Report[]

World Rally Cars[]

Dani Sordo and Carlos del Barrio held a narrow lead going onto Saturday, despite a ten-second time penalty for cutting a chicane.[10] Teammate Thierry Neuville and Nicolas Gilsoul's title hope was washed away as their i20 was drawn out when the engine expired in heavy standing water after damaging their right-front suspension.[11] Teemu Suninen and Jarmo Lehtinen retired from the rally because of an unfixable misfiring engine.[12] Championship situation was shifted on Saturday as Elfyn Evans and Scott Martin went off road in the afternoon loop.[13] Other major retirements of the day included Gus Greensmith and Elliott Edmondson, and Ole Christian Veiby and Jonas Andersson.[14] Eventually, Sébastien Ogier and Julien Ingrassia won the event, which was enough to overhaul their teammate Evans and Martin to snatch their seventh world titles.[4]
