O piloto britânico Richard Burns dominou o Rally de Acrópolis durante todo o dia de hoje, mas foi penalizado em 30 segundos e caiu para o 4º lugar na Classificação Geral.

Com esta penalização, McRae assumiu a ponta e largará em primeiro nesta terça-feira. Vários pilotos preferiram não forçar muito hoje para que larguem mais atrás amanhã, já que, segundo os pilotos, os primeiros a largar terão uma grande desvantagem já que o terreno fica melhor após a passagem de vários carros.

Didier Auriol da Toyota foi o principal abandono do dia, já que ele bateu em uma pedra e danificou a suspensão de seu carro.

"Aqui é preciso ser muito cuidadoso. Você pode estar em primeiro, com uma grande vantagem, mas uma pedra em um lugar inesperado pode acabar com os nossos planos" comentou Makinen, atual líder do Mundial de Rally e principal favorecido com o abandono de Auriol, que dividia a liderança com o finlandês.

Classificação após a SS8: 1. McRAE-GRIST - Ford Focus - 1h20'03"100 2. MAKINEN-MANNISE - Mitsubishi - 1h20'11"800 3. SAINZ-MOYA - Toyota Corolla - 1h20'16"600 4. BURNS-REID - Subaru Impreza - 1h20'16"700 5. LOIX-SMEETS - Mitsubishi - 1h20'20"700 6. KANKKUNEN-REPO - Subaru Impreza - 1h20'26"500 7. LIATTI-CASSINA - Seat Cordoba - 1h20'47"500 8. DELECOUR-GRATAL - Peugeot 206 - 1h22'14"700 9. MARTIN-KITSING - Toyota Corolla - 1h22'41"300 10. SCHWARZ-HIEMER - Skoda - 1h23'33"100
