		Sainz, who complained of neck pain, was released with a neck brace and a warning from the doctors in Perth that he should not race this weekend.
		Sainz was given further medical evaluation to confirm that he had a damaged disc located in the spine.
		Sainz was looking forward to the rally, not only because it would be his final WRC event, but because he still had a chance to move up in the overall points.

		The academic Sainz was studying hard at university with the aim of becoming a lawyer but in 1985 he made the brave decision to give up that career path in favour of pursuing a career on the rally stages.
		Undeterred, Sainz bounced back the following year and four wins, aided by a string of consistently strong finishes for which he is so renown, secured a second world title in three years.
		Sainz rejoined Ford in 1996 and took the Escort to victory in Indonesia, repeating his Far East success in 1997 as well as winning in Greece.

		Sainz is praised by Volkswagen Motorsport Director Kris Nissen before the start: "Carlos has confirmed in every aspect that he is a professional.

		Sainz is bitterly disappointed by his enforced withdrawal from what would have been the final event of his 24 year career.
		Sainz and co-driver Mark Marti were practicing for the rally on stage 3, Stirling Long, when their recce car - not a Citroën - left the road.
		Sainz, who proved with a win on the notoriously difficult Rally of Argentina this year that was still very much a man to beat, came second in Rally Australia in 1990, third in 1992, third again in 1996, second in 1998, second in 1999, eighth in 2001, fourth in 2002 and fourth last year.

	NASIOC - By Carlos :( (Sainz)
		Sainz — a sportsman through and through — got his competitive kick by excelling at football and squash whilst training to be a lawyer, but gradually got involved in circuit racing and rallying.
		Even this year, when he could be justified in having a ‘winding down’ year as he contemplated his future, Sainz seemed as competitive as ever, winning emphatically in Argentina and finishing on the podium on six other occasions, as well as finishing in the points on all but two rallies.
		But, having made the decision that ‘enough is enough’, Sainz can deservedly sit back, comfortable in the knowledge that he gave it his all and reaped the rewards well.

	Rally Paradise, Carlos Sainz´s Profile
		Sainz never looked like winning a rally that year, and was soon on the move again - this time to Subaru - where he was twice championship runner-up.
		Sainz's raw speed and phenominal talent for turning an also-ran into a rally winner should see him back to the front of the field by season's end.
		In 1999 Sainz was securing the Manufacturers title for the Toyota team and it was a big disappointment when Toyota decided to withdraw from the World Rally Championship at the end of the season.

		Sainz's Citreon team-mate Sebastien Loeb also believes the Spanish veteran could pose a threat on the rough gravel roads in the Anatolian mountains that tower above the holiday town of Kemer.
		Sainz will have the advantage of starting the 1,228km rally back in 15th place, which should mean he is running on well-swept tracks behind the championship front-runners.

		Carlos Sainz is a now retired rally driver who competed in the sport from 1980 to 2005.
		Despite formally retiring at the end of the 2004 season, with a possible view to moving into the European Touring Car Championship, he was invited back to the fold on request of Citroën, to replace the faltering Belgian driver François Duval.
		Although Duval was soon to reclaim his seat, Sainz's two rallies back in the Citroen impressed many, with the now-43 year old Spaniard posting 4th and 3rd finishing positions respectively.

		Sitting along side Carlos Sainz in the Citroën Xsara WRC will be Marc Marti, who as well as bringing his navigational skills to the team will also provide Sainz with knowledge of the Xsara WRC and the Citroën team having partnered Jesus Puras in the flying Citroën rally car.
		I think Carlos is just as fast as Colin and will prove an enormous asset in talent, experience and expertise for the team.

		Considering that this would happen only gradually, Carlos Sainz and the Citroën team opted for soft tyres, being the only car to have placed these in their quota.
