team. Results though have been sketchy. At times competetive, at times not so. And the low point last year at Surfer's Paradise as hell came to earth in a cold spray of rain and opaque visibility. With the thinner field running in CART this year Fernandez might have been expected to return to the front of the field more consistently.
Jourdain led the field from the pits and into the green, building a second and a half gap to the Canadian. Tracy would soon reverse the trend and would pull the gap in to under a second. The field returned to the pits on lap 44. The Team Rahal crew let Jourdain down however and to the cheers of the pumped Player's/Forsythe crew Tracy screamed out of the pits. Jourdain would not give in so easily and a lap later made his move forcing his way into the lead after several corners side by side but Jourdain was suddenly off track after a touch from Tracy.
At the restart Fernandez stood on the gas and Tracy had no answer, the Mexican beating the Canadian to the line by 2.3 seconds. Sebastien Bourdais' climb through the field was spectacular but went unrewarded, retiring from third place with eight laps to go. Tagliani had driven consistently to bring the Rocketsports car home third as the best of the new teams at the finish. Junqueira had overtaken Servia at the last round of pitstops and took fourth place at the line. Behind Servia was the developing Darren Manning, veteran Jimmy Vasser and the Conquest car of Mario Haberfeld. Jourdain had climbed back to twelfth at the finish, claiming the final point for the weekend.

NASCAR
Robby Gordon has competed in many series and won in most of them too. He added his first NASCAR road course win to that tally (having won on the New Hampshire oval in 2001) by holding off another Gordon, four time NASCAR champ Jeff, over the closing laps at Infineon Raceway. Along the way, however, there was a little controversy, Robby Gordon passing his teammate Kevin Harvick on the race back to the caution flag, legal but some may say not entirely fair. Meanwhile the road course racers Boris Said and Ron Fellows showed speed, and finished inside the top ten despite some bad luck. Despite not one of his best runs, Matt Kenseth still holds onto the lead in points, but Jeff Gordon's second place moved him into second place in the standings too and closed the gap on Kenseth, with Dale Earnhardt Jr slipping to third, though Kenseth and Earnhardt Jr's
late tyre stops saving them from finishing further down the order.
Meanwhile the green flag stops had shuffled the order a little at the front, Harvick getting back ahead of Fellows while Jeff Gordon was now ahead of Boris Said. Having just pitted, most of the field stayed out during the caution. Back to green on lap 41, the top four fighting hard as further back Rusty Wallace and Kurt Busch made contact, Wallace up to sixth while Busch began to fall back. Hideo Fukuyama ran off at turn seven and stopped, bringing out the next caution on lap 52. Tony Stewart, Bobby Labonte and Kenseth were among those who pitted during this short caution, dropping them down to the low twenties in the placings, the race restarting on lap 54. Scott Pruett, another of the 'ring-ins', had made his way steadily through the field and was now up to sixth place.
Soon after on lap 72 the caution was out again after Christian Fittipaldi, already well down after earlier troubles, spun into the tyre wall in the esses. It was at this caution where Robby Gordon passed Harvick coming back to take the caution, a move that although legal in NASCAR, is somewhat frowned upon, particularly by other drivers. Unfortunately for Fellows and Said in particular amongst several drivers, they had not pitted before the caution and fell from first and second to 22nd and 26th. The field was now led by Johnny Benson, Rusty Wallace, Ward Burton (who had car problems earlier in the race), Bill Elliott with Robby Gordon, Kevin Harvick and Jeff Gordon in fifth, sixth and eighth the best placed of the previous frontrunners as the race went back to green on lap 75.
Eventually the duelling Gordons opened up a gap, Jeff looking for a way past Robby but not able to find one. Then Jeff Burton spun out of eleventh place into the tyres at the esses, but was able to restart. A little further back Boris Said was now up to seventh place with 12 laps remaining, Fellows in tenth. Rusty Wallace was the next to suffer, dropping from third to seventh after running wide under brakes. 9 to go and Said was up to sixth, Fellows tenth. Still the Gordons duelled, and still Robby held on, and that's how it stayed to the end, Robby Gordon just beating Jeff Gordon, with Robby's teammate Kevin Harvick in third taking Richard Childress Racing to their best finish in a long time. Elliott held on to fourth ahead of Ryan Newman, while the road racers Boris Said and Ron Fellows ended the race in sixth and seventh, a great result considering they got caught out at the caution around two-thirds distance.
