Sanremo Historic Rally gave rise to the Rally of Sardinia fought in the north of the island that gives it its name. Main consequence of this change, the Rally of Italy became one of many rallies in the global land instead of traditional asphalt rally. This rally may be characterized as so many others in the world, the route is hilly, the roads are narrow and the starting order is always important since the first "clean" the floor for the following. Loeb has been giving chances to competition but where on earth there have Grönholm. Here again with Norwegian Petter Solberg who is always a candidate and has been improving during the year. This rally was on the road 19-21 May.
began the first day with Gronholm after the injury, won the first three special leaving Hirvonen and fellow champion Loeb more than 40 seconds. Loeb, who had come to climb the rankings in the morning, won the two following special approaching the Finnish and ended the day 35.4 seconds of the leader, who eventually won the final.
The misfortune knocked on the door Matthew Wilson, who, before starting the rally, had to replace the engine penalizing one minute. During the morning the league had problems with the suspension that could only be addressed after the first 3 special Park Service and the 4th special had to stop to change the electronic control unit lost four minutes. Wilson ended the day 75 of the nearly 50 minutes of the leader. Also
Petter Solberg to the days was complicated with several holes that prevented him from keeping in the front seat. At baseline to last day's special, Solberg was in 6, about 1 minute and 40 seconds of the lead, but at the end of the day ended in 14 to more than 6 minutes and 40 seconds of Gronholm. The
11th place of Francois Duval and 19th Harry Rovanpera the end of the day were big disappointments for the fans and the 12th place of Manfred Stohl which occupies the 4th position of the world's riders.
The second day had just started as the first, however, soon dropouts. Soon the 2nd special Grönholm was that after the jump Micky, hit a rock causing the engine of your Focus would lose oil. Again Gronholm gave when they occupied the leadership of a rally. With that Loeb jumped to the command that would not leave until the end of the rally.
Petter Solberg was always very quick in the second day and eventually win a special. At the end of the day was already 8 with more opportunities to climb three places overall. Since his brother Henning was forced to quit in the middle of the 9th special when he was 3 rd overall.
The two Spaniards, Sordo and Pons continued the great rally that was to make the first move up to 3rd second place and the 4th.

Going into the third day it was guaranteed to win (except for any accident or mishap mechanical) for the dual-Kronos Total, Loeb and Elena.
Despite this fact the fight for some intermediate positions was still well lit. Petter Solberg was one of those who still had aspirations for something more. He started the day as he had finished the previous one and came to be in the battle for 6th place Valimaki, however, a steering problem in the last special threw it back out of the points, ended the rally in 9th. Valimaki would still get to 5th place also in the last special as the other Subaru, Atkinson, left the road due to poor visibility and did not actually finish the special suffering a penalty five minutes that put him in 10th position. The two Spaniards held the 3rd and 4th places in general and the Belgian François Duvall eventually charge a point of taking advantage of the problems Subarus.
