Citroen wins Rally of Turkey

04 March 2003: The Citroën Xsara of Carlos Sainz and Marc Marti won the Rally of Turkey on its debut in the world rally championship calendar. And Colin McRae and Derek Ringer achieved a well deserved fourth place on one of the roughest terrain of the Championship.

Citroën continues to lead the Manufacturers’ Championship since it took a “one-two-three” in Monte Carlo. After three events, Colin McRae is second, Carlos Sainz is third and Sébastien Loeb fifth in the Drivers’ Championship.

This 25th World Rally win made Carlos Sainz the joint record holder of victories together with his team-mate Colin McRae.
