Loubet lost nearly a minute on the final stage due to smoke in his car, but managed to finish in 6th place, while Lappi finished in 7th place. Evans also finished fifth, and Toyota failed to stand on the podium. Rovanpera, who pursued Neuville until the end, did not show the same performance as last year and marked 4th place. For reference, Neuville also managed to retain 3rd place in the championship by adding 15 drivers’ points. Neuville also quickly overcame his early struggles and succeeded in taking the last place on the podium. Unfortunately, Breen, who missed the championship, quickly adapted to his new car and looked forward to his future performance. However, the Hyundai team achieved a double podium with Breen in 2nd and Neuville in 3rd.
Since 2019, when he was champion, it’s been a while since he scored the most. M-Sport Ford’s Tanak won the trophy at Rally Sweden. Rovanpera, Evans, and Loubet took 4th to 6th places, followed by WRC2 drivers led by Solberg.
As a result, he took three stages (SS9, SS13, SS14) on Saturday and pushed Rovanpera by 3.8 seconds. He struggled with poor conditions at the start of the race, but steadily picked up the pace with few mistakes. Breen was second by 8.6 seconds and, surprisingly, Neuville was third. This moved Tanak to the top at the end of Saturday. But Rovanpera spun on SS13 and allowed Neuville to get closer.īreen’s car suffered a flat left tire and hybrid system anomaly, allowing Tanak to takeover. With the help of the spectators, he turned the car around, but lost 7 minutes, which slimmed down his chances of standing on the podium. First of all, on SS13, Lappi’s car was buried in snow and wasted time. By afternoon things were not doing great for Hyundai. But still nobody knew who would take the lead The gap between Breen and Tanak was only about 5 seconds. On Saturday’s opening, Neuville showed signs of recovery by marking the top.
