Croatia Rally 2022
The scratch therefore goes to Evans who is ahead of Rovanperä by 2″6 forcing him to lose for the first time in this Croatian Rally. Overall, the Finn retains the lead with an 1″11 lead over Neuville.
Fourmaux has still not been able to get back on the road. The Habs will lose big from the start of the rally...
Evans is the first man to beat Rovanperä in this Croatian Rally. 6'08 for the Welshman who beat the Finn by 2″6 to take the lead of the special. Overall, he remains more than 1'40 behind
Fourmaux stopped! The Habs made a mistake just a few meters after the start of the special. He lost control of his Puma and ended up in the garden of a local resident's house. Things get complicated for the Nordic who could end his day if the damage is significant to his car...
Good passage from Solberg who temporarily settles in 4th place in this SS3 with a time of 6'15″7, or 5″1 slower than Rovanperä
A time under a second behind Rovanperä, Breen was finally 3″9 behind on the finish line with a time of 6’14″5
Katsuta still doesn't take any chances. The Japanese was content to bring the car back to the finish in order to score points in the championship. The Toyota driver clocked 6'27″2 to 16″6 from Rovanperä
Best special of the morning for Greensmith who only lost 14″9 on Rovanperä. The Englishman completed SS3 in 6'25″5
Beautiful special from Neuville who finished just 2 tenths behind Rovanperä even though he had a big scare a few moments after the start with a big cross in the rain
6'10″6 is the mark established by Rovanperä in this SS3
End of the day also for Lappi who will return to the service park. The Finn hit a rock during SS1 and hasn't left since
Unfortunately the first stage is more difficult for Kalle's team-mates. @ElfynEvans drops 1m20s with a tire off the rim, while @EsapekkaLappi's Friday is over after hitting something in the stage. We'll get his car back and ready it for a restart tomorrow.#WRC #CroatiaRally pic.twitter.com/x2agtJc1BQ
