In Ferrol, a puncture forces Vinyes-Mercader into second place among the 2WD´s.
Joan Vinyes-Jordi Mercader (Suzuki Swift S1600) broke their winning streak in the 42nd Ferrol Rally. A puncture on the first pass through Monfero-Monfero relegated them to second place of the Spanish Championship classification, in the two wheel drive (2WD) category up to 1600cc. Up until that moment Vinyes-Mercader had clearly controlled the Ferrol event, they had the best time of their category in all the special stages and the differences in time seem to be definitive, however... Moreover Vinyes-Mercader also managed to consistently remain in the top 10 of the scratch classification in a rally that was bound to be difficult and ended up being even worse than expected. This time, the Suzuki Motorsport driver finished 6th. The scratch victory in Ferrol was the Vallejo brothers´, who staged an amazing debut of their new Porsche 911 GT3. Jonathan Pérez-Enrique Velasco (Peugeot 207 S2000) and Alberto Hevia-Alberto Iglesias (Skoda Fabia S2000) were the other two teams on the podium.
