Catalonia, SS2: Rovanperä on its way

It has been 14 years since the Rally de Catalogne n’avait pas disputé la spéciale de Serra de la Llena. Sur un terrain inconnu de tous, hormis du vétéran espagnol Dani Sordo (Hyundai), Kalle Rovanperä (Toyota) a été à nouveau le plus impressionnant.

The 2022 world champion of WRC dropped the competition over 11,79 km. Apart from the Hyundai i20 of Thierry Neuville and the Toyota Yaris of Elfyn Evans and Sébastien Ogier, the opponents experienced great difficulties on a partly wet road.

Les Ford Puma du clan M-Sport Ford sont aux abonnées absentes avec un trio Loubet-Fourmaux-Greensmith transparent. The two Frenchmen and the Englishman lost more than a second per kilometer and are already dropped by half a minute in the general classification!

In WRC2, the fight for the title between Andreas Mikkelsen (absent in Catalonia), Kajetan Kajetanowicz (Skoda) and Emil Lindholm (Skoda) takes a turn against the latter. The Finn suffered a puncture to his right rear wheel and lost a minute.

Passionate about the history of motorsport across all disciplines, I learned to read thanks to AUTOhebdo. At least that's what my parents tell everyone when they see my name inside!
