Argentine Federal Rally Championship - round 8
Carlos Levy
Walter Rodriguez
Rojas, Argentina - 13 to 14 September 2008
CARLOS LEVY, PUTTING HEAT ON THE CHAMPIONSHIP
On roads that in spite of their excellent previous state, deteriorated throughout the rally as a consequence of the lingering drought that affects this region, a new edition of the traditional Rally of Rojas took place on Saturday and Sunday. A rally with seventy participating crews, and amongst which Carlos Levy (Misubishi Lancer Evo IX) stood way out, a record man in participations at this rally. Levy based his victory on an extremely meticulous driving, to come in front of, with comfort, Walter Rodríguez (Misubishi Lancer Evo IX), being both now practically tied in the tournament, with only four more rallies to go. Daniel Marrocchi, this time returning to his old EVO VI of the N 4 2000 class, arrived in third place. (Special thanks to Carlos Varela for the info).
