Latvala thanks his team for building a life-saver

Jari-Matti Latvala has paid tribute to his BP Ford Abu Dhabi Team for building a car which kept him and his co-driver safe from harm during a horrific crash on the opening day of Rally Portugal.

Latvala, 24, crashed heavily on Friday’s third stage, his Focus RS plunging over a roadside barrier and rolling 20 times down a hillside, eventually coming to rest 150 metres from the road.

Incredibly Latvala and his co-driver Miikka Anttila escaped without injury. Anttila flew home to Finland on Saturday morning while Latvala will remain in Portugal for public relations work this week.

“I'd like to say a big thank you to the team for building a car that is so strong that we walked away with only a few bruises,” said Jari-Matti. “If we had suffered that accident 20 years ago, we probably wouldn't be alive.

“It is definitely the biggest and the hardest crash I have ever had. I didn’t realise what was happening until we started to roll. It’s a nightmare feeling when you are in that situation because all you can do is wait. As we rolled there was an incredible noise and the roll cage started to fold in around us. It was very frightening,” he added.

Ford team principal Malcolm Wilson echoed Latvala’s comments and revealed that the car had stood us so well to the battering that it might still have a competitive future.

“Firstly, we're all relieved that both Jari-Matti and Miikka escaped injury,” said Wilson. “It was an incredible accident and the fact they are both unhurt is testament to the strength of the Focus RS WRC. They owe their lives to that.

“It is a tribute to the skill and many hours of hard work put in by the team in designing and developing such a robust car that they climbed out uninjured. All the safety systems that have been developed by the teams and the FIA worked in the way they should. The car stood up remarkably well, to the point where - remarkably - it will probably be able to be repaired,” he added.

M-Sport to build Super 2000 Ford Fiesta

M-Sport, the company which manages Ford’s WRC programme, is about to start work on a new Super 2000 specification rally car which will conform to the new FIA World Rally Championship technical regulations.

The car, based on the new Ford Fiesta, is expected to test for the first time in September this year and be finished in time for a homologation date of January 2010.

British based M-Sport has been Ford's partner in the WRC since 1997 and developed the Focus RS WRC that won the WRC manufacturers' title for Ford in 2006 and 2007.

The firm says the knowledge gained from the development of that car, and M-Sport’s expertise in design and engineering, will be transferred to the creation of the next generation of S2000 car. The project will again be led by the team’s award winning technical director Christian Loriaux.

The Super 2000 formula was last month confirmed as the future for the WRC, superseding the current generation of World Rally Cars by the start of the 2011 season.

M-Sport managing director Malcolm Wilson said: “I’m delighted that after completing an extensive feasibility study M-Sport has decided to proceed with the development of a new Fiesta Super 2000 car. The creation of this car will be an important step in reducing the cost of rallying and will make competing in the World Rally Championship more affordable.

“Work is about to get underway on the car and it will be available for competitors to purchase in time for the 2010 season. M-Sport developed the Ford Focus RS WRC which has taken over 100 consecutive WRC points finishes and our technical knowledge and top-class engineering should make the new Fiesta Super 2000 just as successful,” he added.

Lorenzo unhappy about pace on race tyres

Jorge Lorenzo could not repeat his remarkable 2008 Qatar pole position, but despite qualifying on the front row again at Losail he is concerned about his pace on the harder Bridgestone tyres.

Fiat Yamaha’s Jorge Lorenzo qualified just 0.024s behind his illustrious second placed colleague Valentino Rossi on the Qatar grid on Saturday, but as he commences his second season in MotoGP the Spaniard is playing down his chances in Sunday’s race.

Lorenzo shone under the Losail floodlights on his premier class debut last year as he rode to second place from pole position at the start of 2008, but he tried to play down his chances of a repeat performance after qualifying for the 2009 season-opener.

Third on the grid, the young Majorcan rider stated, “I’m not happy, not because of the third place with the soft tyres, but because with the harder ones I expected a better pace. But anyway that’s how things are and tomorrow we will have to struggle to stay with the front group. That’s racing, maybe at one track you don’t have a good pace but at the next circuit things could be easier.”

He continued, “During the test here I was faster with the hard tyre but for some reason we have the opposite situation this time and I am much faster with the soft tyre. Now we need to work hard to try to solve the problem tonight. On Sunday I won’t be thinking about winning, just about doing the best I can.”

Stoner on pole for Qatar MotoGP

Doha - Australian Casey Stoner took pole position on his Ducati for Sunday's night-time MotoGP race on a dusty track at Qatar's Losail International Circuit.

The 2007 world champion clocked a lap record of one minute, 55.286 seconds and starts ahead of six-times world champion Valentino Rossi and the Italian's Yamaha team mate Jorge Lorenzo of Spain. [ID:nISS448791]

The 23-year-old Stoner complained about the weather conditions at the Doha circuit, which was dusty after light rain dried up in the Gulf Arab capital.

"I think it is going to be very risky toward the end of the race tomorrow," Stoner said in a press conference after the qualifying round. "We have less confidence than we had been prior to the race in the past."

Italian Andrea Dovizioso was fourth on a Honda, followed by fellow countryman Loris Capirossi on a Suzuki and American Colin Edwards on his Yamaha.

Stoner's U.S. team-mate Nicky Hayden, the 2006 world champion with Honda who has now switched to Ducati, fell towards the end of the qualifying session and was tended by a medical team. The scope of his injuries was not clear.

Spain's Julian Simon took pole for the 125cc category, clocking a lap record time of two minutes, 7.791 seconds.

Gabor Talmacsi of Hungary will be on pole for the 250cc race after settling a lap record time of two minutes, 1.902 seconds. (Reporting by Dania Saadi; editing by Sam Cage and John O'Brien.
