Hyundai Motorsport - WRC, Wales Rally GB 2017

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

Hyundai Motorsport has achieved a strong podium finish in Wales #rally GB, securing the team second place in the FIA World #rally Championship (WRC) Manufacturers’ title in the penultimate round of the season. #thierryneuville completed the 21-stage event in second position overall, behind Welshman Elfyn Evans, who claimed a popular victory on home soil. The result was not enough to stop Sébastien Ogier from clinching a fifth Drivers’ Championship, but the Belgian crew gave it absolutely everything. Alongside co-driver Nicolas Gilsoul, Neuville took five stage wins over the weekend, including a dominant Power Stage victory – and five extra points. Sunday’s schedule covered five stages with the 10.41km Alwen and 6.43km Brenig tests run twice, split by the 7.49km Gwydir run. The slippery gravel stages made for an entertaining final day of action with 12 seconds separating second to sixth positions at the start of the morning. The close battle kept crews fighting until the very end, and ensured a thrilling finale. Demonstrating the strength of the #hyundai Motorsport package in Wales, Andreas Mikkelsen took fourth place overall in just his second event with the team. Scoring two stage wins on Sunday morning (SS18 Brenig and SS20 Alwen 2), he fended off Jari-Matti Latvala and Ott Tanak for fourth, and ended the #rally only four seconds from the podium. He also picked up an extra point for fifth place in the Power Stage.
