Rally Mexico 2023

15h

The drivers may be competing in this special for the fourth time on this 2023 Rally of Mexico, but it can still hold (small) surprises. Pierre-Louis Loubet (Ford), Jourdan Serderidis (Ford) and Dani Sordo (Hyundai) each lost a handful of seconds by missing one of the many tight turns on the course.

Logically, Sébastien Ogier (Toyota) was conservative due to his lead at the head of the elements. Thierry Neuville (Hyundai) is less cautious, because he wants to take 2nd place from Elfyn Evans (Toyota). Despite his special victory, he only took a few tenths back from the Welshman, three special stages from the finish.

Hello and welcome to this page to follow the final stage of the 2023 Rally Mexico!

The World Rally Championship (WRC) competes in his first gravel event of the season at the Rally Mexico. Sébastien Ogier (Toyota) will start this final stage from the head of the race, from 15:05 p.m. this Sunday March 10.

The Frenchman, winner of the last Mexican edition in 2020, returned with his new co-driver Vincent Landais to score a seventh success, which would make him the record holder for the Rally of Mexico.

The French crew took advantage of the accident of the leaders Esapekka Lappi-Janne Ferm (Hyundai) in the first special on Saturday to take the lead.

The big question mark of this day concerns the duel for second position between Elfyn Evans (Toyota) and Thierry Neuville (Hyundai). The Belgian continued to get closer to the Welshman during Saturday's specials, and was only 4″3 behind before the final four SS.

In WRC2, we will have to monitor the evolution of the match between the new Skoda Fabia Rally2 and the aging Ford Fiesta of Frenchmen Adrien Fourmaux and Alexandre Coria. They are sailing in 2nd place, 31″ behind Gus Greensmith.
