Croatia Rally 2022
09h
Without too much difficulty, Rovanperä won SS1 of this Croatian Rally ahead of Neuville and Breen. Behind the leading trio, the gaps were significant with some drivers losing more than 40 seconds to the Finn.
09h
Difficult end to the special for Loubet who finished with both front tires flat. 14'25"3 for the Frenchman who loses 1'40"7
09h
Smooth start for Fourmaux who reaches the finish in 13'20 to 35″4 from Rovanperä
09h
It was a puncture on the left front that cost Evans so much time
09h
Also concerns for Evans? The Welshman concedes 1'20 on Rovanperä with a time of 14'04″6 at the finish

Tänak is provisionally in 4th position with a time of 13'00″8, 16″2 behind the benchmark set by Rovanperä
09h
Solberg crosses the line in 13'29″5. He finished 44″9 behind Rovanperä

Lappi is still at a standstill in this SS1. The Finn seems to have damaged his front-right suspension or at least this part of his car
08h
Breen doesn't approach Rovanperä either. 12'57″6 for the Irishman who finished 13 seconds from the lead
08h
Not really comfortable in these rainy conditions, Katsuta finished this SS1 in 13'36″2, 51″6 slower than Rovanperä's time
08h
Lappi stopped! The Finn was driving slowly and finally stopped his Yaris. He appears to have hit a rock on the inside of a bend. Already a hard blow for Toyota Gazoo Racing
08h
Bad start to the day for Greensmith who already concedes 25″5 on Rovanperä. 13'10″1 for the M-Sport driver who was close to losing everything in this SS1
08h
A time 6 seconds behind Rovanperä, Neuville finally finished 4″1 behind the Finn with a time of 12’48″7. “It was a horrible stage. I almost ended up in the ravine after 3 turns because there was no grip. Visibility was also not very good. »
08h
Rovanperä completes this SS1 and sets the benchmark to beat with a time of 12'44″6
08h
Big scare for Greensmith from the 1st sector of SS1. The Briton missed his braking approach to a hairpin and almost ended his race in a tree. Luckily, he was able to leave immediately with some damage to his Ford Puma.
08h
After the 1st sector, Neuville is ahead of Rovanperä by 9 tenths while the rain is present at the start of the day
