In scorching Mediterranean heat, Marcus Grönholm produced another disciplined and controlled performance to win the Rally of Turkey. The event’s mix of rough, rocky sections and fast-flowing gravel tested both drivers and machinery to the limit.
The rally’s stages wound through the Taurus Mountains, alternating between wide, dusty tracks and tight, rocky switchbacks. Notable stages included:
Dust clouds were a constant hazard, especially for cars running behind on the road order, making pacenote precision vital.
Grönholm controlled the pace from the front while Hirvonen backed up Ford’s dominant weekend with a career-best second place. Sordo’s third podium of the year confirmed his growing consistency on gravel.
Grönholm’s win tightened the 2006 championship race, as Ford demonstrated a commanding 1–2 finish against Loeb’s Citroën squad.
