The latest images from Turkey suggest that Breen will not restart in Rally 2 tomorrow. The C3 WRC completely burned after the Irishia drove for a long time with thick smoke in the cabin.

The special stages continue at the Rally of Türkiye, always with its share of twists and turns. Andreas Mikkelsen (Hyundai) lost almost 2 minutes while leading the event after completing the Yesilbelde special (34km) with mechanical problems. Its tires are in good condition, but it could be the victim of a transmission problem with only the rear-wheel drive.

Sébastien Ogier (M-Sport) aimed for 3rd place before going off the road. Craig Breen (Citroën) lost more than 6 minutes following a mechanical problem, with thick smoke emerging from the passenger compartment of his C3 WRC which was running in 6th place.

Ott Tänak (Toyota) was the fastest, completing the special in 27'12''3, 11 seconds ahead of his teammate Jari-Matti Latvala. The Finn reported suffering from hydraulic problems on his Yaris WRC. Hayden Paddon (Hyundai) follows at 14 seconds ahead of Teemu Suninen (M-Sport) at 42 seconds.

Ott Tänak inherits the leading position at Rally Turkey with a 13-second lead over Jari-Matti Latvala. Hayden Paddon completes the provisional podium, 37 seconds behind the Finn. Andreas Mikkelsen follows his teammate at 16 seconds with 2 minutes ahead of Teemu Suninen who takes advantage of Craig Breen's problems and the retirement of Sébastien Ogier to climb to 5th place.

Mikkelsen has a hard time reaching the finish. The Hyundai driver was the victim of several spins which caused him to frequently stall. The Norwegian finished 1'42 behind Tänak. He fell to 4th place, 16 seconds behind his teammate Paddon, who completed the new provisional podium behind the Toyotas of Tänak and Latvala.
