Sebastien Loeb has gone fastest on the Qualifying Stage for Rally Argentina, round five of the FIA World Rally Championship.
Loeb, the winner in Argentina on the last six occasions, completed the 4.59-kilometre test from Villa Garcia to Cabalango in a time of 2m36.9s to earn the right to select his road position for day one's stages first.
Loeb's Citroen team-mate Mikko Hirvonen was second fastest. Dani Sordo, who is making a one-off appearance for the factory Ford team in place of the injured Jari-Matti Latvala, was third quickest in his Fiesta RS WRC. Team-mate Petter Solberg opted to run on Michelin's hard compound tyre, which provided less grip in the slippery conditions.
Drivers will select their road positions for day one at 13:00hrs local time. The first stage, Super Especial Amarok, goes live at 20:08hrs local time tonight (Thursday).
