Greece

6/1/2008 -- This year's Acropolis Rally, round seven of the 2008 World Rally Championship (WRC), turned out to be a gruelling marathon contested at the pace of a sprint. The final day not only saw Sébastien Loeb/Daniel Elena and their C4 secure the spoils but they have also recovered first place in the Drivers' standings. Dani Sordo/Marc Martí steered the second Citroën Total car to 5th overall, harvesting five points for Citroën which takes the French firm to within two points of the lead in the Manufacturers' table.

Driving privately-entered Citroën C4s run by PH Sport with the support of technicians from Citroën Sport Technologies, Urmo Aava/Kuldar Sikk (4th) and Conrad Rautenbach/David Senior (10th) also contributed to the Twin Chevrons' successful weekend in Greece.
