Ott Tanak was handed the reins at Ypres Rally after a mistake by Hyundai team-mate Thierry Neuville on Saturday’s penultimate stage dashed all hope of a repeat victory in front of his home supporters.

Kalle Rovanpera remains on course to increase his World Rally Championship points advantage by making it five victories from seven starts with only one day of Rally Estonia remaining.

Kalle Rovanpera was promoted to the top of the Rally Estonia leaderboard on the final Friday stage after his Toyota team-mate and long-time leader Elfyn Evans dropped 22.6 seconds.

Toyota Gazoo Racing Team Principal Jari-Matti Latvala has heaped praised on his four drivers for “holding their nerve” on the penultimate day of an incident-filled Safari Rally Kenya.

Esapekka Lappi says he is “satisfied” with his opening day’s work at Rally Italia Sardegna and is confident he can build on that heading into the Saturday leg of the notoriously harsh gravel event. 

Toyota returnee Esapekka Lappi was prevented from building on his small Rally Italia Sardegna lead as organisers took the decision to cancel the final two Friday stages on safety grounds.

Hyundai Motorsport’s Thierry Neuville will be hoping his Rally Italia Sardegna shakedown victory is an indication of what is to come on round five of the World Rally Championship this weekend.

Kalle Rovanpera cemented his position at the head of the World Rally Championship drivers’ standings – and his tag as one of the favourites to lift the title – with a comprehensive Rally de Portugal victory.

A peerless drive – and a slice of good fortune – on the penultimate day of Rally de Portugal has provisionally handed top spot to World Rally Championship leader Kalle Rovanpera.

The opening day of Rally de Portugal has ended with Elfyn Evans and Kalle Rovanera making it a provisional one-two for the Toyota Gazoo Racing team.

Thierry Neuville says his Rally Spain victory has been tainted by a mechanical issue that meant his car had to be pushed to the final regroup.

Thierry Neuville produced one of his standout drives of the season today to put him firmly in the box seat to record back-to-back Rally Spain victories.

Hyundai’s Thierry Neuville has said the gulf that existed between him and Toyota’s Elfyn Evans prior to taking the lead of Rally Spain served as “a wake-up call”.

Elfyn Evans says he needs to start reducing the gap in the championship to World Rally Championship teammate Sébastien Ogier to prevent him from running away with another title.
