  Latvala had completed one run through the 3.87-mile Carlos
Paz-Cabalango practice stage and had just left the start line
for his second pass when the problem occurred.  "I went a few
meters forward and lost the drive," said Latvala. "I thought it
was driveshaft, I kept going slowly to the end of the shakedown
road, then came on the road section. I was a bit worried [about]
what is wrong with the car so I stopped there. It's on the
transmission side but I don't know exactly what is the problem."
Latvala's car is being returned to the service park in Villa
Carlos Paz where Ford engineers will examine the exact cause of
the problem and carry out repairs.  Petter Solberg was also
delayed during shakedown following a front-right driveshaft
failure on his privateer Citroen DS3 WRC. Benoit Nogier, boss of
Citroen Racing Technologies said: "We have to check the data
because he did not hit anything."
