Three in a Row

Three in a row for Sebastian Loeb when he won the Rally Argentina on Sunday.  There was a little mixup with transportation.
Seven stages were canceled on Friday because bad weather left some drivers stranded in Buenos Aires, 700km from the rally's host city, after an opening super-special in the capital\'s River Plate stadium on Thursday.  Loeb won 10 stages in total, including the last super-special.  The Frenchman added to his Rally Argentina wins in 2005 and 2006.Finland's Jari-Matti Latvala, in a Stobart Ford, was fourth ahead of Norwegian Henning Solberg in another Ford.
Loeb now leads the World Rally Championship standings with Ford's Marcus Gronholm second and Mikko Hirvonen third.
