Rally New Zealand 2022
High-speed section in very tricky conditions caught Gus out. Main thing is the safety cell did its job and Gus and Jonas are ok. pic.twitter.com/eMKc6ViPma

Confirmation of the race direction, the special will not resume.
This cancellation is certainly a godsend for Elfyn Evans who still has a chance of bringing her injured Yaris back to service.
The next Kaipara Hills 2 special is scheduled for 3:08 a.m. French time. Thanks for following us and stay tuned to www.AUTOhebdo.fr to follow the end of this exciting third day of racing.
RED FLAG. The special is neutralized.
Greensmith lost his Puma in a very fast left before rolling over. The main thing is that the crew is unharmed.
Violent outing from Gus Greensmith! The crew was fortunately unharmed but the Ford Puma was completely destroyed.
Neuville failed 1″ behind Breen and took second place.
The route of this special is a real Gymkhana. The turns follow one another relentlessly, a pleasant spectacle but which contrasts with the fluid and fast courses that we have seen since the start of the event.
Oliver Solberg does no better than Breen while Thierry Neuville takes off.
3’23″7 for Takamoto Katsuta who finished 3″1 behind Breen.
3’20”6 for Craig Breen, first reference time in this very short 5,81 km special
Craig Breen, winner of SS8, sets off on SS10, the last special stage of the first loop of this third day in New Zealand.
Elfyn Evans stopped on the road to fill his radiator with his water bottle and water collected from the side of the road. The situation seems critical for the Toyota driver.
The General classification before SS10:
Glad to see you on this live text to follow the third day of the New Zealand Rally together!
