Thierry Neuville kept a charging Sébastien Ogier at bay to lead EKO Acropolis Rally Greece on Friday night - overcoming a late technical drama in the process.
Just 2.8sec blanketed the duelling duo after the first full day of competition at the legendary Acropolis’ 70th edition. Despite winning just one of the five gruelling gravel road tests, Neuville led from start to finish.
The Hyundai i20 N driver passed overnight pacesetter Kalle Rovanperä by going fastest through the Loutraki opener and had pulled out a 7.4sec buffer over Toyota rival Ogier going into the final stage in Elatia. But his hard work was very nearly in vain as a mechanical problem, suspected to be transmission related, hampered him throughout the 28.32km blast.
Leading positions after Friday:
1. T Neuville / M Wydaeghe BEL Hyundai i20 N 55m 10.4s
2. S Ogier / V Landais FRA Toyota GR Yaris +2.8s
3. K Rovanperä / J Halttunen FIN Toyota GR Yaris +25.5s
4. E Evans / S Martin GBR Toyota GR Yaris +31.0s
5. E Lappi / J Ferm FIN Hyundai i20 N +32.1s
6. T Katsuta / A Johnston JPN Toyota GR Yaris +41.7s

Neuville got it done today, can he hang on and go back-to-back at the Acropolis Rally? 🏆🏆
This has come not to be today's Saturday courtesy, broken front suspension . Too bad for him and the i20 fraternity
KR#69 has matured so fast, hard to beat & break: Seb's champion's armour & Toyota's reliability, hard ball for other teams. O.T#8 attitude with all the Pumas drama & being a sole ranger very positive..Hope to see more thrills between KR#69, TN#11 & OT#8....twende kazi..🇰🇪
Man, if only these recaps weren't 40% stage actions and 60% drivers debriefing...
agreed!
That Puma is so unreliable. All the best to Tanak.
It's a FORD. where I come from it used to mean Fix Or Repair Daily guess nothing has changed
Ford has always been unreliable since the Escort RS Cosworth
You realize they all have the same engine and hybrid unit, right?
@@shaneswiley Nope. They are all 1.6 liter engines, but each manufacturer makes their own. For instance Toyota uses a 3 cylinder, while others use a 4 cylinder.
@@garrettrinquest1605 No, they all run 4 cyl global race engines. Also spec chassis and spec hybrid system. They have their own engine and hybrid deployment mapping, aero, suspension strut angles. Nothing is carried over from the road cars
And somepeople stay home...Great health to the drivers and thiers. Thank you Red Bull for always "bringing it" for us to enjoy. Bless you.
Just the best WRC channel! Thanks for the great highlights
Glad you enjoy it!
So tired of Ott having issues with the car. It never ends.
He's been having issues with the car at each teams. Maybe it's his driving style
Fantastic video.
Best wishes to Neville. Hope he doesn't encounter any issues.
welp:/
WRC 2023 remainders will be a showdown between Elfyn and Kalle.... I hope
One of the last things left to Greece.....
i love rallying!! what’s your guys’ favourite rally car?
As a south African... I'd have to say toyota
@@michellengomane1540 good choice!
For me i'd have to say Toyota , The Gr Yaris is just brilliant . What's your's?
The MG Metro
hyundia and mistubishi have to be my all time favorites but most of all group b cars are just the dream we cant reach
Hi Mike chen good video awesome
Hello 👋
Nice 👍
Thanks ✌
PUMA IS A LEMON!
What i've observed from this video is that there is a lot of spectators in the stages
yes rally is quite popular in Greece
🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
I like how random dudes the drivers are looking like. If I see one in a normal car I would never ever imagine what are they capable of.
i20n please don't hold the flying Neuville back
Hope Thierry won't get f*cked by his car again
Go Neville go all will be well when you put God first
Puma is such a beautiful car, but damn Tanak cannot catch a break with the damn thing 😢
He may have walked under a ladder or 2 this season 🙄
Well done Ford (or M-Sport?)
Neverending chain of failed o-rings, electronics, engine parts, water pumps etc. makes me believe that there is something seriously wrong with Ford spare parts quality. This makes me never consider byuing any (new or used) Ford.
If people think like you then they will never buy a Ferrari or Mercedes again because they always lose from Honda in F1.
@@pankal74 the difference is that in F1 everything is built from scratch while in WRC the engine is a heavilly modified road going engine (in case of Ford, if I'm not mistaken, it's a re-sleeved 2L ecoboost), and thus minor parts like sealings, water pump etc. are the same as on road cars
@@babuin9798 the difference is that you will never drive this heavily modified engine in WRC conditions. You will drive it on road conditions and in traffic. So these engine parts are good enough for these conditions.
Good good, poor OTT cant catch a break : /
its the car thats catching it instead.... repeatedly.
In action tomorrow.... i'll be there
Enjoy the speed of these cars live - what a thrill!
