2011 Jordan Rally (Jordan) — WRC Rd.4

Overview

Event Name: 2011 Jordan Rally

Date: April 14–16, 2011

Start/Finish Location: Dead Sea, Jordan

Total Distance: 659.54 km overall (333.04 km of special stages)

Participating Teams: 31 starters, 28 finishers

A logistical hiccup cut the rally to two days, but the racing remained intense. Ogier and Latvala traded seconds until the Frenchman won by the smallest margin in WRC history.


Route

Jordan Valley: Long straights broken by tight hairpins.
Desert Plains: Wide-open sections exposed to crosswinds.
Heat: High ambient temps tested tire and cooling performance.

Stages along the Dead Sea were fast but narrow, with loose gravel on the edges.

The compact schedule heightened pressure on crews with no room for recovery drives.
