Oct 21: Subaru's Petter Solberg won the Rally of Corsica to leave the race for world championship wide open. Solberg finished 36.6 seconds clear of Citroen's Carlos Sainz, who edged past Francois Duval on the final stage. The result sees Sainz move three points clear at the top of the overall standings, with Solberg and Richard Burns - who finished eighth - tied in second place.

There are two rallies - in Spain and Britain - left this season. Defending champion Marcus Gronholm of Finland was fourth, while Britain's Colin McRae battled his way to fifth.
Citroen's Sebastien Loeb - who had been in second place in the overall standings - crashed out of the race in the rain on Saturday.
Solberg, who almost missed the race after crashing his Subaru in practice, admitted he owed his victory to the hard work of his mechanics.
"I think I've done an excellent rally under difficult conditions."
Sainz, who gambled on slick tyres on Sunday, closed to within 0.1 seconds of the Ford of Duval midway through the final day and took over second spot on the final stage.
"It all worked well for me and the team -- this rally was really tough because of the conditions," the Spaniard said.
"The most important thing now is to still be leading the championship after Spain."
