Sardinia Rally 2022
Here's an update on the rankings after this SS4. Special victory for Sordo and 1st place overall for Tänak ahead of Lappi
6th time of SS4 for Fourmaux who reached the finish in 9'12″4 just 4″1 behind Sordo. The Habs cling to 5th place overall, 13″9 behind leader Tänak
Beautiful passage from Loubet in 9'10″9 just 2″6 from Breen. This performance allows the Habs to temporarily settle in 3rd place overall, 9″8 behind Tänak
9'12 for Lappi, 3″7 behind Sordo. As expected, he leaves the leadership position to Tänak, making the Estonian the 4th different leader in 4 stages contested
With 2″ behind Sordo after the 9rd sector, Lappi could lose the lead of the Sardinia Rally to the detriment of Tänak. You will have to follow the end of the special to see where the Finn ranks
Sordo sets the provisional best time in 9'08″3. The Spaniard, who has already won two victories in Sardinia, beat Tänak by 0″9
Greensmith will also regret his little mishap mid-special. Almost making a mistake, the Englishman lost precious seconds which were visible at the finish as he finished 11″5 behind Tänak with a time of 9’20″7
Breen may regret these few small errors during this SS4. The Irishman finished in 9'15″9, 6″7 behind Tänak. Without that, he would surely have won the special given the pace shown.
Despite a bit of damage to the front of his i20 after a somewhat abrupt landing, Tänak set the best provisional time in 9'09″2, 9 tenths faster than Neuville
Breen not far from finishing his race among the spectators. The Irishman braked a bit too late and missed the turn going straight towards the spectators present there. Luckily, he was able to brake in time avoiding the tragedy.
Katsuta still in safety mode to continue to gain confidence. At the finish, this is reflected in the time with a 9'19″2 to 9″1 of Neuville
This time Neuville was not bothered by the dust unlike the first passage of the day. 9'10″1 for the Belgian who beat Rovanperä by 7″7
9'17″8 for Rovanperä on the line which establishes the mark to beat in this SS4
Fear for Rovanperä in the 3rd sector. Too wide in a fast section, the Finn did not go far from correctional. More fear than harm for him who continues his journey in this SS4
Let's go for SS4! Rovanperä starts his time
Even before the start of this SS4, the first retirement of the day fell! This is Evans. Victim of water leaks during SS3, the Welshman was forced to retire as confirmed by Toyota. Terrible blow for the representative of the Japanese firm who was aiming for his first victory of the season. He was 3rd, 3 seconds behind leader Lappi
The start of SS4 is scheduled for 9:46 a.m.
