Dani Sordo (Citroen C4) clinched victory in Arctic Rally in Finland. After he crashed out in the first day, Kimi Raikkonen (Citroen C4) was able to reach the finish line, far behind.

Sordo and Raikkonen were driving the two only WRC cars in the Arctic Rally, in order to prepare the Rally of Sweden, first round of the WRC championship, in February.

Sordo won quite easily, finishing six minutes ahead of Kosti Katajamaki’s Mitsubishi Lancer, and seven minutes ahead of Jarkko Miettinen (Skoda Fabia).
