Power stage

edit

The Power stage was a short 4.37 km stage run through the streets of Trier known as the Circus Maximus. The three fastest crews through this stage were awarded by drivers' championship points. Sébastien Loeb was the fastest driver through the stage, earning three additional championship points. His teammate, Mikko Hirvonen was second, while Volkswagen Motorsport driver Andreas Mikkelsen finished third. The single point Mikkelsen earned marked the first time a S2000 car scored points on a Power stage.
