World champion Sebastien Loeb won first place in Acropolis Rally 2012, yesterday and came one step closer to winning this year's world championship as well.
The Citroen French driver clinched the trophy of the 58th Acropolis Rally for the third time in his career (after 2005 and 2008) to reach a total of 71 victories.
Loeb's Finnish team-mate Mikko Hirvonen, also driving a Citroen DS3 WRC, came second and the Ford team came third with another Finnish driver, Jati-Matti Latvala, at the wheel of a Ford Fiesta RS WRC. The ceremonial start of the Acropolis Rally -dubbed the Rally of Gods- took place on May 24, at the courtyard of the Zappeion Hall and its finish at the Club Hotel Casino in Loutraki.
