17h
The day is not yet over since SS8 is scheduled in Porto at 20:03 p.m. this Friday. In the meantime, Thierry Neuville is working on his car to get it back into shape for the final special of the day while his counterparts have already taken the road to the Portuguese city. See you this evening for SS8 still on AUTOhebdo!

17h
The Spaniard's time has not yet been confirmed by the race commissioners
17h
Sordo loses Rally Portugal lead after his problem on SS7. Tänak is the new leader of the event!
17h
Sordo is also at fault. This stage definitely trapped a lot of drivers. The Spaniard let several seconds slip away
17h
Greensmith temporarily settles in 2nd place. The Englishman crossed the line in 11'48, 5″3 behind Ogier
17h
Fourmaux finishes with his special stage which is also difficult for him. The M-Sport driver drops 54″7 on Ogier with a time of 12’37″4
17h
Fourmaux on three wheels! The Frenchman hit a corner and saw his right rear tire burst. He tries as best he can to reach the finish
17h
Katsuta in 11'48″4 to 5″7 from Ogier
17h
“It was a very difficult day,” laments the Finn
17h
Ogier remains in the lead. With a time of 12'00″1, Rovanperä is provisionally ranked 3rd, 17″4 behind the Frenchman
17h
11'51″7 for Tänak who finished SS7 9 seconds behind Ogier
17h
Neuville mentioned a poor understanding of the notes and arrived with too high a speed in a corner where it did not necessarily go through
17h
Evans also lost a lot by crossing the line with a time of 12'20, 37″3 slower than Ogier
17h
Neuville's ordeal is over. 15'08″6 for the Belgian at the finish who loses more than 3 minutes
17h
Evans comes across Neuville on his way. The dust generated by the Belgian's car prevents the Welshman from driving at a normal speed. He too will lose big
17h
The crew is doing well and managed to get back on the road. However, the co-driver's door is broken and Neuville cannot drive very fast. The Belgian will lose very big!
17h
Neuville at fault! The Belgian's i20 turned over a few kilometers from the finish
17h
11'42″7 for Ogier who records the first mark of this SS7
