Kalle Rovanperä is on course for a remarkable victory at EKO Acropolis Rally Greece after Saturday’s brutal penultimate leg forced fellow challengers Thierry Neuville and Sébastien Ogier into retirement.
A furious fight in the morning became a matter of survival this afternoon as heat and punishing rock-strewn roads took a heavy toll in this 10th fixture of the FIA World Rally Championship season.
Neuville was 10.9sec clear when he thumped a hole and shattered his Hyundai i20 N’s front-right suspension on the first stage of the afternoon loop. He had trailed championship leader Rovanperä by 36 points coming into this fixture, round 10 of 13.
His demise left Ogier in control but the Frenchman, who entered the final Eleftherohori stage 12.4sec ahead of team-mate Rovanperä, swiped a rock which destroyed the rear-left suspension on his Toyota GR Yaris. He retired on the final road section while Rovanperä romped to the top.
Leading positions after Saturday:
1. K Rovanperä / J Halttunen FIN Toyota GR Yaris 2h 29m 40.5s
2. D Sordo / C Carrera ESP Hyundai i20 N +2m 4.4s
3. E Evans / S Martin GBR Toyota GR Yaris +2m 9.4s
4. O Tänak / M Järveoja EST Ford Puma +4m 49.7s
5. E Lappi / J Ferm FIN Hyundai i20 N +6m 16.6s
6. T Katsuta / A Johnston JPN Toyota GR Yaris +7m 2.2s

WHOAH! What a day 😱
Friday at Finland was also crazy
Safari rally: I'm a destroyer of cars
Acropolis rally: Hold my beer
I am become Acropolis, destroyer of cars.
Jesus Christ. Poor Thierry man. 😢
He was very unlucky!
Because of global pandemic, car manufacter down size their QUALITY. TRUE !!! Even big player like TOY-ota becomes a TOY !!! 😅😅😅😅😅😅
@@andriandri5961what in the roast gammon was that comment?
that last drone shot was nuts
Neuville and Ogier both out....😮
Damn that is nasty
Sad that Neuville is out since I was rooting for him but this turning into an exiting rally for sure!
Hah! Oh MERDE.
They forgot to mention that Mikkelsen who had 3 punctures yesterday is now leading WRC2 by less than a second to Gus Greensmith. Pajri has retired after stopping on the liaison. Yohan Rossel has dropped to 3rd after getting a puncture on the final stage.
It's Man and machine guys 💪
It's rallying: where anything can and usually does happen
No one can say Kalle doesn’t deserve the title this year but this win was gifted to him
There's a reason they call it rally of the gods
this channels recaps are way better than dirt fish. thanks
JEEEESUS?! Holy crap....what a day!?!?!
Damn, you can tell Ogier thought he had it after Neville's retirement
"oh shit" -Rovanperä
Hyundai suspension failures unfortunately not uncommon, but you know it's rough when you have a Toyota suspension failure, which is rare. Would love to know what actually failed on Ogier's car. Looked like it may have been the Reiger suspension damper.
Lappi can't catch a break. Bring it home Kalle. 💪🏁🤛
Neuville just can't catch a break.
so sad for him
Rally muy duro. ¡Vamos Dani¡
Gentlemen this is not just a rally this is Acropolis it is the destoryer of cars and breaker of dreams
Too bad for Neville and the i20 team. Hope Dan sordo takes the win tomorrow. Rooting for the i20s
Kale have 2minutes, how???
Good report mate Mike chen
To Lappi and Neuville, man! They have been very unlucky this year!
I’m still remaining Lappi in México was leading the race but suddenly he crashed into a post…
i feel so sorry thierry he went bump too hard so suspension and his tire couldnt handle it 😢
big up to all the drivers 🇰🇷
Kalle on course to take this.....even overall 2023.
Cool video.
Lappis hair:💥
Nice 👍
Ott is now @ 4th place with 3:40 time penalty, Ogier will clean the road tomorrow @ 9th place.
Doesn't look as tough and slow as Acropolis Rally of old, 1990s was a killer rally
M-Sport getting to the last day with 5/6 cars entered🫣, in the fight possibly for a podium in WRC2 with both Munster and Fourmaux, and then Virves and Prokop in a fight for 9th, and Ott/Martin only a few minutes out in the fight for a podium spot👀Gutted PLL didnt even get to start past the super special though😔
This has always been my favorite rally but unfortunately my man at toyota is out.
If the rough is not enough, better stay home.
Kalle 👍👍
Huhhei what a day
Not a single word about Tänak!
Tänak is @ 4th place now, first big day he got 3 minutes and 40 second penalty, car issue it was.
Cameras for side view mirrors?
👍👍👍👍👍
TOYOTA GAZOO Racing🇯🇵🗾🇫🇮🇬🇧🇯🇵🇮🇪🇫🇷がんばれ❗️
TOY-ota Suspension like a TOY 😂😂😂😂😂😂
you make your own luck in the WRC
No you cannot say that. It's a motor sport and not chess or track and field..
Elfyn, Evans, how did Saturday go???
Evans playing the percentages?
No highlights on the M-sports???😢 Sad
They have none.
It's not our rough roads, your cars are just weak :P
Only three manufacturers and now there are rumors that M-Sport is leaving? Why is the FIA ruining the WRC?
Apparently M-Sport want 3-4 cars starting every rally next year. And Subaru is interested in a return down the line. But for sure the FIA needs to figure out how to attract more manufacturers to the sport again.
subaru doesn't have small engines and hybrids rule,unless they create one
Que pena si se confirma el abandono de la marca coreana del wrc.😢
Too ruff rally. Pure lottery. No good!
now we hope that 2 people that were 1st dont happen the same for kalle
Only three stages to go and he has a huge lead. He'll be taking no risks tomorrow.
@@illuwe yep thats what i have said today to my dad that he could drive a average stage for 3 stages cause he has a 2min gap to evans
Qatar Airways is fine for me ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Come on Hyundai!
Sordo is in P2 👏
Great to see him and Candito still have the top pace to be in these Rally1 rocket ships. Hopefully we get to see him as a driver in some capacity next season but we'll have to see with Teemu now getting the drive in Chile, plus Munster has driven every car this season besides a Rally3, Lets see what he can do in the Puma in Chile🤞🙏 @@RedBullRally
dan sudo could win it
first✌️😎
🏆
I came last here
Average greek roads. Wait till you see the bad ones. This rally is made for the GODS-G.O.A.T's and are the only ones who can survive it.
PROFESSIONAL JOB 💜 EXCELLENT SERVICE ❤️ CONGRATULATIONS 💙 VVIP 🤎 HERO 🖤 FANTASTIC 💛 EXPERIENCE ❤️ GOOD LUCK NASEEEEER QATAR DAKAAAAR RALLY
