Rally Sweden Day 2

Finn opens up 8.3s lead over Evans with Neuville and Lappi close behind. Kalle Rovanperä led Rally Sweden on Saturday night after a breathtaking drive in darkness distanced his rivals at the close of another fast and furious day's competition. Five different drivers led this second round of the FIA World Rally Championship in Friday's opening leg, but the Finn took control for a second time on Saturday morning and fended off an attack from Toyota GR Yaris team-mate Elfyn Evans. Rovanperä headed Evans by just 1.2sec with two speed tests remaining. As night fell, he turned up the pace further to win both stages and extend his advantage to 8.3sec over the Welshman with Sunday's short final leg remaining. Rovanperä relegated overnight leader Thierry Neuville in the opening special stage and was almost five seconds to the good by the day's midpoint. Evans retaliated on the second pass of the roads only for his colleague to deliver a crucial blow in the dark. "I knew t

Rally Sardinia Preview

Finn targets fourth consecutive win Kalle Rovanperä hunts for a fourth consecutive victory at this weekend’s Rally Italia Sardegna (2 - 5 June) as his Toyota Gazoo Racing squad bids for back-to-back wins on the tough Mediterranean event. Rovanperä arrives at the championship’s fifth round in fine form. He recorded victory on snow, asphalt and gravel at the three previous three rounds and carries a hefty 46-point advantage as the championship approaches its halfway point. While the Finn doesn’t have great memories of the Italian island due to retirements in the previous two years, his team-mate Sébastien Ogier - who is absent this weekend - won last season’s edition. He will have to open the road on Friday, ploughing a line through loose gravel which will become progressively cleaner and grippier with the passage of each car. “Sardinia will be another tough rally,” acknowledged Rovanperä. “The stages there have been tricky for me in the past, but last year I had a better feeling even

Safari Rally Kenya Preview

WRC legends clash at toughest rally of the year Pride of the plains Sébastien Ogier defends his Safari Rally Kenya (23 - 26 June) crown against old foe Sébastien Loeb as they battle for the first time on Africa’s unforgiving terrain. The FIA World Rally Championship legends face off for the third time this year at the sixth and toughest round of the series in the picture-postcard Great Rift Valley. The route teems with exotic wildlife including lions, leopards, giraffes, zebras and hippos. Both drivers are contesting partial programmes this season. Nine-time champion Loeb drew first blood when the 47-year-old became the oldest WRC event winner in history at Rallye Monte-Carlo in his M-Sport Ford Puma Rally1. Toyota Gazoo Racing’s Ogier, eight times a title winner, claimed the Safari crown in 2021 when the sub-Saharan classic returned to the series following a 19-year absence. This will be their first Kenyan clash, with Loeb’s only previous start way back in 2002. Long straight roads
