After the BMW/Mini/Prodrive debacle, the 'Works' Mini WRC team is now led by Armindo Araújo. The young Portuguese driver finished in a very respectable seventh position and he continues to steadily progress along the WRC learning curve. Canon EOS 7D, 135mm, ISO:200, 1/500th sec @ f7.1

It is midway through day-6 of the 9 day event and the winner Bjorn Waldegard sits stoically in his battered Porsche 911. This car has just had a large section of the roll cage replaced because of extensive damage sustained after Bjorn lost control in a slippery mud-hole and hit a stranded truck. The repair was expertly effected by the Tuthill Porsche team, who cannibalised a retired 911 to repair Waldegard's version in real African 'back-street-garage' style. Incredibly only 41 minutes in road penalties were lost.
Jari-Matti Latvala took his 1st win of the year.
