World Rally Cars

[edit]

Hyundai Motorsporthad initially planned to enterAndreas Mikkelsenfor the rally but he was dropped in favour ofSébastien Loeb,due to Mikkelsen's inconsistent form on gravel.[13]However, Loeb's rally was conceded almost sixteen minutes as hisfuel systemfailed. So was his teammateDani Sordo,who grabbed an early lead until the similar issue happened to him.[14]FollowingHyundai's double disasters,Toyotamanaged to end the day with an 1-2-3.[15]Teemu Suninenwas the only driver can matchYaris' pace, but abrakefailure pushed the Finn down to sixth. TeammateElfyn Evanshit trouble as well. The Welshman lost almost four minutes when hisFiestastopped with an electrical problem, which raised heavy dust when went back on the road. The dust affected greatly onEsapekka Lappi,who suffered apunctureearly before, but the time he loss was later credited back to him.

On day two, rally leaderOtt Tänakhit adamperissue and slashed his lead to just 4.3 seconds. TeammateJari-Matti Latvalasuffered the same problem, but he was unable to finish the rally, so Rally2 for the Finn. A double dose of tactics byThierry Neuville'sHyundai teamboosted him to third, less than ten seconds off the lead.Gus Greensmithhad to retire from the day as he crashed hisFiestainto a ditch.[16]

Eventually, Tänak secured a back-to-back victory, while the final day saw four major retirements.[6]Esapekka Lappiwas running fifth until he hit a bank and broke the rear leftsuspension.[17]Kris Meekespun out second place to his rival before he retired as he crashed into a tree.Gus Greensmith'sWRCdebut ended up with a crash in the finalFafestage.Sébastien Loebwas another late casualty, retiring hisi20after hitting a bank in the same stage despite the fact that he had crossed the finishing line.
