Report

World Rally Cars

Elfyn Evans and Scott Martin were entered by M-Sport Ford WRT, but were later withdrawn when Evans was injured contesting Rally Estonia as part of their pre-event preparations. Gus Greensmith and Elliott Edmondson were withdrawn from the WRC 2-Pro category and re-entered in Evans' and Martin's place.[13] Hayden Paddon and John Kennard were entered into the rally by M-Sport Ford WRT, but they were withdrawn after a heavy crash during testing that caused irreparable damage their car.[14]

It was a drama-free Friday for front runners, with Jari-Matti Latvala took a narrow lead into the second leg.[15] However, the local Finn punctured his rear-left tyre in a right-hand corner, which dropped him down to third. Teammate Kris Meeke also ran into trouble at the same corner, but damage to the rear-left suspension forced the Northern Irishman retired from the day.[16] Despite re-entering the rally on the final day, he still had to retire as he stopped again when he hit a rock. Gus Greensmith's rally ended his rally on SS20 after crashing into a tree.[17]

The rally was easily won by Ott Tänak, who won his tenth rally in his WRC career as well as winning his 200th stage victory during the event.[6]

The Romanian was forced to retire from the rally and received medical treatment.[20] Roland Poom and Jürgen Heigl was the two major retirements in the second leg.[21] Dennis Rådström could have taken some good points from the event, but the crash in the penultimate stage means he was thirty-four points off the lead.
