Missed victory chance hurts 'like hell'
Petter Solberg has always enjoyed the Acropolis Rally and was fast last weekend, but then it all went wrong while he was chasing old foe Sebastien Loeb, as he tells AUTOSPORT in his regular column
This long left is tightening. Tightening. The bank, we've hit the bank on the right. Over the road and bang. Bang. The left-rear is gone. We're out. Finished. I'm devastated. Hurting like hell. Hurting for everybody.
Last week's Acropolis Rally was not good for Chris [Patterson, co-driver] and I. I was pushing hard in my Fiesta RS WRC to try and catch [Sebastien] Loeb when it went wrong. I tried to take a little bit too much speed through a fast left and that was it.
