Ott Tänak dominates Acropolis Rally with a 43.9-second lead heading into final day

Estonian driver Ott Tänak showcased his mastery at the Acropolis Rally in Greece, holding a commanding 43.9-second lead as the event heads into its final day. Tänak’s stellar performance included winning five out of six stages on the second full day of the rally, solidifying his position at the top of the leaderboard.

Tänak’s strategic tire choice, opting against soft tires despite his team’s decision, proved to be a wise move as he surged ahead of his competitors. With a mix of skillful driving and astute decision-making, Tänak expressed his satisfaction with his performance, acknowledging the improvements in both his road position and car since the previous day.

Behind Tänak, Sébastien Ogier holds a comfortable second place after a strong showing, surpassing Adrien Fourmaux following a setback for the Frenchman on the morning’s final stage. As the eight-time world champion cautiously trails Tänak, the competition remains fierce among the top drivers, with Elfyn Evans also making significant strides in the championship standings.

The rally saw its share of challenges, with notable incidents affecting various drivers, including mechanical issues for M-Sport’s Grégoire Munster and Josh McErlean. Kalle Rovanperä’s retirement further shook up the standings, allowing Thierry Neuville to climb into fifth place despite facing a considerable time deficit.

In the WRC2 category, Oliver Solberg continues to dominate, maintaining a substantial lead over his rivals Gus Greensmith and Kajetan Kajetanowicz. With the competition heating up in each class, the stage is set for an electrifying conclusion to the Acropolis Rally, promising thrills and surprises as the drivers push their limits in pursuit of victory.
