Recaps of last round of Rally America, the last two rounds from the IRC and this weekend recap of the WRC in round 8 at Rally Finland. First, with Round 7 and 8 of the Intercontinental Rally Challenge rounds at Rally San Marino and Sibiu Rally Romania. Seventh round of the Intercontinental Rally Challenge at the Rally San Marino (6-7th July) was won by 2007 IRC champion Giandomenico Basso in his Ford Fiesta RRC, three seconds ahead of current IRC Champion Andreas Mikkelsen in his Škoda Fabia S2000 who finished in second place in the rally. While, Umberto Scandola finished 3rd in his Škoda Fabia S2000.
While, Round 8 at Sibiu Rally Romania (20th-21st July) in Romania. Was won by current IRC Champion Andreas Mikkelsen in his Škoda Fabia S2000, has over five and a half minutes ahead of Patrik Flodin in his Ford Fiesta S2000. While, François Delecour finished third in his Peugeot 207 S2000. Highlights below of the rally.
While in the Rally America Championship (13-14th July), was at New England Forest Rally in New Hampshire and Maine, United States. Was won by 2010 Rally America champion Antoine L'Estage in his 2011 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X. While, 2011 champion David Higgins finished second place, 21 seconds behind in his 2012 Subaru WRX STI.
Which gives Higgins the 2012 Rally America Championship with a round to spare over L'Estage who's currently second in the championship. So contractions to David Higgins and his co-driver Craig Drew for winning the 2012 Rally America drivers championship and winning the Rally America championship for a second time in a row and for the forth time as-well. Some Youtube footage from Day 1 and Day 2 of the 2012 New England Forest Rally.

While, Jari-Matti Latvala finished third in his Ford Fiesta RS ahead of Ford team mate Petter Solberg in forth place.
