Rally San Marino woe for impressive Salo
Salo’s misfortune promotes his fellow Finn Jarkko Nikara into fifth place
Juha Salo has retired from fifth place on Rally San Marino, round seven of the all-action Intercontinental Rally Challenge.
The seven-time Finnish champion, back in the IRC for the first time since the China Rally in 2008, had impressed having only sampled his M-Sport Ford Fiesta S2000 on a handful of runs of shakedown before Friday’s opening stage got underway.
However, following a spin on stage nine, Salo was forced to stop on the road section heading to stage 10 when his car developed a water leak.
Salo’s misfortune promotes his fellow Finn Jarkko Nikara into fifth place with Hungarian Gergély Szabó up to sixth position.
