Shocking moment… The Acropolis Rally hides difficulties and surprises in every kilometer, every special route. In Agioi Theodorou 2, Saturday’s penultimate special stage, the Toyota GR Yaris Rally1 of Elfin Evans overturned at a right-hand hairpin.
As can be seen in the video, which was uploaded on social media by a spectator of the match, those who were at the scene were not idle. They immediately found themselves next to the car and managed to restore it. Evans-Martin completed the special, but due to the damage to the car they did not take part in the evening superspecial at SEA Sirius.
For history’s sake, Belgian Thierry Neville – as well as Hyundai – took their second win in one of the most historic and tough races of the WRC, the EKO Rally Acropolis. An overturn by Sebastien Ozier (Toyota) in the last ED made it 1-2-3 for Hyundai with Dani Sordo and Ott Tanak.
