Hirvonen is anxious to get his WRC career back on trackfollowing a frustrating 2010, butLatvala is on a high after finishing runner-up to Loeb in lastseason's final standings.
Latvala came home 29.4 seconds clear of team-mate Mikko Hirvonen as BP Ford claimed a morale-boosting one-two to finally break Citroen's stranglehold on the 2009 season.
Latvala's win came at the end of a topsy-turvy three days which often saw tactical driving employed at the expense of flat-out pace, particularly over the opening leg.
