Rally Argentina’s 2007 edition delivered its usual mix of spectacular scenery and treacherous conditions. Sébastien Loeb kept his cool through river fords, mountainous climbs, and heavy downpours to claim another victory over title rival Marcus Grönholm.

Route

El Condor – Copina: Iconic high-altitude climb with rocky switchbacks and dramatic drop-offs.
Giulio Cesare: Fast but slippery descents when wet, demanding absolute trust in pacenotes.
Santa Rosa de Calamuchita: Flowing farmland roads interspersed with water crossings.

Stages ranged from tight, boulder-lined ascents to open, high-speed valley runs. Notable stages included:

Variable weather was a major factor, with visibility plummeting in thick mountain fog and surfaces becoming treacherously slick after rain.
