WRC – Mads Ostberg lists the difficulties of the Acropolis rally

In Greece, it will be above all a question of reaching the finish line for Mads Ostberg. “Our main objective is to finish the event without having to restart in Rally 2! », hopes the Norwegian, who has not been spared from problems since the start of the year. He is even more on the defensive as he prepares to tackle one of the rallies “the most difficult” of the year, according to his own words. "The rally of the Acropolis is a very tough event », details the Qatar pilot M-Sport WRT. “There is always the risk that a stone will end up in the trajectory and there are a lot of complicated sections to deal with. The key is to take care of the car. Tire performance is always a factor too, that's something else we're going to have to take into account throughout the weekend. There are also night specials. The organizers will do their best, but if there is no wind, dust could be a very big problem. »

“Bringing back the Ford Fiesta RS WRC in one piece will be a big challenge, but we will attack from the start and hope to go quickly. The podium is definitely where we want to be,” concludes Mads Ostberg, who has not been there since his third place in Sweden in February.
