Wilks takes second in Argentina
7:44pm Sunday 21st March 2010 in
GUY Wilks claimed a deserved second place in Rally Argentina today, the third round of the International Rally Challenge.
Darlington's Wilks was pipped by Juho Hänninen who safely completed the event-closing superspecial stage through the streets of Carlos Paz.
The win gives the Finnish driver a five-point championship lead after three events.
Wilks finished ahead of Jan Kopecký, who inherited third place from Kris Meeke to complete a Škoda one-two-three.
Meeke had looked set for third until broken steering forced him to retire his Peugeot 207 after the penultimate stage of the event.
