Makinen withdraws from Argentina.

The 555 Subaru World Rally team has announced that Tommi Makinen has been withdrawn from YPF Rally Argentina. Makinen had been looking good prior to SS8, when he was running second, however gearbox problems in that test and the in subsequent one dropped him way down the leader-board, over 10 minutes off the frontrunners. Although he recovered to 13th overall after leg 2 yesterday, even a points-finish today looked unlikely.
