Successful temperature measurement for Kalle Rovanperä in Okić where the Shakedown took place Rally from Croatia this Thursday. The world championship leader started slowly with a first pass in 1'56"3 over a 3,65 kilometer course before increasing the pace.
It was during his 3e et dernier passage que le Finlandais de Toyota a signé le meilleur temps avec un chrono 1’52“5, soit presque 4 secondes plus rapide que son premier. En fin de compte, Kalle Rovanperä a devancé Thierry Neuville (Hyundai) qui a tenté sa chance à 4 reprises pour finalement échouer à 1 dixième de son homologue. Ils ont par ailleurs été les seuls pilotes à rouler sous la 1’53 ce jeudi en Croatie. Ott Tänak (Hyundai), Craig Breen (M-Sport) et Esapekka Lappi (Toyota) ont complété le top 5, tous à au moins 8 dixièmes de la meilleure marque.
On the tricolor side, you have to go down to 9e rank to find trace of a Frenchman. This is Pierre-Louis Loubet who is making his comeback in WRC. With the M-Sport Ford Puma, the one guided by Vincent Landais drove in 1'54"9. The Northerner Adrien fourmaux (M-Sport) ranked 11e 3“6 from Kalle Rovanperä.
