Rally of Great Britain

Summary
After a sensational finale to the Rally of Great Britain, the last round of the 2002 FIA World Rally Championship, 555 Subaru driver Petter Solberg has claimed the first victory of his WRC career.
With the Drivers' Championship secured earlier in the season by Marcus Gronholm, and the Manufacturers' Championship already wrapped up by Peugeot, all eyes were on the battle between two of the WRC's most talented young drivers - Ford's Markko Martin and Subaru's Petter Solberg. In a tense struggle for the top spot, the pair traded stage wins over the last four stages, but it was the Subaru star, and Welsh co-driver Phil Mills, that had the edge. In dry and bright weather conditions, 27-year-old Petter delivered a mature and calculated performance to overturn Martin's overnight advantage and take a momentous win. His Estonian rival finished 24.4 seconds behind in second, with the final podium spot going to Carlos Sainz, a further 1 minute 11.3 seconds back in third.
