Mikko Hirvonen was fastest on Wales Rally GB Shakedown at Penllergaer Forest. Hirvonen was just under a second faster in the Ford than Petter Solberg’s Subaru  over the 3 mile test.
Citroen’s Sebastien Loeb was 3rd fastest with his team-mate Dani Sordo 4th and Jari-Matti Latvala was fifth in his Ford Focus. Sebastien Ogier set tenth fastest [...]

Solberg quickest again after showing similar pace on Mexico and Sweden’s shakedowns. Must be good psychologically for Subaru and lets hope can carry pace throughout event as did in Mexico. Must be D.R. effect, coupled with damper modifications, anyway good for WRC if Subaru competitive again.
